Deck Description

Muwahahaha ... lifegain for the win!

How to Play

Archangel of Thune and Ajani's Pridemide grow fearsome with all the life gain flying around ... as do Angelic Accord and Serra Ascendant.

Make sure to bring a pencil and paper to keep track of your life total and a Battleship game's worth of tokens (no, I am not joking).

Deck discussion for Angelic Assault

Ahem ... Archangel of Thune! Why didn't you suggest THAT guy for my Life is Life deck!? ;) That guy is awesome - not only does he combo with basically my entire deck, he also has flying!

Okay, about *this* deck ...

* You run zero removal. I don't know about the decks you are playing against but in my playgroup you would run into problems. Every deck has some nasty things going on, many of them basing on artifacts or enchantments, and if you aren't able to remove those, having tons of life won't help much, it will only prolong your suffering. I strongly recommend to swap Rest of the Weary for Solemn Offering.

* I would upgrade Soulmender to one of the following:
- Ghost-Lit Redeemer
- Oracle of Nectars
- Jasmine Seer

* Consider Auspicious Ancestor instead of the Staffs. You won't gain life for Plains anymore but those 3 life when he dies should make up for it and he can attack/block. Also, if you remove the Staffs, your opponent's artifact removal will have no targets.

* There is room for improvement regarding non-basic lands. I would at least consider Secluded Steppe.

I didn't suggest the archangel because it costs a mint. :)

Added in some removal in place of recumbent bliss and the staff. How does it feel now?

I'd rather keep the bliss and ditch the Rest for the Weary. Other than that, looks better now.
