Whenever you gain life, you may pay X mana, where X is less than or equal to the amount of life you gained. If you do, draw X cards.
Some say the knowledge lost during the Ritual of Rebuking is returned through the well's waters.

Where it came from
Well of Lost Dreams was originally introduced in the 2002 Magic: The Gathering set Odyssey, designed to reward players for investing extra mana into their card draw mechanics. The card reflects the set's graveyard-focused themes, where resources and attrition are central to the strategy. Its mechanics create a high-risk, high-reward tension, allowing players to exchange mana for hand advantage during a turn.
The Retro Artifacts version, released in the 2022 expansion The Brothers' War, features artwork by Jeff Miracola that adopts the classic border style reminiscent of the game's earliest years. Miracola's illustration captures the ethereal, melancholic atmosphere of the well, contrasting with the mechanical, industrial aesthetic pervasive throughout the rest of the set. The design was received by the community as a nostalgic homage, bridging the gap between modern card functionality and the iconic visual language of the late 1990s.
