Thanks ZToups!! Garruk really made my cmc high and I never got him on the battlefield anyways.. I have Ranger's Guile in my human soldier deck, and i like it in there. I do have two Bubbling Cauldron that I can put in, but I prefer Elixir of Immortality because it gives me better life, I dont have to sac a creature, and I put all cards from my graveyard to my library. I will be playtesting this friday night and I will let you know how it goes! Playing against my brothers r/b/w vamps and his mill deck, I almost always win with this deck, and Elixir really helps against his mill deck.

Although I may use both, because i like the fact that i dont have to sac Bubbling Cauldron
August 7, 2013 2:53 p.m.
Bubbling Cauldron is amazing with Angelic Accord since once you sac one creature to it you basic just get 4 life a turn for 1 mana (since Angelic Accord will give you a new creature to sac every single time), in the end you'll gain much much more life with Bubbling Cauldron then you will with Elixir of Immortality . But it's your call. Good luck

I think I will end up using both 2x Elixir of Immortality and 2x Bubbling Cauldron while removing 2x Kalonian Tusker since yeah its a great beast but not for this deck IMO

Playtested using the 2x Bubbling Cauldron and didnt like it. I rarely got the combo off. It made everything slower and I really dont like sacking my creatures. Sorry ZToups. I removed them and put in 2x Brindle Boar which are amazing in this deck.

Whatever works best for you, you should do after all. Good luck

This looks like a pretty awesome deck tbh, there's just some little things you could change, for instance maybe switch out Ajani, Caller of the Pride for Ajani Goldmane because its first life gain ability could keep triggering Archangel of Thune every turn. Same can be said for Soulmender and Orzhov Guildmage . Also if your going with the Green you have to load up on Witchstalker 's all that being said, your deck still looks awesome, just some minor tweaks, and id like to go up against with the black/white life gain deck im currently making. Speaking of which...... Im low on life, can I borrow yours

Pretty sweet deck. I once had a selesnya lifegain deck that I made on here but it was too expensive to invest in. +1 though, cool ideas.

Magiclover318 says... #13
Thanks guys! Yeah This is an expensive deck I think, but since I own all the cards its not a big deal to me. Every card in here is meant to trigger Archangel of Thune Angelic Accord and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . I took third place in game day last saturday the 10th. It was quite fun :)
August 12, 2013 9:26 a.m.
how do you think this deck will do post rotation? like have you had any planing?
August 15, 2013 6:57 p.m.
Magiclover318 says... #15
Yeah, most everything in here is standard and will be still after rotation, only changes I have to make is Sunpetal Grove , Sublime Archangel Avacyn's Pilgrim Scroll of Avacyn
I cant say what I will be replacing those cards with as I have yet to see what Theros reveals. But I am excited to and also sad to remove them. I love my playset of sunpetals, and also Sublime Arch was the first mythic rare I pulled and it was foiled haha. :) So I havent been playing long but it is still quite fun for me to see rotations
August 16, 2013 12:05 a.m.
I like Angelic Accord a lot too but I feel that my deck does not have enough life gain for that card. Also have you gotten to play much with Archangel of Thune? I have considered her but still am on the edge.
August 19, 2013 10 p.m.
Magiclover318 says... #17
Yeah I have, I just traded for a 3rd one today actually :) I am in the process of updating this right now so stay tuned :)

If you can get your hands on a Kalonian Hydra that would be insane. I got 2 of them in a similar deck, but I lack the Archangel of Thune... Together they're unstoppable. Voracious Wurm would make a nice addition too.
August 20, 2013 10:22 a.m.
Magiclover318 says... #19
I dont want Kalonian Hydra , I can get my hands on them but I just dont really want em, I already used Voracious Wurm but didnt like it as much
August 20, 2013 2:16 p.m.
i think the wurm is good bc the combo heros + the wurm is crazy
August 21, 2013 7:12 p.m.
Magiclover318 says... #21
Yeah I have put it out as a 19/19 once, I just changed this deck by adding black though, will be updating soon
August 21, 2013 8:03 p.m.
nice yea black is good for big threats or just board control

Mix in Sanguine Bond for some killer damage to go with your lifegain... Festering Newt + Bubbling Cauldron = 4 life, 8 dmg + 4/4 angel. Or do it with Tenacious Dead instead of the Newt for 4 less damage but doing it indefinately for 2B. Congregate is nice too with Sanguine Bond and a lot of tokens on the table.
August 22, 2013 6:43 p.m.
Why not Advent of the Wurm ? 5/5 trample, it trips trostani for 5 life and angelic Accord for 4/4 flyer and another 4 life. Plus for trostanis 3 mana populate u can rinse and repeat the 5/5 4/4 and 9 life
August 24, 2013 12:39 a.m.
Magiclover318 says... #25
Yeah, I am trying to get my hand on those. I actually decided against black(see above comments) and I am updating this deck right now.

I see that your making this as you get cards and that's fine, it's off to a fine start. My advice: Garruk, Caller of Beasts should make a return, your very heavy creature base makes his +1 a great drawing engine. Elixir of Immortality is never really worth playing maindeck as it's too costly for the life you gain (basicly reads (3) gain 5 life) and is only good against mill (and rarely even then), in it's place try to get 2 Bubbling Cauldron from M14 with Angelic Accord you can keep sacing the one token you get to gain 4 and make a new token for a steady lifegain engine if you need it. Unflinching Courage is good but without Gladecover Scout or Sigarda, Host of Herons is too risky (high chance for a 2-1). Play Ranger's Guile it's a common so you should be able to get four easily. Good luck!
