Healing Hands

Healing Hands was originally printed in the Magic: The Gathering set Magic Origins, released in 2015. As a common card, it was designed to function within the Limited environment of the set, providing players with a straightforward way to gain life while simultaneously replacing itself by drawing a card. This mechanic, known as a cantrip, was intended to help players stabilize their board state during the mid-to-late stages of a game.

The card features artwork by Howard Lyon, who chose a soft, ethereal aesthetic to reflect the restorative nature of the spell. The design follows the classic fantasy tradition of white-aligned magic in the game, focusing on healing and protection. Within the broader context of The List—a curated selection of reprints integrated into modern booster packs—this version retains the original Magic Origins expansion symbol, serving as a reminder of the foundational card pool from which it was drawn.
