Abzan Lifegain (Standard MTG Deck)

So this is a midrange deck that wishes to just keep trading damage until it wins. It stays alive by massive amounts of lifegain. With the pridemate/courser combination of +1+1 counters I can have a lot of removal with retribution of the ancients.

Any thoughts or any better cards would be nice, and is what I am really looking for.

Edit

I have removed a few cards, and moved a few in. I found that most of the sideboard was not very efficient. Also, I found that in the late game, I had nothing to do. I either ran out of cards to play and was topdecking with no outs, or I was playing with no outs with cards in my hand. This was on multiple match-ups. Though I will say, when I won, I won big.

I think I need to have more consistent removal in the main board, and have answers to decks with kill spells in the board. Having a 30/30 pridemate is great until he get's downfalled....

If you guys have any other thought's you would like to add in, I am all ears.
