Another spin on a lifegain/midrange-ish deck.

Keep gaining life with gain lands, Nyx-Fleece, Seeker, Sunbond. Buff up Pridemate and the Wall. Swing for lots or sac for lots.

That doesn't work? Siege Rhino should take care of it.

Dude's in danger? Gods Willing, Feat of Resistance should give 'em a hand. I'm always looking for suggestions and pointers!

Don't forget adding my counters, Hardened Scales! You too, Ordeal!

Plus, the Charm & Banishing Light gives me options in case things get in my way or I don't have what I want. Nice!

Sideboard:Wall of Limbs not doing well enough? Take him, the Sands, and the Ordeals out, bring in those Seekers and Defiant Strikes.

Enchantments bothersome? Erase!

Too many weenies? Bring in some more Walls and gain life while you're at it!

Are they running a bunch of walls? Surprise them by doubling your counters with Solidarity!

Just feel like you need a board reset? When things are too hostile, you should end them. 'Nuff said.
