As the name suggests, this is a life gain centered deck. However, it is not merely life gain as an end in and of itself, but life gain that does work for you. This deck is constructed to be viable post rotation, and the main win-cons are vizkopa guildmage, sanguine bond, and voracious wurm coupled with life gain. Most life gain comes from alive/well and ready/willing paired with a high creature count from trostani's summoner. Blind obedience and hold the gates help to slow down play. Comments and +1 appreciated.
