Nice deck, I have a similar one, care to check it out: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=160308 I think mine may have a few cards to inspire you (it's 60 cards, and uses cards that are playable in standard and extended too). Have you considered ajani's pridemate? they can get pretty huge if you play a deck like this, also, wurm's tooth and golem's heart are good side board cards. Also I wouldn't be afraid to play more kabira crossroads, and some graypelt refuge too :) Anyway, hope you can find the time to check out my deck too.
Sorry, another thing to note is that using elspeth's first ability ajani's pridemate will gain the +1/+1 token for every attendant/warden that's out, rather than a single +1/+1 from Ajani.
Nah, elspeth works better from testing. With her first ability I tend to gain more than ajani's 2 life (by the time she's on the field there are usually a few wardens/attendants in play) and her second ability is really useful for getting directly at a players life points with the flying. I doubt I'll use her -8 ever, but her other two abilities more than make up for it... In my eyes anyway.
I considered the sovereign, but the way that this deck plays is very rapid. I'm not sure it's needed, at the point I am at 40 life total there's very little chance of the deck losing, and I'd be surprised if I ever got to that point without the game ending anyway. Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll do some more testing with these cards included.
