Renewed Faith gains you 6 life for three mana — or cycles for two mana if you need cards more than life. The cycling mode is what makes it worth considering at all; without it, this is a forgettable lifegain spell.

In Commander, Renewed Faith is fringe at best — 6 life is rarely meaningful in a 40-life format, and the cycling clause only rescues it in dedicated cycling-matters builds like Zur, Eternal Schemer or Anikthea, Hand of Erebos shells that want density of cyclers. In Pauper it sees occasional play in Tron and white-based control decks that want cheap cyclers to smooth draws while gaining incidental life against aggro. Legacy, Vintage, Modern, and Pioneer have enough efficient draw and lifegain that Renewed Faith never competes — the cycling cost is too high at two mana when better cantrips exist.

Price Context
Current price
$0.75 bulk tier
At $0.75, Renewed Faith sits at the top of the bulk tier — you're paying a small premium purely for the cycling text. It won't climb; supply is deep and demand is narrow.
