Grace in Every Gain: Aerith Gainsborough
Aerith Gainsborough enters the battlefield as a Legendary Creature with a modest 2/2 body and Lifelink, making her a reliable source of incremental advantage in any life-gain focused deck. Each time you gain life, Aerith grows stronger, accumulating +1/+1 counters that reflect her nurturing spirit. This mechanic rewards careful play and synergy with lifegain triggers, allowing you to build a resilient board presence over time.
Her true impact reveals itself upon death. When Aerith dies, she transfers her strength to every legendary creature you control, distributing +1/+1 counters equal to her own accumulated total. This unique ability offers a powerful payoff, turning a single loss into a potential board-wide boost. Aerith fits seamlessly into Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY decks and beyond, providing both sustain and growth that can shift the momentum in your favor.
