I don't know how I'll make this work but I like Daxos of Meletis alot and know he needs some protection to get where he needs to be. Gates are just the first method I want to try since I also liked gates but couldn't get them to work but now I can steal my opponents creatures and other spells and use them against them then maybe this could work.

First step is to slow your opponents down since so many of your lands will come into play tapped. Blind Obedience is the easiest way to do this but we also have Soul Tithe to aid in this endeavor. Later we will throw down Sphere of Safety and that should slow them down considerably.

The win condition here can be fairly slow but more then likely you'll be able to use one of their own ideas against them. You also have plenty of ways to take life incrementally and gain life if you took a few hits early on.

Totally revised. Got rid of the Sphere of Safety and Blind Obedience and instead force players to deal with deathtouch or lifelink enchantment creatures using Ethereal Armor with Baleful Eidolon or Hopeful Eidolon this can be anything from a turn 2 3/3 lifelinker to a turn 3 3/3 deathtoucher or if I had two etheral armor's or more hopeful eidolons for turn 3 to pump the effects, even greater. This seems to be able to get me to the Hold the Gates and the real killers of this deck like Treasury Thrull or Daxos of Meletis

Perfect fast hand:

Turn 1: Plains, Hopeful Eidolon

Turn 2: Orzhov Guildgate, Ethereal Armor, attack for 3 lifelink and first strike

Turn 3: Swamp, Ethereal Armor on Hopeful Eidolon, another Hopeful Eidolon or Baleful Eidolon, attack for 9 lifelink and first strike

Turn 4: Island, Hold the Gates, Hopeful Eidolon, attack for 14 lifelink and one of them (the 13/14) with first strike and now vigilance which gives you blockers for next turn if there is a next turn.

Most times the deck will probably need be more reserved but there is a good chance you can at least threaten the player with an eidolon and ethereal in the early game. They'll have to at least play at a slower tempo themselves. If they waste all their board wipes on this early stuff then the later stuff will be that much harder for them to deal with. You've also probably gained somewhere between 5 - 10 life by this time and can probably take a hit or two.

The protection for Daxos of Meletis and Treasury Thrull includes Hold the Gates, Gift of Immortality, and Brave the Elements

This is a combo deck but it's one that constantly keeps your opponents guessing. The side deck is also multifunction and can deal with most eventualities.
