Solid deck for this budget! I think full 8 soul sisters and 4 path to bravery would be beneficial. You could cut soulmenders and mantra

Thanks! My desire is to transform this deck into a real modern Soul Sisters in a future far far away. I'll buy it slowly. haha

What do you think about me adding 1x True Conviction and 4x Spectral Procession to this deck?

True conviction has high mana cost, i dont think it is necessary. You could think about 1 baneslayer angel, or archangel of thune to top your curve.
Spectral procession is a good card, but soul sisters dont play it, so you wont need it later on i guess. Also i would not know what to cut for it. Better invest in soul sisters first.
It looks sweet just like it is. Go playtest and then decide

I'm going to test with this version and then I see if there is any need to modify something. Thanks again! \o

Please consider Lone Rider, Perimeter Captain and Pride Guardian. They are budget and surprisingly handy.

As a budget alternate to the soul sisters (and a great card to boot) may I recommend Suture Priest. A playset is less than $2 and they really are an excellent card. Also I would recommend going for Soul Warden over Souls Attendant first as they are literally half the cost ($3.50 ish for a playset instead of $7).

Other thoughts include Maybe throwing in 2 Aetherflux reservoirs. They are about 90c each last I looked and they have solid life gain and an alternate win condition built in.

A card which pairs well with both of those could be Whitemane Lion. (15c) It can be flashed in to save a creature of value of yours in a pinch but it's true strength comes from that fact that it can return itself. If you have six mana open then you can play it three times which will activate your triggers three times.

For inspiration /comparison here is my budget R/W Souls Sisters deck:

Enjoy your deck!

Cheers!

First, thanks for the tips. I will provide Suture Priest soon as I can. Aetherflux is a very good win condition, I'll think about it. Also your RW Soul Sister is amazing! Very creative. Congratulations!

You pretty much need all 8 sisters IMO.
Healer of the Pride is a bad card. More often then not you're gonna play this investing 4 mana then your opponent will bolt it, path it or push it for one mana. It doesn't do anything when it enters unlike a card like Ranger of Eos. which would be great card for this build. It's only 2$ now for the MM version that was just reprinted. Healer of the Pride should be your first cut for the addition of the missing sisters.
Divine Favour is also a bad idea. Auras in general end up being a horrible play because you are setting yourself up for getting 2 for 1'd. After that I think the main thing you need is a bit of removal. Condemn is a decent budget alternative to Path to Exile (Wrecks Death Shadow decks).
I assume the long term goal is to acquire the play set of Serra Ascendant's which are Not Budget friendly.
Just my opinions, take it for that. Happy Casting.

I think it is a pretty fun casual deck at the moment, that does not intend to play against bolts, paths, pushes or death shadows.
But sure you are right, healer is bad compared to soul sisters.
Divine favour is sweet on goldenglow moth, making it an annoying blocker. Flavour points for that!

True on the flavor but it's still a bad idea from the competitive perspective.
I was commenting with the idea Kellger wanted to eventually turn this into a competitive modern build. According to his (assuming gender lol) comment above. Where he will no doubt face all above mentioned removals.
I will admit that I am a competitive player and it comes out in most of my comments.

So am i, full understanding for it.
Never got my soul sisters deck to a competitive level, but still love to play it casually.
Today im neither playing the moth nor the favour anymore xD

Hey Maniac, thanks for the tips. But it is like Splinter said, this is a forfun deck for now. In a future far far away I will transform it in a true Soul Sisters deck. But when I get the set of Suture Priest, I will change it for the Healer of the Pride, believe me. I dream about the day I will have a full set of Serra Ascendant. i.i

By the way, I intend to play against more than one opponent with this deck, which is why I put Angelic Accord on him. I really like to create tokens, is one of my favorite mechanics of Magic and I think it works well on multiplayers games.

Also I am thinking about change Divine Favour for a set of another creature that will synergyze with this deck, maybe Lone Rider, Lone Missionary ou Perimeter Captain. Probably Lone Missionary, because it triggers Angelic Accord.

The problem I see with this deck is that it has no win condition.
Lifegain does not win you the game, and your only strong cards are Ajani's Pridemate and Angelic Accord.
If you drop the 2 Healer of the Pride. 4 Soulmender, 4 Divine Favor, 4 Goldenglow Moth and add 1 Soul Warden, 3 souls Attendant, 3 Felidar Sovereign, 3 Aetherflux Reservoir and 2 extra land your deck will get some extra win conditions.

Yeah! This is worrying but I am working on it. I will buy Aetherflux e try it to see how it goes. I personally don't like Felidar and others cards with "win the game" text. But I am grateful for your tips, for sure!

Whispersilk Cloak, attached to your beaters to help protect them and get damage through could be interesting.
