Dawn of a New Age is a white enchantment with a unique mechanic centered around hope counters. Here's how it works:

• When Dawn of a New Age enters the battlefield, it gains a hope counter for each creature you control. This reflects the idea that hope is kindled by the presence of creatures.

• At the beginning of your end step, you must remove a hope counter from Dawn of a New Age if it has any. If you do, you get to draw a card. This represents the idea that hope inspires new ideas and possibilities.

• However, if Dawn of a New Age has no hope counters on it, you must sacrifice it. This symbolizes the idea that hope can be fleeting but also provides a benefit: you gain 4 life when it's sacrificed, reflecting the sense of relief and comfort that hope can bring.

Overall, this card tells a thematic story of hope and its impact on the game, with the number of creatures you control directly affecting its mechanics.
