: Target player loses 4 life.
Gorael is an ancient sphinx that wanted her kind to be the only ones among Esper, as seen in Onyx Goblet.
She was designed to be the big
artifact creature, ready to serve as a normal control finisher, cheated with Master Transmuter or Ethersworn Zombie, or reanimated by a combo deck. She's also the only big hexproof creatures aside from the token put by Sigarda's Assistance, so, yes, she's pretty special.
Once the flying and built-in protection was decided, it was fun to reference the Goblet. But, of course, 1 life wouldn't do. Lifelink caused two things: it made the difference between attacking and using the ability much more prominent, and it also made the sphinx a better blocker when there was trouble.
If your opponent brings Gorael, you will probably be very afraid. On the board, she imposes as much as you expect from one the few sphinxes that survived Grixis's attack after the Conflux.
