This is my current Lifegain deck and the first deck I have ever owned. I just recently got into Magic and I'm looking for constructive criticism.
Basically the deck revolves around the soul sisters (soul's attendant and soul warden) for life gain. Their lifegain ideally helps build up Ajani's pridemate with +1/1 counters every time anyone plays a creature. This can get massive really quick if I have Ajani's pridemate and 3+ soul sisters when I play a card like spectral procession which essentially makes three creatures enter the battlefield and activate lifegain. Similar but slower process with the squadron hawks. Getting soul sisters on the field get a lot easier if I can play a ranger of eos. Should my soul sisters be killed, there are several ways to bring them back from the graveyard. one method is using sun titans. Another is using Emeria, the sky ruin, if I happen to have seven plains on the battlefield already but that is a rare event. Angelic overseer was an afterthought I threw in the deck just because it was a cheap indestructible hexproof for my deck. It doesn't get used too often, but when it works out it is very useful.
An entirely different method is to generate as many tokens as possible with elspeth, angelic accord, and spectral procession, and creating indestructible creatures, before bord-wiping with elspeth. this would leave other players with empty boards and mine would be untouched for the most part leaving me able to swing out.
If played right, this deck can get past life totals of 250+, which is when Aether Flux reservoir would come into play. once high lifegain and Aether Flux have come into play, it is very difficult to deal with without a deflection palm type spell or a riot control type instant.
Those are my strategies and thoughts, looking for improvements and suggestions of any kind. What do you think?
