I'm a big fan of Sun Droplet as a life gain card. It's like Dragon's Claw but just better pretty much all the time, and once you get multiples your life total shoots up.
Test it out and let us know. My initial thought is that as good as it is, it's too slow of life gain unless u have multiples out. If you could remove x charge counters and gain x life that would be different. 1 life a turn when they are slinging bolts just isn't enough. Eidolon, plus 2 bolts which happens a lot, is 8 dmg (saying we cast a fog to prevent combat dmg) for a turn. You gain 1 so it's 7. Next turn they draw more bolts off our mines so now it's another 7. That's 14 and we've gained 2. See what I'm saying. I play burn as my competitive modern deck and so it's what I have to play test against with turbo. I'd have to try it myself but I feel initially that it's not enough without multiples.
2 a turn.
You gain 1 on each upkeep.
But like you said, a single one is pretty underwhelming, whereas 2+ are pretty nuts.

Tired of losing to natural Tron or getting turn 2'd by Infect?
Standard infinite combos giving you a headache and the opponent always has Force of Will?

I'm working on the new primer right now, so we can update it regularly. Just tweaking a bit this primer including some new card choices, strategies, corrected typos and such, don't expect big modifications as it's the first time I do this.
Once loaded, I'll be hearing suggestions and corrections, please.
Ivory Crane Netsuke doesn't work.
I tried it, because if you don't use your brain, it looks awesome!
We'll pretty much always have 7 cards in hand at the end of our turn and 4 life per turn is more than anything else does!
I drew it promptly in my first game aaanndd....got not a single lifepoint from it.
Turns out, having 7 cards in hand at the beginning of your upkeep is kinda hard when you go down to 6 each turn, because you have to fog...
So, that's out.
I'm on Sundroplets still atm, but that's mostly because I haven't found anything better yet.
It's...ok.
But only really works in multiples, otherwise it'll be too slow against Burn in many cases.
And if destroyed it loses all it's value.
4 Droplets and 2 Elixirs are kinda ok, but still sketchy. Something more reliable would be nice.
