Fasting

Enchantment, W (1)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a hunger counter on Fasting. Then destroy Fasting if it has five or more hunger counters on it.
If you would begin your draw step, you may skip that step instead. If you do, you gain 2 life.
When you draw a card, destroy Fasting.¹

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 10/1/2008: When you resolve the beginning-of-upkeep triggered ability, you first put a hunger counter on Fasting, then you check how many hunger counters it has. If there are five or more, Fasting is destroyed.
• 10/1/2008: The third ability previously instructed you to sacrifice Fasting when you draw a card. This has been changed to destruction, so effects that regenerate it or make it indestructible can keep it on the battlefield.
• 10/1/2008: You choose whether or not to skip your draw step as that step begins. This ability is now separate from the beginning-of-upkeep triggered ability.
