Deck Description

Win:
Felidar
Ajani's Pridemate (Quickly becomes big)
Transcendant Master
Serra Ascendant
Ajani (Beef my other creatures and beat my opponent into the table, or X/X life Avatar)

This deck goes for the Powered up, life gaining defenders to hold up for me while i get out 1 or 2 of my 16 win condition cards.

The Soul's Attendant (after learning about it haha >.>) is extremely useful in straightening out my mana curve and also gaining me a shit load of life if played T1.

T1: Plains, Attendant
T2: Kabira ,Attendant
T3: Plains, Ajani's Pridemate (two +1+1 counters, 4/4.)
T4: Serra Ascendant (Turn 4 27 life. 6/6 Ajani Pridemate. And one or two turns off of a 6/6 flying lifelink.)
Well that's seven cards.
Let's repeat that with custom draws.

T1: Plains, Attendant
T2: Kabira ,Attendant (Draw Serra Ascendant)
T3: Plains, Ajani's Pridemate (two +1+1 counters, 4/4.) (Draw Soul's Attendant)
T4: (Draw Plains) Plains, Attendant, Ascendant x2, attack with 12/12 Pridemate.
T5: Attack with 12/12 Pridemate, 6/6 flying lifelink, 6/6 flying lifelink.

That's what this deck is like, the defenders are there for the early turns and are extremely useful in making opponents early 1/1 2/2 3/3 creatures sit still.

Now when my opponent isn't attacking I'm free to bide my time drawing the cards i need, which isn't a difficult thing since half the deck are win conditions.
6/6 flying lifelink.
10/10 Pridemates
X/X Avatar
9/9 Lifelink Indestructible
4/6 Vigilance Lifelink
40+ Life = win.

Deck discussion for Standard Life Gain Creatures

Nice deck, but a couple questions... first, why Marsh Flats in a mono white deck? Also, no Ajani's Mantras? What about Soul Attendants? Soul Wardens? If you're going to make life gain a win condition with the Sovereign, why not go for the throat?

Throw in 4 soul's attendant, it's perfect as a turn 1 play to bring up your life early game. I can see why you'd use the marsh flats to thin the deck but the fact that they ping you for life may mess with your win condition a bit, just bear it mind when playtesting.

Survival cache is a great card for card advantage and life gain. You could also go for some kabira crossroads as well. Alternatively rest for the weary is a good card to use as well as it provides the most life per mana cost I know of.
