I was thinking of making a lifelink/lifegain deck to work with the Whip of Erebos and Archangel of Thune since each attacking creature will activate her ability. I am currently trying to balance the aggro and lifegain of the deck for if the match lasts long enough.

Here are some of the reasons behind my choices...

Archangel of Thune doesn't need much explanation. Gain life and your creatures get big. This gets better with the Whip of Erebos involved since each attacking creature activates her ability separately.

Once again, Baron of Vizkopa is a given. I currently only have one so unless something changes, that will be my current limit.

Erebos, God of the Dead because I am starting to REALLY hate Sphinx's Revelation in esper control decks. He will also give me a good card draw engine if I need it.

While Heliod, God of the Sun is not directly needed, he will be very useful against creature decks and can generate other tokens if need be.

The Obzedat, Ghost Council is another good card and is another activation source for Archangel of Thune. Overall he is a strong card, but I might want to drop him to 2 total.

Precinct Captain can generate more tokens for my to use and becomes especially powerful is they all get lifelink.

Soldier of the Pantheon will give some defensive measure along with a life gain source outside of notmal means.

Sin Collector gives me a free Duress along with being a creature.

Tithe Drinker seemed like a good 2 drop lifelink creature to both maintain my life and activate Archangel of Thune when she gets out.

And the debatable choice of Sanguine Bond over the guildmage. I thought this would be harder to remove and have no extra cost after I drop it on the field.
