golden dragon yugioh card YU-GI-OH! - Summoner (YS14-EN016) - Super Starter - Space-Time Showdown - 1st Edition trading and collectible card game (TCG/CCG) Slifer the Sky Dragon [PGLD-EN032]

Goldspan has proven itself to be a force to be reckoned with, being able to put on pressure while providing a mana-advantage

(2018-10-05) Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event

He also has good synergy with various mass removal effects as you can save something of yours, even Venser himself, from the effect

If an opponent destroys your creature in response to the connive trigger, you still draw and discard a card

However, in a competitive Magic: the Gathering environment, there may be better options for a similar cost that offer more immediate impact or synergy with specific strategies, such as Baleful Strix or Dark Confidant, so Shadowheart may not see widespread play but could still be a fun and flavorful inclusion in casual decks
