Deck Description

Attempts to continuously gain life, while overwhelming the opponent with pumped up creatures.

This is an attempt to build a standard deck around a combo of Ajani's Pridemate and Suture Priest. The primary idea is to have the Suture Priest and Soul Attendant up life and the Pridemate's */* through the benefit of the Hero of Bladehold's creature creation. The Knight Exemplar, Puresteel Paladin, and Stoneforge Mystic are around to help the Pridemates and Bladeholds stay alive.

I've been out of Magic since about mid-Mirage block, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Deck discussion for Ajani's Armory

I think sword of war and peace would be better than argentum armor, since you want to gain life to pump your pridemates.

I've been testing it against that Turn 2 Win infect deck that was linked to on the home page (I call it Infectious Weenies), and needed a way to destroy pesky permanents (which accounts for the condemns as well). The Pridemates seem to get pumped quickly enough through the attendants and priests. I'll give the sword of war and peace some trial runs though.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is there a option in this site to test run decks against each other for W-L ratios? Or do you know of such a site?

Have you tried running "elspeth tirel" instead of Ajani?

I gave it a couple runs. The planeswalker doesn't show up enough to make much of a difference. Elspeth makes sense when he does play, because with a Soul Attendant he can give the Pridesmates +2 everyturn, but Ajani is nice to have around because he can give all the soldier tokens a +1/+1 boost or produce the */* avatar.

Ultimately, like the Felidar Sovereign, the planeswalker is around to offer an alternate win condition, which both Elspeth and Ajani seem able to do.

I haven't tried Elspeth. I'll give it a run.

I'm still trying to tinker with the deck to make it less vulnerable to infect.

Upping the Condemn to four and adding four Vapor Snag seemed to do the trick. The deck is beating an aggro-infect and that "little chocolate donuts" deck at a seventy-five percent clip when I play them solitaire. It's a fun deck to play, especially when you have a 20/20 Ajani's Pridemate holding a Sword of Vengeance and leading the charge.
