I've seen a couple of Archangel Lifegain decks around (mostly only WB) so I decided to make my own take on it, including green as well to access Scavenging Ooze, Avacyn's Pilgrim and Centaur Healer mainly.

The main aim is to keep my life total above 20 for Path of Bravery and to use Path of Bravery to power up my tokens and hit hard and then destroy the opponent when I get Archangel of Thune online.

I'm hoping this deck will be a lot of fun to play and it should be very different from the Esper Absolute Control FNM deck I normally play.

This deck will suffer greatly from losing Lingering Souls and Avacyn's Pilgrim when Standard rotates. I guess I'll see if it's still viable.

I'm still trading for some of the pieces of this deck so my playtests with it won't be at full power but once I do get the pieces, I'll start trying this deck at FNMs and such and will post results.

All feedback is appreciated!
