While I do agree with some of these changes, my budget makes it hard to grab Thoughtseize and more Hero's Downfall, same with the Sorin.

Also, Soulmender has also won me some games. This is due to the fact that people tend to dismiss the card until later in the game when suddenly there is a 20/20 cat on the field, all thanks to 2 soulmenders for a few turns. Its also a good turn 1 card that helps sets up the rest of the game.

I also agree with the Palace Siege and Eternal Thirst being removed, but at the moment I really don't know what to replace them with, I thing the palace siege would be best replaced with Archangel of Tithes, but that all depends on if I can get my hands on some. Do you have any suggestions for replacing the Eternal Thirst's though?

blood-cursed knight looks good in my perspective. (I don't think it can be tagged atm. It's in the origins spoilers if you were wondering.)

Also, no Sunbond? ;__;

Still, great deck! I have one on my profile if you want to check it out. It used to be amazing, I just think it needs some revival. All of your advice would be welcome.

waaaaaaaaaaait...I just checked your profile. Which version of this deck do you update? Or is it both?

Life Line <-- was my original, this was my second version after Khans/Fate --> Look At Your Life, Now Back At Me. [3/1 @ FNM!], and then this current one was further refined and now needs to be updated for Origins.

And I actually use to run Sunbond but I felt that it was slow and whenever I would equip it to one of my creatures, it would be hit by removal such as Hero's Downfall or other cards.

No Surge of Righteousness on the side? I feel like it would serve a better purpose than Foul-Tongue Invocation since I don't how you are going to gain the 4 life from it.

The Foul-Tongue Invocation serves as a way to get rid of Silumgar, the Drifting Death and other hexproof creatures. And at the moment I have Surge of Righteousness on my sideboard, but when Origin's comes out I am going to change my sideboard a bit, but I will definitely put in Celestial Flare.

Hey, why no Cleric of the Forward Order? It could take the place of Arashin Cleric, because overall it will net you more life and is a better aggro card.

It would gain me more life, but honestly, in retrospect, people will get rid of the Cleric of the Forward Order more often than not because they will kinda guess that you will play another one. Lets do some math though.

I have 3 Arashin Clerics

if I play each one I get 9 life total, and trigger

Ajani's Pridemate 3 times.

-Or-

I have 3 Forward Orders

I play 3 at different times, net gain of 6 life

I get 2 on the field, I gain 6 life

I get all 3 on the field, I gain 12 life

But for each instance I will only trigger Pridemate's ability 3 times total. Which is the whole point of having Arashin Cleric really.

So while gaining 12 life would be nice, it probably wont have a chance of happening since a 2/2 is susceptible to the same removal as a 1/3, and a 1/3 is just a better blocker which is what I use it for.

I like it, I did something similar to this, but I used Sorin, Solemn Visitor,Wall of Limbs, and Underworld Coinsmith. +1.

Actually, yeah I'm going to just flat out suggest you work a playset of Underworld Coinsmith in somewhere. You have 13 enablers for the Coinsmith, and a playset of him would be 17. Coinsmith seems perfect for what you want to do too, you could just pay all the extra life you have been gaining to seal up the game. It's almost like Extort.

Going to try 2 Underworld Coinsmiths in place of Eternal Thirst mainly because I feel eternal thirst doesn't seem to help me that much and I barely play it. I feel like every single game I sideboard it out.

Ever thought about Tainted Remedy?

try Sunbond to put more of a punch in your pridemates
