Originally titled The Gain Train, this deck started as a shenanigans life gain build centered around winning with Felidar Sovereign, Test of Endurance, and Aetherflux Reservoir.

Over time, it shifted into more of control build. I still prefer running Atalya, Samite Master over someone like Linvala, Keeper of Silence as a mana-sink and a less inherently threatening general.
