This is a much improved version dude, very nice. If you can get you hands on a second Felidar, I would highly recommend it. 50 life vs. 40 life doesn't look like much, but it is, especially once your opponent catches on to you gaining crap-loads of life. Even if you can't though, this is really nice.

This deck looks similar to one of my decks I used to run (to very good effect I might add). These are the changes I would make:

-transcendent master (huge scary late game, but you'll be winning (or losing) far before this guy would ever become much of a threat)
-elixir of immortality (there are a ton of other mechanics that gain you life better, better as a sideboard against mill decks)

-Student of Warare (this card is amazing, but it suffers the same fate as the transcendent master, as well as not contributing or benefiting much from your lifegain)

-Children of Korlis (This card is either a gamewinner against high burn decks, or useless against decks that cant get past your pridesmate. I feel there are better for the mana)

-Ajanis Mantra (This is a decent enchantment, which synergizes very well with ajani's pridemate. That said, I feel that with the changes I am proposing, this card isn't really necessary)

- Felidar/test of endurance (this card is a great win condition, for the sideboard. In other decks, the casting cost will be a huge issue, and will therefore lead to being dead weight in your hand)

Okay, the cards to add:

+ Serra Ascendent (Hugely Huge gamewinning card. comboing this card with Martyr of sands can land you an attacking 6/6 flier with lifelink on TURN TWO. Must have in ANY lifegain deck)

+Soul Attendant (We love soul warden so much, why not have twice as many? Great synergy with Pridesmate (several counters for each creature entering the battlefield? yummy!)

+Ranger of Eos (Not getting those epic draws you need midgame? Got your serra ascendant stuck in the middle of your deck? Here's your answer. 4 mana for a deck search of your one mana cost creatures is amazing, add in that it's on a creature makes this a must have!)

+ Lands. You should be running at least 23 lands in this deck, add in 1 or 2 emeria and a few more plains.

Anyway, Hope this helps! I'm a big lifegain junkie, and think that martyr of sands is the best card ever! You're off to a good start, anyway.

I don't remember who ran this list, might have been DedWards, I dunno, but somebody ran something that just amused me to no end.

3 Soul's Attendant
3 Soul Warden
2 Suture Priest
4 Forbidden Orchard.


I like how you've shaped it up, and I hope you're enjoying it. I'm personally no good with lifegain, but I hear it's fun.

Heh, no problem! Looks really good, you'll have a ton of fun playing with the serra ascendant. In my opinion the single most amazing white card from M11. I would say that adding in 3 ranger of eos' and increasing your land number to 23-24 would be the last change I would make.

you don't need any help i see haha - yeah ranger of eos just makes this deck stupid good, this is soul sisters on crack, the only thing i see is that it needs removal (you can't play white without any removal, its like playing blue without any counterspells or draw) oh and wall of reverence, if you get an avatar from ajani out you can double your life total it's a combo eternity vessel
