About Celestial Mantle

Celestial Mantle, Enchantment — aura, designed by Steve Argyle first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 30.79. It's a key card in 1 combos.

This card, Celestial Mantle, would benefit a deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and gaining life. Decks that aim to win through combat damage and life gain synergies, such as a White Weenie or Lifegain deck, would find this card useful. While Celestial Mantle can be powerful in the right deck, there are potentially better options available, such as True Conviction, which provides similar benefits along with double strike, making it a more versatile choice. Whether Celestial Mantle should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it's being considered for.

Rules

06/15/10

In a Two-Headed Giant game, Celestial Mantle’s essentially doubles the team’s life total. Specifically, the triggered ability will affect one player’s life total, and then the team’s life total is adjusted by the amount of life the player gains as a result of this ability. Suppose a creature enchanted by Celestial Mantle deals combat damage to an opponent, and that creature’s controller’s team has 11 life. That player then has 11 life, so it’s doubled to 22, for a net gain of 11 life. The team’s life total becomes 22 (11 + 11).

10/01/09

At the time the ability triggers, determine which creature Celestial Mantle is enchanting. As the ability resolves, determine who currently controls that creature (or, if it’s no longer on the battlefield, determine who controlled it when it left). That’s the player whose life total is doubled. It doesn’t matter who controls Celestial Mantle, who controlled the creature at the time the ability triggered, or what creature Celestial Mantle enchants at the time the ability resolves.

10/01/09

If the enchanted creature’s controller has a life total below 0 (which is possible if that player controls Platinum Angel, for example), Celestial Mantle’s triggered ability multiplies that number by two. For example, if the player had -4 life, that player’s life total becomes -8.
