Breath of Life
# Breath of Life Breath of Life represents a straightforward approach to life gain that appeals to collectors interested in Magic's early design philosophy. As an uncommon from Starter 2000, it occupies a modest place in the game's history as an introductory product. Collectors typically view this card as a functional piece of limited-format gameplay rather than a constructed staple, though its simple mechanic—returning a creature from your graveyard while gaining life—demonstrates the kind of utility effects that defined early Magic design. The card's accessibility through a starter set means copies are generally available and affordable. For those building collections around specific sets or eras, Breath of Life serves as a reasonable example of uncommon-level design without commanding particular collector attention or premium pricing.
