Modification of the incredible Ayli deck built by my (genius) Sire, which was a black/white combo lifegain ddeck. I'm modifying it to have 2 distinct decks: one focused on creatures (i.e. Archangel of Thune, Sun Titan), one focused on combos. This list is currently a prototype list of cards that I'm considering in either deck.
