My first attempt at brewing for Canadian Highlander. The goal is to play cheap/efficient creatures and token generators, which in turn generate lifegain, which in turn enables some big payoffs.

Main questions:

• Any obvious inclusions I'm missing?
• Anything I've included that has a strictly better option?
• Is this the right way to build this archetype? Do I have the right balance of lifegain/tokens/payoffs?
• Do I have enough ramp and card advantage? Do I have the right kinds of ramp and card advantage?
• I'm only using 8 points. Should I get 2 more points? If so, what? I'm considering Survival of the Fittest, and then making sure I have utility creatures to tutor for, especially ones that help me draw cards.
• Is this archetype even viable at all? The fact that there aren't any Soul Sisters decks in the Canadian Highlander Database worries me.

Some notes and constraints:

• I won't be buying Moxen, Black Lotus, or OG duals. But I'll add them to the Maybeboard if they are appropriate for the deck.
• I am well aware that Commander and Canadian Highlander are very different formats, and what is optimal for one is not optimal for the other. Nevertheless, I have played the deck in Commander using Anafenza as the commander, and it worked out okay.

Considering changes:

• Ranger of Eos doesn't seem to do enough for a 4 drop. It has targets, but they are generally not good when you are behind.
• Probably too many token makers, not enough card draw / card advantage.
• Only 5 "soul sisters" that trigger off my tokens coming into play. Probably should add a few more.
