Chalice of Life/Death? just for a bit of extra life and a good wincon

Ok. I've spent the better part of an hour on this and here's what I came up with. I created a copy of what I reccommend as one of my decks if you wanna playtest it first:

First, you need to get it down to 60 so: -1xElixir of Immortality, -1xVenser's Journal, -1xAngel's Feather.

Then, we start making trades. Your mana curve is WAY high so we need to bring it down a bit. It'll take longer than you might think to get some of those 6 mana cost cards out and you end up just getting stuck with them in your hand more than you get to play them. So even though they have cool abilities: -2xVictory's Herald, -2xArchon of Redemption, +4xSerra Ascendant. This adds another 1-drop to your creatures, and it's amazing!

Then make your other 1-drop more consistent by: -2xGoldenglow Moth, +2xMartyr of Sands (for a total of 4)

Now we need to make your 2- and 3-drops more consistent. For this I went with "practical protection" because I figured once you get all that life, you need to defend it so: -4xSquadron Hawk, +2xAjani's Pridemate (total of 4), +2xKemba's Skyguard (total of 4)

Along with the "practical protection" idea, you need to make your enchant buffs more consistent as well. I took away (just a couple) REALLY expensive buffs and left you with something a tad cheaper, yet still rather expensive. However I think this will pay off. Feel free to disagree: -1xBoon Reflection, -1xCelestial Mantle, -1xLuminous Wake, +2xArmored Ascension (total of 4), +1True Conviction (total of 2)

Through playtesting with this, I have found that you got some neat combos still. Yet at the same time it lowers your mana curve, and increases your consistency. Feel free to adjust any of these changes to your liking!

-Phat-

I forgot one other change I made. Though there's a chance to gain a little less life, you can gain creature/enchantment control by: -2xRest for the Weary, +2xSolemn Offering (for a total of 4).

You can always sideboard 4xRest for the Weary to trade if you know ahead of time that enchantments/artifacts aren't going to be a problem.

I agree one hundred million percent with everything Phat_Shadow said. Excellent advice, dude!

P.S. Actually, would you mind looking at my Pod Of Undeath deck?

This deck is ballin' bro...but there is one card that will stop everything to a grinding halt.

Behold... Leyline of Punishment

You might want to pack more Solemn Offering if you want to have a chance.

I need to play this with my Elementals again and see how it performs against burn...Stigma Lasher in particular

Rhox Faithmender comes to mind. Divinity of Pride wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Also, I'd replace replace 2x Archon of Redemption with 2x Wall of Reverence imo.

I think the mana curve is to hight. To get it faster:

Swap 1 Archon of Redemption for 1 card:Kemba's SkyguardSwap all Squadron Hawk for Soul Warden Swap all Boon Reflection for card:Ajani's Mantra

20 lands

Plus 2 Pride Guardian Plus 2 Goldenglow Moth

No Divinity of Pride ?

is this supposed to be competitive or casual?

casual, why?

okay because there is a competitive deck called "soul sisters" and if you wanted to make it competitive i would suggest taking a look at some lists

I would add Heroes Remembered , I think that it would be a great idea.

Hey I like your deck it has some good fundamentals but I would swap your squadron hawks for soul's attendant/warden or cathedral sanctifier for your one drops as they have better synenergy with your deck. Feel free to check out mine for some ideas Life Gain I'm still missing a couple of cards 2x felidar sovereign and 2x Serra ascendant, 1 rox, 3 emeria and 2 Norns annex, but I can still easily get my life total into the 100's in my ast fnm I got over 12,000 life and got felidar sovereign out for game

Okay linked to the wrong deck so just check out my profile if your interested.

Rhox Faithmender is Boon Reflection on a 1/5 body with lifelink!! CHEAPER mana cost as well!!

I believe Purity could find a place in this deck

You should probably put Rhox Faithmender into your deck.

TOTALLY EPIC i want it.

you should run congregate to angel's mercy. yes angel's mercy is gurenteed life, but chances are you will get more then 8 life with congregate 90% of the time

You should take some stuff out and make room for God-Favored General and Ephara's Radiance So you can enchant god-favored general wth Ephara's Radiance and pay 2 and tap general and gain 3 life and at your next upkeep you can pay 3 and generate 2 white 1/1 soldiers with his inspired ability and repeat!

I would put Archangel of Thune in there

a deck that has only 3x Squadron Hawk ? There is a disturbance in the force. . .

I would put +1 Serra Ascendant and -1 Felidar Sovereign . Also consider +1 Soul Warden and -1 Rhox Faithmender .
