Alseid of Life's Bounty

Description

Alseid of Life's Bounty, card number 143 in the Jumpstart 2022 expansion, is an uncommon Enchantment Creature with the Nymph subtype. Illustrated by Magali Villeneuve, this white mana card features a mana cost of {W} and a mana value of 1. Its power and toughness are both rated at 1/1, making it a low-cost option for early-game strategies. The card's rules text provides two distinct abilities. First, it enters the battlefield with lifelink, meaning any damage dealt by Alseid to creatures or players also causes its controller to gain that much life. Second, it offers a flexible protective effect: by paying {1} and sacrificing Alseid, a controller can give a target creature or enchantment they control protection from the color of their choice until the end of the turn. This sacrifice mechanic allows for strategic board control or the protection of more valuable permanents. As part of the Jumpstart 2022 product line, Alseid of Life's Bounty serves as a component for pre-constructed 40-card boosters. The card's white color identity and enchantment creature type make it a versatile piece for decks looking to leverage lifegain and temporary protection effects. Its inclusion in the Jumpstart 2022 set provides a unique printing experience for players who enjoy the format's streamlined deck-building approach.
