I mean, Artifact lifegain can be good. Aetherflux Reservoir is one more expensive, but you get the same ticking and the reward for getting the damn thing online is a devastating finisher.
Braidwood Cup costs the same to play and is better for the first three activations.
Fountain of Youth is better in pretty much every way for incremental lifegain and mana-outlet purposes.
Strictly better than Marble Chalice, at least. Wait, Devotion, dammit. Anyway, Pristine Talisman is probably better, since it gives you mana right away instead of taking your mana in exchange for giving you more life later. And Staff of Domination is worse in the lifegain aspect but does so. Many. other things that it really doesn't compare.
