I never tried any variation of BW ally lifegain before Gatewatch, and I'm somewhat inexperienced at Magic. I think this deck is fairly self-explanatory: use allies to Kalastria Healer, drain with Drana's Chosen and Zulaport Cuthroat, use lifegain to trigger other abilities.

Like I said, I've never attempted this type of deck so any advise from those who have is appreciated. I feel like I may be trying to do too many things at once with this one; I'm specifically thinking of cutting Lantern Scout and Bloodbond Vampire for Expedition Envoy s.

I'll likely be updating this later.
