Breath of Life

C'mon guys let be real starting with an Akroma and this in your hand just spend one turn not laying any cards down discard Akroma and lay it turn 4-5 depending on what cards u have with them and start swinging with akroma that early? no contest

I would say this card is actually better than Resurrection or Zombify. Resurrection has exactly the same converted mana cost and effect, but it costs WW to play as opposed to W for Breath of Life, which makes it harder to splash in a deck that isn't mono-white. On the other hand, Zombify is exactly the same as Breath of Life but with a different color, but graveyard recursion is common in black, not so much in white, making decks with Breath of Life more versatile.

What kind of a magic: The Gathering Rookie would not have this card in his/her hand. I mean put a 50/50 card down and even if it does get destroyed. You just play this card bodabing bodaboom he's back. It's a good idea to keep a few in your deck and maybe a multiple spell to use it a few times possibly a fork.

At first glance, Breath of Life seems like a 3 or 4 star card. However, the true power of this card is revealed in combination with Mercenary Knight and Archangel. On turn three, drop a Mercenary Knight and discard the Archangel from your hand. Next turn, cast Breath of Life. You will now have a 4/4 land creature and 5/5 Flying, does not tap to attack creature in play by turn four! This card is really strong for Portal Players.
