Deck Description

Basically thin the deck as much as possible with search land, squadron hawk and survival cache. Then gain lots of life with emeria angel working with soul's attendant, and other ways, making serra ascendant a 6/6 flyer, and sun titan and emeria, the sky ruin bringing anything in the deck back except survival cache.
Please point out any flaws and give comments and ratings.

Deck discussion for Graveyard/Lifegain

this is actually pretty solid only a few things that i can actually help you improve on, first off you can drop your emeria sky ruin to 3, 3 is going to almost guarentee you that you will have one before you meet its requirement, and reduces the chances of you making a dead-draw (well not a completely dead draw seeing as how you would still be drawing a land, but it comes into play tapped and does nothing)
then id repeat the same thing for almost the same reasons with sun titan and baneslayer angel assuming you have one or the cash.

that sounds pretty resonable so i will change it, but honestly i only have one slayer and two titans and only one of each of the search lands, but thanks for the comment, but i do have some questions, if there are two sky ruins out can i bring back a creature for each, and what do you think about droping lone missionary for ajanis pridemate???? and thanks for explaining the search lands it does get kinda annoying sometimes but we were all noobs at one point lol

that ajanis pridemate would be quite risky id put him in for squadron hawk a lot easier than the lone missionary and it would work

and as far as the emeria goes, yes you can get one creature back for each emeria, i just really really hate dead-drawing them when i dont have the plains

yah i wanted the pridemate just to have another possibilty of a big creature, but i like the deck thinning better so i'll probably keep the squadrons, there are enough big creatures to do well, thanks man

multicolored land like marsh flats and mesa in mono decks are quite stupid, there are for finding either one of a basic land in a multicolored deck, in case that you are running low on a specific land. in this deck, you are shuffling you're deck and paying 1 life for nothing. In my opinion, those should be normal plains.

quite, quite mistaken here my friend, they have more than one use.
here you draw one card, and have basically drawn two and that leaves more non-land cards left in the deck for you to pick up and use, tl;dr less land more bam normally i dont do this cuss i dont run enough lifegain, but thats obviously covered here.

Use brave the elements for assured breakthrough to ur opponents. Use basilisk collar? Since it fits ur lifegain genre and benefits from sun titan altogether?
