Optimizing the Soul Sister formula for my metagame. Great Primer: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=517123

Minimal Package for SS: 4x Pridemate, 7xSisters (Soul, Soul's and Auriok), 4x Spectral Procession, 3x Ranger of Eos, 2x Honor of the Pure and 20 Lands. 40 CARDS, 20 left. Pridemate is your big beater. Sisters+Pridemate is your answer to Tarmogoyf and a basic combo that works very well in most matchups. He comes into play 3/3 on turn 2 more often then not. 7 Sisters is the bare minimum to gain enough life for serra and pridemate. You never have too many sisters. More sister helps a lot against aggro to keep you alive and against Splinter Twin and other combos that rely on many creatures. Spectral Procession is the best 3 drop hands down. It gives tons of triggers and flying reach. Ranger is needed in matchups were and explosive start is not enough and card advantage. Turns your 1 drop deck into something that doesn't stop. Can fetch want you need for the situation. Honor of the Pure makes Procession deadly and keeps your 1/1s rellevant late game.

Serra(4)+ Martyr(3)+Squadron Hawk(4) Package is 11 more cards, leaving only 9 cards left. Will win you games out of nowhere with a 6/6 lifelink flyer on turn 2. Hawk can give you much life late if the ideal sequence doesn't happen and is also a mini Procession. Running less then 4 just makes your deck thicker.

Lands: Flagstones is free deck thinning (esp. w/ M14 rules) Only 3 Hideaway lands because taplands are bad with that many 1 drops, you need the tempo. Ghost Quarters is extra usefull against Tron and can destroy shaky mana bases, especially with Mindcensor. Quarters can be cycled for free thinning with Flagstones. At 3, colorless is rarely a problem for Procession.

Updates Add

Updated Sideboard with the ban of Deathrite Shaman. More Rest in Peace, less Suppression Field. 4 Honor of the Pure because it is the glue that makes the deck work, turning your 7 turn clock procession into 4 turns.
