About Soothing Balm

Soothing Balm, Instant, designed by Scott M. Fischer first released in Oct, 1999 in the set Mercadian Masques.

Soothing Balm would be beneficial in life-gain decks, particularly those that focus on sustaining a long game or utilizing synergies with cards that trigger effects based on life gained, such as Ajani's Pridemate or Soul Warden. While it provides a solid life gain for just one mana, there are arguably better options like Healing Salve or even more versatile cards like Altar of Dementia that can provide additional utility or card advantage. However, Soothing Balm can still see play in casual or specific life-gain strategies, especially in formats where low-cost life gain can help stabilize against aggressive decks.
