Cradle of Vitality

Enchantment, 3W (4)
Whenever you gain life, you may pay {1}{W}. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature for each 1 life you gained.
Naya's trees grow tall and sturdy. Their foliage intertwines to form dewcups, rainwater pools where the elves gather to celebrate life.
Illus. Trevor Hairsine

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 10/1/2008: You choose a target when the ability triggers. You don't choose whether to pay {1}{W} until the ability resolves.
• 10/1/2008: Cradle of Vitality triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Deathgreeter or 8 life from Soul's Grace. You pay the cost just once, but the targeted creature will get a number of counters equal to the amount of life you gained.
