Ever wanted to win a lifeswing war against Slivers? Well now you can, using the badly named deck Blink and you'll miss it! (I had more blinks in it once). This deck functions simply by using the terrifying combo power of 12 copies of Soul's Attendant (Soul Warden, Essence Warden) and whatever creatures you and your opponents try to play to gain large amounts of life that directly scales with how creature based your opponent's deck is. Besides the terrifying power of Soul's Attendant, there are many lifegain synergies. Genesis Chamber immediatly doubles your lifegain whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield and provides you with chump blockers, although sadly it does the same for the opponent. Ajani's Pridemate is terrifying as each Soul's Attendant trigger counts separately for its ability. If you have three Soul Wardens out and a Genesis Chamber say this is an 8/8 for 2 and it only grows from there. Wall of Omens as another two drop provides a life trigger, a 0/4 body, and a drawn card, so I deem it worthy. In our three drop slot we have the two resplendent angels I pulled at my m19 prerelease (Otherwise too expensive for me) Which work perfectly here, since we have a good shot to be gaining six life a turn unless half of our souls attendants die, even off of one played creature a turn sometimes. Nissa is just fun because she provides lifegain triggers with her +1, makes more chump blockers, and her - can be used to pump tokens and attendants in a pinch, while her ult is great card draw if she gets to it. Mentor of the Meek is wonderful card draw since we have many low power creatures and it combos with Genesis chamber to allow for two possible triggers every time we cast a low power creature. Transmogrifying Wand is just funny removal, screws combo pieces, can be reused, creates more life for us, and in a pinch can be used to replace our tokens with decent blockers. 4-drops, Aetherflux Reservoir is nice to just pay 50 and win and it happens easily in this deck, Well of Lost dreams is even more hilarious card draw than Mentor of the Meek with a Genesis Camber considering our life gained per turn, and Ranger of Eos is our Attendant tutor. Lastly for wincons we have a Felidar Sovereign, good in a grindy matchup for their body and easy requirement of winning, at least for this deck. Land I'm a cheap bastard and don't like expensive duals or tap lands so mostly basic here. This deck is mostly white so as long as you have that the green'll come eventually and you don't need much. Recommendations welcome but remember I'm on a budget. No Serra Ascendents or anything more expensive than a few bucks

Thank you all
