Deck Description

This deck is all about Crested Sunmare. Use Drana's Emissary and/or Nyx-Fleece Ram to gain life on your turn, and use the fliped side of Accursed Witch to gain life on your opponents turn, so that you get a 5/5 horse on both your opponents turn and yours. Use Ajani's Pridemate and/or Serene Steward to further capitalize on this life gain. Gifted Aetherborn can serve as a source of removal because of deathtouch. Armored Warhorse is, well, a horse. Thopter Arrest and Murder can also serve as removal. Diabolic Tutor can get you whatever you need. In the sideboard you have Felidar Sovereign in case you need an extra win condition. Sacred Cat has lifelink, and it's embalm cost is pretty cheap, so it's good for chump blocking. Nyx-Fleece Ram is just in case you need more life. Solemn Offering is if your opponent is artifact hefty. Surgical Extraction is if your opponent has a particularly annoying card that you don't want to face again. And murder is if your opponent has a lot of powerful creatures.

There's a bit to get you some more inspiration, hopefully. Ü
Also, you should check out cards with the "Extort" mechanic. That one's pretty good if you need a lot of small lifegain instances.

Cheers,
Morty

Sure, no problem. If you need any more help - I only gave some pointers after all -, feel free to ask again.
Have you had a chance to test the deck yet?

I did a bit of testing on untap, it did decent, not amazing, but not bad.
