Carte Magic Dawn of Hope

Dawn of Hope is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Whenever you gain life, you may pay {2}. If you do, draw a card. {3}{W}: Create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token with lifelink.

How it works : Dawn of Hope

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Dawn of Hope's ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Dawn of Hope's first ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Vicious Rumors or 3 life from Creeping Chill.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't pay {2} multiple times to draw more than one card each time you resolve Dawn of Hope's triggered ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something, that life is gained as one event and Dawn of Hope's first ability triggers only once.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause the ability to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
