Classic Soul Sisters with a twist

"Count carefully the souls and see that none are lost" - Voc Teaching

Why play this version of Soul Sisters?

Soul sisters is one of my favorite decks. It was the first 'real' modern deck I ever brought to an FNM. Over the years I have played many different versions of this deck including heliod sisters, orzhov sisters and selensya sisters. This version is a mix of one of the best decks in the meta (Boros Energy), with soul sisters. Appart from the classic Soul Sisters package, this deck benefits greatly from the new tools from Modern Horizons.

Soul's Attendant/Soul Warden: These handy creatures are what the deck is named after. By gaining 1 life whenever any creature (yours or your opponents) enters the battlefield, they enable many synergies within the deck.

Guide of Souls: Another soul sister. This one does not gain life on our opponents creatures, but does make energy and functions as an additional win-con.

Martyr of Sands: This card is included as a 1 of. It can allow for an explosive start in combination with Serra Ascendant, but it is mainly here to be fetched with Ranger-Captain of Eos as a source of emergency life gain.

Other options: Auriok Champion: Another Soul Sister with protection from black and red for 2 white. Whilst not all Soul Sister variants run a full playset of this card, it is extremely good as it dodges a lot of the removal in modern right now.

Voice of the Blessed: Our Tarmogoyf. This powercrept version of Ajani's Pridemate is a powerhouse. Turn 1 sister into turn 2 voice of the blessed is the ideal play. Has evasion and if it becomes a 10/10 it also gets indestructable.

Essence Channeler: This is our Ajani's Pridemate 5-8. Easy enough to trigger its first ability due to the availabilty of fetch lands. If it dies, it gives additional value by giving its counters to another creature.

Ocelot Pride: This card is insane! It creates a lot of tokens within the blink of an eye if left unchecked. With the sisters package you can consistently proc his ability. Also has lifelink, which can not only enable itself but also grow our pridemates.

Serra Ascendant: Can be fetched with Ranger-Captain of Eos when above 30 life. Otherwise it is a lifelinker that can be buffed by either Guide of Souls or Essence Channeler.

Ranger-Captain of Eos: This card can fetch almost all creatures in our deck, whilst also offering a solid body and disruption.

Amped Raptor: All round great value, also a 2 for one that can trigger our sisters twice.

Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury: Grows our pridemates and activates ocelot pride. If the game goes on long enough this turns into a 6/6 beater.

Ajani, Nacatl Pariah  : This card is a 2 for one, which enables our life gain. The backside offers a lot of utility. It can enable itself by playing multiple copies. Also really good synergy with Ocelot Pride.
