So this deck is my first attempt at a strategy in Standard. It's my 1st deck, so it is riddle with issues. Also, it's budget, so keep that in mind if there are criticisms.

So essentially the goal with this deck, much like the older combos with Horizon Chimera is to attempt to pull life gain through draws, as well as use that life gain for counters via Sunbond. The other gimmick, using Prophet of Kruphix is to be able to keep what few counters I have on hand ready to use on the opponent's turn after using my mana on my turn to cast creatures.Kruphix, God of Horizons Can assist in this respect as well.

I'm not in love with everything really, as this is a first attempt. If anyone wants to help me get this mess more organized, it would be very much appreciated!**This is budget, but not super tight, I can spend a little money. I'm aware the mana base is a little restrictive here, but I may be able to acquire more fetch over time.

Thanks all!
