Thanks for the feedback micah1 and Fatboy26105. I really like Sunbond and Martyr of Sands. I would add Serra Ascendant, but it's too expensive. I also already have a few Ajani's Pridemate's and I use Suture Priest instead of Soul Warden. Thanks!

I would have some interaction w/ the opponent. Counterspells, removal, and especially Erebos/Rain of Gore/Similar will be tough for this deck.

Thanks for the feedback Wic_Uber. Do you have any suggestions on specific cards to add?

There is always Mana Tithe, although that is often ineffective. Sideboard some enchantment destruction and Path to Exile. I honestly am not familiar with lifegain and often playing only white can be tough because it is not the most reactive color. However I do like the deck, +1.

You do need enough win conditions to top a few removal spells/wipes/path to exile/edicts.

Thanks for the feedback micah1 and Wic_Uber. I added a sideboard to try to fix some of the problems. Tell me what you think.

Nice job. If they have counterspells however one or two Mana Tithe is a good way because Stave Off, etc. will not be able to protect creatures being cast. Its always good to have a sideboard, nice job again.

Your entire sideboard is bad. You need Kataki, War's Wage, Gods Willing is better than stave off, Mark of Asylum, Leyline of Sanctity, Rest in Peace, Stony Silence, Aven Mindcensor, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Blind Obedience, Vizkopa Guildmage if you splash black, and some Path to Exile in the Mainboard.

Thanks for the feedback Wic_Uber and micah1. I like the cards your suggesting, but Leyline of Sanctity, Rest in Peace, Stony Silence, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Aven Mindcensor, and Path to Exile are too expensive for this deck.

Leyline is 20 bucks, but Stony Silence is 1 dollar, aven mindcensor is 9, Thalia is 2, Path is 5, and Rest in peace is a dollar. Disenchant is bad because pod is gone, and anything else you would rather have either an enchantment wipe or stony silence/kataki.

Thanks GuhDalPai I really appreciate the feedback. I took out Congregate, Staff of the Sun Magus, and Whispersilk Cloak. I added Cathedral Sanctifier, Lone Missionary, and Chalice of Life  Flip. I kept Kemba's Skyguard because it's a quickish flying defense. If I didn't have it the only flying blocker I would have is Wall of Reverence, who takes a little to play. I also kept Divinity of Pride because he's a win condition.

GuhDalPai do you think I should use Oracle of Nectars or Martyr of Sands because my budget only really fits one.

GuhDalPai says... #16

Martyr of Sands

If you liked the Chalice of Life  Flip, maybe you should try splash black to use Exquisite Blood, Vizkopa Guildmage and Sanguine Bond...but this would slow the deck

Gift of Orzhova for the Ajani's Pridemate

I believe Bonds of Faith is a direct upgrade over Pacifism. You can use it to pump up one of your creatures or shut down an enemy creature.

Gift of Orzhova is a great card, giving something Flying will make it hard to block and will trigger the Lifelink more easily.

Celestial Mantle would be hilarious, though it might not fit too well in this kind of deck.

Either way, +1 from me, I really like this deck!

Thanks for the feedback Hydrax. I added Bonds of Faith over Pacifism. I used to have Celestial Mantle, but it was too slow.

you may want to use Resplendent Mentor. When it is about to be you turn, just gain a lot of life, and then untap.

mrweaselman says... #21

Thanks Entari0 I just added 2 Resplendent Mentor

Have you tried Angelic Accord? On top of the life gain, you get 4/4 angel tokens.

Thanks for the suggestion KillerKorpse99. I have tried using it and it didn't fit in very well. The angel tokens just didn't seem to work.

How has this done at FNM? Or did you not take it. Just curious..

+1 for the fact that Chalice of Life  Flip is OP. I play tested this against my Discard Control - Under heavy construction and lost every time to Chalice of Life  Flip
