This could be called Gift of the Yew.

What's the Yew?

on 23 Sep 2013 by The Humanity:

A tree- it could be any tree really. There has to be some level of mysticism I think, to explain green, especially in a world like this where magic is literally a chunk of rock. So, the trees could absorb some of that and provide a very subtle level of protection.

Maybe gift of orchids would work, I could see someone gaining strength by drinking mana infused nectar a little easier than a mana infused tree blessing a protector.

Something like [Strength of Ages Past]?

Basically, the creature gains strength (+N/+N) and wisdom (Untaps) from the age old trees around the caster.

Sure.

IMO [Strength of Ages Past] has the most flavor potential. We need a card to reference what the plane was like before Cyrus arrived, iff we want to show that in this set. Only by showing what was before we can bring across the influence Cyrus had. I'm referencing the Planeswalkers Guide from the first post here, hoping that it hasn't been reworked.

The PW guide has been rewritten. Much has been added but what's there is mostly correct.
