So the deck is pretty simple, it is a low cost life gain deck. The deck contains the largest staple of any mono white life gain deck Soul Warden. Soul Warden is great, it is a 1 cost 1/1 that forces you to gain a life every time another creature enters the battle field making it better than Soul's Attendant. The main combo of this deck is focused around Ajani's Pridemate + Soul Warden for each instance of life gain Ajani's Pridemate gets a +1/+1 counter, so if there is multiple Soul Warden cards in play then you are able to activate the ability per instance, which can buff Ajani's Pridemate. This leads to the ultimate goal of getting a fatty on the field and maintaining the presence. There is plenty of 1 and 2 drops so you can continuously drop to buff both your health and the Ajani's Pridemates on the field. Honor of the Pure is in the deck to give that little bit of an extra buff to your weaker creatures such as Squadron Hawk and Lone Missonaries. Those combined together will get you to the midgame allowing for time to get either Ajani Goldmane or the combo of Sun Titan + Transcendent Master . With Sun Titan + Transcendent Master you can use Sun Titan to bounce Transcendent back into the playing field assuming the other player has already used their removal on Ajani's Pridemates or the buffed Lone Missionary's. The deck also has some white removal included to protect you as much as possible so you can make it to the late game, I prefer Journey to Nowhere and Sunlance for white removal but there are other options.

The whole idea of this deck is to stay below the $45 mark (assuming the low price) and offer the ability for the player to be flexible. I will soon be adding Ajani, Mentor of Heroes to my collection for this deck hence why the Selesnya Guildgate 's are in the deck. I am considering removing the Pristine Talisman because I feel as though it plays slightly too slow for the benefit. So that's that.
