No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Gain more life than Ghandi

I'm not seeing how this deck lets you gain more life than Ghandi.

There doesn't seem to be any focus here, you've got half a life gain deck and half an exalted deck, and as a result you have an unfocused mess.

Archangel's Light and Akroma's Memorial are too expensive, you'll never see them. Elixir of Immortality is better value Graveyard Return, and more guaranteed life gain in the long run.

Your Cathedral Sanctifiers are only being used as one shot life gains, Put in a conjurers closet instead of the Memorial and they become a lot more useful.

I'd also drop the Enchantments entirely in favour of equipment and increasing your one of's.

Another Ajani, another Sublime Archangel, and some Moonsilver Spears to get both your first strike back, as well as more creatures for the Exalted effects to feed off.

Just my 2 cents.

- Your mana curve is a little top heavy, try adding another color like black, that way you could have things like Vampire Nighthawak, Sorin Lord of Innistrad, and Sorin's Vengeance.
- You could also add green instead and ramp up some mana with Birds of Paradise or Borderland Ranger, green also has Thragtusk which is amazing.
- And one last thing, if your going to get maximum use out of cards with abilities that trigger when they enter or leave the battlefield, I would consider Restoration Angel, or Cloudshift.
- Other than that, I like the idea, you never see life gain decks these days at tournaments, but that doesn't mean it can't work. =D

Might I suggest removing Moonsilver Spear? It can be cool, but it doesn't really help either of your goals and it's too expensive for just the first strike. Also, Goldnight Redeemer really works best in a token deck, at least if you want to get maximum potential out of it.

Switch them out for 2x Sunstriker and 2x Pilgrim. I like the Restoration angel option, too, especailly wwhen combo'd with soulbond creatures. Hmm...

-1 Chalice, -1 Seraph of Dawn, +2 Silverblade Paladin? And as much as I hate to, you might want to switch the other two Seraphs for 2 Resto Angels.

Just some ideas for you. :D

I would add more Goldnight Redeemer and some Cloudshift spells. Captain of the watch will help put out more creatures for Goldnight Redeemer, and with conjurer's closet you'll be able to get all kinds of life.
Let me know what you think about my Non Combat Death Touch deck,
