 This is my first deck I am posting. As I am new to MTG, any help is appreciated.  I prefer to keep this deck mono-white but I am also interested in some of the Green and Black capabilities.  and I really like the idea of adding +1/+1 counters and Lifelink, so I feel this is a good start for me.  In terms of land, ideally, I would start with basic Plains for lands (for speed), then use the 3x Scoured Barrens [KTK] and 3x Blossoming Sands [KTK] to gain counters once Archangel of Thune hits the table. As for creatures, I would prefer to start by getting out a Herald of Anafenza [KTK] or 2 being that they are my only 1 mana creature (IDC if I need to use them to chump block because their outlast will only be done later if I have excess mana on a turn).  Second comes something from the outlast cards I have in here Abzan Battle Priest

 + 


Abzan Falconer

 + 


Ainok Bond-Kin
. Abzan Battle Priest is crucial to this deck. The ability where everything with a +1/+1 counter is where I want this deck to sit.  If I can get these things built up with first strike, beautiful.  If they cant block and kill any of my lower P/T creatures because mine have flying, even better.  Note: If I am playing a green deck I am going to be weary of using the Abzan Falconers because my first deck was a Abzan WGB deck I got ROCKED with a Windstorm (I know other color have the ability to cause similar damage, but this will be with me for a while I bet) Paragon of New Dawns (PoND) is a major help. Giving all creatures what ever abilities are applied from the falconers, battle priests and bond-kin the second they hit the table is AMAZING. Next is the crown jewel of the deck: Archangel of Thune. Even just one of these are going to speed up my counters for sure.  This plus PoND and battle preist is something I really like.  And if I can get a second Thune out there.....MWAHAHAHAHA. In terms of instants, I had to add Feat of Resistance to hopfully deal with removal of the angel, or maybe a if they go after my only battle preist or PoND or such (or that much fear windstorm I could save maybe 1 or 2 creatures depending on how many I have. That all in the description for now.  I am sure I have atleast some shortcomings and oversights, but if you could give me an idea of how to overcome said defect when exposing it, I would greatly appreciate it.
