Introduction

This is a Modern deck made to stall your opponents attacks for quite a while (everything except mill because I couldn't find a place in the deck for counters). Your objective is to prevent any damage that the enemy tries to deal until you can transform your Chalice of Life   this is your main win condition because it is is quite easy to transform with Dawnglow Infusion and can make you gain quite a lot of life to counteract the damage you may have taken while setting up your walls. Sunbond has been added to the Maybeboard to be swapped with any of the Eldrazi, this works being equiped on any wall but especially works on wall of essence which will gane +1/+1 for each all health gained which will allow it to block more to gain more life and buff itself more.

How to use

If you think that Chalice of Life   is not a reasonable win condition, then you have Assault Formation to make your defenders attack and some of the walls like Axebane Guardian, Overgrown Battlement and Wall of Roots to produce mana to buff your walls too using Assault Formation's second ability or play some big Eldrazi.

A little extra help

A helping hand if they have more creatures than you have walls then Chalice of Life  , Wall of Essence, Perimeter Captain or Dawnglow Infusion will make your effort to transform the chalice much quicker due to the life gain from their creatures. If willing to spend the little extra (little being half the price of the whole deck) then Alhammarret's Archive doubles the gained health and drawn cards. Using both green and white with Dawnglow Infusion while Alhammarret's Archive is on the board will essentially quadruple the x health gain on the dawnglow.

Thanks

Thanks to smack80's suggestion to replace blue with green, now there is another win condition (if they have artifact removal or you just can't draw the chalice) You can also use Assault Formation with your walls for some damage too. Also thanks to squidskillzzz for the inspiration to make this deck with some heavy modifications.
