Deck Description

Another deck by me built around Ajani's Pridemate and lifegain.

Value 2-drop creatures with removal and support spells

Any suggestions?

Key interactions are:
Ajani's Pridemate + Nyx-Fleece ram = Ajani's Pridemate gets +1/+1 counter every turn
Ajani's Pridemate + Sungrace Pegasus = sungrace attacks and lifelinks 1, Pridemate gets another counter
Ajani's Pridemate + Gift of Orzhova = pridemate gets bigger, flying, and lifelink -> gets bigger every turn
Ajani's Pridemate + Vizkopa Guildmage = can give pridemate lifelink
Vizkopa Guildmage + any lifegain -> can turn the lifegain into a drain (sheep, lifelink blockers/attackers)
Sunbond + lifegain = gives any creature Ajani's Pridemate's passive but better. with a lifelinker, it doubles in power every turn

all creatures + brave the elements = unblockable, prevent damage, etc


Current Main Considerations:
Save Creatures
Ajani's Presence & Gods Willing - 1 drop save creatures - competes with Brave the elements... sorta... would side in more vs control and black based decks

Removal:
Doom Blade, Silence the Believers, Orzhov charm, devouring light - removal. not sure how much to put in main/sideboard - would side in more vs creature based aggro and midrange

Creatures:
Brimaz - don't own any, and are expensive. might be worth, but doesnt synergize with return to the ranks
Tithe Drinker - seems ok with lifelink and extort. Otherwise doesnt have much of an impact
FiendSlayer Paladin - similar to brimaz but has more synergy.
Soulmender - 1 drop with synergy with pridemate. Otherwise very little impact
Dawn bringer Charioteers - 4 drop. may have a place. may be able to win a game with him simply attacking as a 2/4 flying lifelink
Blood baron - same as Fiend Slayer Paladin
Obzedat - same as Fiend Slayer
Soldier of the Pantheon - great creature and slightly synergizes with pridemate.

Ajani Steadfast - nice, if/when i pull one ill put him in.

How to Play

Fairly aggressive build with tons of 2 drops.
Play all the creatures and enchantments.
Use Brave the Elements to save your guys from removal or as a late game alpha strike
Return to the ranks can help you recover from a supreme verdict.

Sadly Exquisite Blood isn't in Standard. Vizkopa guild mage has sanguine bond as his second ability already.

Yeah, they are M15. I should have put standard tag in; thought once they added all the M15 cards, the legality thing would be updated, but i guess that will happen next week
