Deck Description

Big Beefy White Life Gain with Flying.

Started from the Ajani 2011 Starter deck and evolved over the years.

Name is a play on the fact there is a cost anytime someone plays a creature.

How to Play

Use Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest, Ajani's Mantra, and Angel's feather for many cheap life gain triggers. Life gain feeds into Ajani's Pridemate and Archangel of Thune's abilities to ramp up creature strength.

Palace guard is the primary blocker. Armored Ascension is there to combo with Palace Guard and Pridemate.

Sun Titan, and Emeria the sky ruin keep me from running out of creatures late game and provide a continued source of life gain.

Ajani Goldmane's -1 can be used to give the heavies an attacking and blocking phase, and its -6 ability combined with Celestial Mantle is just mean spirited. (Creature with power equal to your life total with double-strike and life-link.

Words of warning, once there's an Archangel of Thune and a True Conviction in play it becomes hell to tally your +1s.

Definitely considered it as an alt for Suture Priest. Don't think it's worth losing the offensive advantage of Suture. It's a good source of consistent life gain effects, but I'm hesitant to add another life gain effect tied to creatures being played instead of divesifying

Personally I would rather use [[Gideon's Company]] (or Leonin Warleader) instead of Palace Guard.
Like SeriousPaul mentioned, I would definitely switch Suture Priest for Authority of the Consuls. You don't loose any offensive because you gain life when your opponent puts a creature on the battlefield, thus strengthening yourself and [[Ajani's Pridemate]]. You also prefent your opponent from blocking with this creature, making your deck even more aggressive.
Armored Ascension seems a little bit of an overkill in this deck to me. Using Cobbled Wings or Angelic Gift (/Call to Serve, [[Gryff's Boon]], or any other cheap card that provides a creature with fyling)
