Squirrel King John IV

If you were to gain one or more life, instead
create that many 1/1 Green and White Squirrel
Soldiers with lifelink.
When Squirrel King John IV enters the battlefield, gain {x} life.
"—and so, he sent forth his overwhelming masses,
easily defending his plane from the eldrazi scourge."
-Urza to his students at Tolarian Academy
