Beacon of Immortality

Beacon of Immortality was first printed in the Scourge expansion in 2003, later appearing as part of the Tenth Edition core set in 2007. As a core set release, this version served to maintain the presence of iconic or mechanically distinct cards within the standard card pool, providing players with a straightforward way to double their life total. The Tenth Edition printing featured updated card frames and modernized formatting to align with the visual standards established by Wizards of the Coast during that era.

The card’s illustration was provided by the artist Greg Staples, who captured the ethereal and divine nature of the effect through high-contrast lighting and celestial imagery. The design is intended to reflect a sense of overwhelming spiritual restoration, fitting the white color identity’s focus on preservation and longevity. Upon its release, it was regarded by the community as a powerful, albeit situational, game-state changer often utilized in casual formats and multiplayer environments where life total fluctuations are frequent.
