Kestia, the Cultivator, Legendary enchantment creature — nymph, designed by Zezhou Chen first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Treasure Chest and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Kestia, the Cultivator is particularly beneficial in enchantment-themed decks, such as those built around the Enchantment or Aura archetypes, where you can maximize the value of both its bestow ability and its card draw effect. Decks that utilize cards like Sram, Senior Edificer or Eidolon of Blossoms can further capitalize on the enchantment synergy, making Kestia a strong addition. While there are other powerful enchantment creatures like Eidolon of Blossoms or Sigil of the Empty Throne that can also draw cards, Kestia's ability to provide a significant power boost and card advantage in combat makes her a unique and valuable option. Overall, Kestia should see play in the right deck, especially in formats where enchantment synergies are prominent.

If a permanent with bestow enters the battlefield by any method other than being cast, it will be an enchantment creature. You can’t choose to pay the bestow cost and have it become an Aura.

If multiple enchanted or enchantment creatures you control attack, you draw that many cards.

The phrase “you control” applies to both “enchanted creature” and “enchantment creature.” That is, Kestia’s ability triggers when an enchanted creature you control attacks, not any player’s enchanted creature.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a bestow cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

Unlike other Aura spells, an Aura spell with bestow still resolves if its target is illegal. Instead of entering the battlefield as an Aura, the effect making it an Aura spell ends, it loses enchant creature, and it resolves and enters the battlefield as an enchantment creature.
