Currently loving this build. Many people are using these low level life gainers as support for something stronger so they are often overlooked for early game removal in the Meta. This deck maximizes the individual life gain opportunities to maximize the opportunities for triggered damage. When your opponent is at 8 and you're at 35 and they have no life gain or mass removal in their deck, they usually scoop.
I have used Scute Swarm as well in this deck but found it only situationally helpful and I prefer the versatility of the Felidar Retreat.

Trelasarra, Moon Dancer helps you scry for the damage dealers (8 in total) and Cleric Class helps you get them out of your graveyard later for that unexpected win.

Impassioned Orator is still legal in arena Standard due to it being a staple card for the game. So I switched it for Tend the Pests and Cleric of Life's Bondfor playtesting purposes here.

This deck took me all the way to Diamond 4. Unfortunately removal heavy decks seem to dominate the diamond tier so far. Stay tuned for my diamond tier level deck build.
