If you gaining life causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on Dr. Crusher.
Predicted power
Standard 40 Eng.D+Usr.

Crusher can become large quickly and double gain-based payoffs, but a 3-mana 2/2 without a life-gain engine is a weak draw.

Best home White-based lifegain shellBand fringeConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unrevealed Standard lifegain payoffs or reliable enablers could make its trigger-doubling much more valuable.

Pioneer 32 Eng.D-Usr.

It has a plausible synergy role, but Pioneer asks more of a three-drop than a conditional 2/2 that needs other cards in play.

Best home White lifegain-counter shellBand fringeConfidence 54%

Could be wrong if A proven lifegain shell may value doubling counter and drain triggers more than this rate suggests.

Modern 26 Eng.FUsr.

Repeated lifegain can grow Crusher by two counters at a time, but it is slow, fragile, and does not supply its own life-gain engine.

Best home White lifegain creature shellBand speculativeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if A dense low-cost lifegain creature shell could make the self-growing body and doubled payoffs efficient enough.

Legacy 20 Eng.FUsr.

A conditional three-mana creature without immediate disruption or card advantage is unlikely to meet Legacy's efficiency threshold.

Best home White lifegain creature shellBand speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if An established engine exploiting doubled gain-triggered payoffs could create a narrow home.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 47 Eng.C-Usr.

It doubles permanents' gain-triggered payoffs and grows rapidly from repeated life gain, but does not double the life-gain triggers themselves.

Best home White lifegain-payoff decksBand role-playerConfidence 66%

Could be wrong if Its lack of protection, evasion, and independent lifegain may leave it too replaceable in optimized lists.

Limited 52 Eng.CUsr.

A 3-mana 2/2 is weak alone, but each lifegain event adds two counters; the revealed lifelink cards make that upside plausible.

Best home White lifegain deckBand playableConfidence 35%

Could be wrong if Draft support, lifegain density, removal, and format speed are largely unknown.

Lifegain trigger doubler

“A conditional three-drop that can snowball from repeated lifegain, but needs both reliable life gain and worthwhile payoff triggers.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
