In this deck you're able to gain an large amounts of life and use it as a resource.

There's a couple win conditions that use your life to win in different ways. Felidar Sovereign is an early way to win if left unchecked. If the combo of Aetherflux Reservoir + Alhammarret's Archive can be made, you can easily take out multiple opponents in one turn. Cards like Storm Herd and Serra Avatar are meant to get absolutely huge off your life. If all else fails, you can beat people down with them.

This deck also has ways of locking down your opponents with lots of containment and pillow fort cards. Deadeye Navigator can set up Azor, the Lawbringer to stop instant and sorcery cards from being cast turn after turn. Cards like Propaganda and Ghostly Prison discourage opponents from attacking you.

The Planeswalkers in the deck are there as a form of lifegain and support. Venser, the Sojourner can be used as a light win condition, making your creatures unblockable. He can also be used to abuse enter the battlefield effects.

This can be a pretty versatile deck that I've had pretty good success with in casual play. I haven't had a chance to try it in a competitive setting though.

Let me know what you think and any suggestions that could be added!
