So I built this deck because I wanted something that revolved around lifegain, but played more aggressively. With this set-up I'll be able to use the life I gain to draw into more resources, build up my side, and shoot down any threatening pieces.

The only obvious Win-Cons I have here are Debt to the Deathless , and Aetherflux Reservoir . This is mostly because I prefer to close games through damage. (Just personal preference). What I'm hoping for this deck is that it will be able to outvalue opposing decks through gradual lifegain, and hard-to-deal-with creatures.

Currently working on getting that curve down.

Suggestions are welcome!
