MTGA at it's finest but I want to get this shaped up for Bo3 Formats.

The general idea is to just protect your board and your life total until you can smash your opponent out of the game or Teferi ult.

Main combo in the deck though is Dawn of Hope + Ajani's Welcome. With these two cards out you have some way to produce a board, gain life and draw a card for +. Pretty hefty price, but I've found that it's almost unstoppable unless you've had bad draws.

Ajani's Pridemate or Resplendent Angel + Ajani's Welcome is pretty self explanatory. Make dudes, get life. Dudes get bigger and more of them.

Your control magic is Essence Scatter, Sinister Sabotage, Syncopate and Negate.

Settle the Wreckage is our go to board wipe because phoenix exists as well as Golgari match up.

Blink of an Eye to help when you're behind for tempo plays or to protect your stuff.

So far the deck has been doing well in lower ranks, but I feel that there is room for improvement.

Please comment suggestions and give a +1 if you enjoy the concept!
