# Lifelink (Magic 2010) Lifelink is a straightforward keyword ability that gained prominence through core set printings like this Magic 2010 common. Collectors view it as a foundational mechanic rather than a chase card, though the common rarity makes it accessible for those building complete set collections. The ability's simplicity—creatures deal damage and you gain that much life—made it ideal for teaching new players, which is why it appeared at common in educational sets. Foil versions exist but hold minimal premium value compared to rarer cards. Collectors typically pursue this card only when completing Magic 2010 sets or assembling keyword ability collections. It represents the evergreen nature of Magic's design philosophy rather than any particular scarcity or desirability.
