Care to explain why I should add these cards?

Odds are, you will only be using one Gavony Township (not both) if you are activating it, so swap one out for an 8/8 vigilant creature. You can even populate it with card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, but that probably wouldn't be necessary.

I understand your interest in 1 drops, especially when they themselves give you life, but you have a high amount of creatures, so losing 2 won't be too much of a loss.

Meanwhile, Elspeth, Knight-Errant will give you more creatures (thus triggering the soul sisters' abilities more), or it can give your creatures buffs and evasion. If she lives long enough you won't even have to worry about overextending into board wipes.

Loxodon Warhammer is a lot like Behemoth Sledge except it's probably more common, thus easier for you to trade for. If possible to get, Sword of Light and Shadow is very good for you. It gives the creature protection from most removal, if the equipped creature hits, you gain life, and can bring back a dead Felidar Sovereign or something.

Baneslayer Angel has lifelink and flying so it has evasion and still keeps with your life gain route. But it also has first strike, which can come in handy if you keep to the defensive side as well. Not really necessary, but may be useful mid-late game.

how about Survival Cache ?

It's good, but it doesn't have too much synergy with the rest of the deck... Thanks for commenting. +1?

you should play a creature with lifelink or Lifelink to put on ajani's pridemate so it buffs itself whenever it attacks

with the soul sisters and Essence Warden and Suture Priest , card:Ajani's Pridemate will only need a rancor to win. adding Lifelink makes the deck even slower and it would only even be enchanted on card:Ajani's Pridemate seeing as Serra Ascendant and Felidar Sovereign already have lifelink and my 1/1s cant use it effectively. thanks for commenting! and the +1?

ooh someone didn't read the description lol. yeah, that's definitely going in

June 1, 2013 12:48 p.m.

Nearheath Pilgrim + Ajani's Pridemate is brutal. Maybe try that out? It is good because it also gives you life from the other creatures as it is a creature itself. Great deck though

What would you remove? Cause honestly, I don't think it's better than the other cards I have in here...

June 4, 2013 3:36 a.m.

Cathedral Sanctifier to be honest. You have 16 creatures with a "enter the battlefield, gain 1 life" effect, so they would be gaining you tons of like while Sanctifier gains life only once, and can only do so much. It also helps to have a secondary lifegain/beatdown plan, and that is a nice one, the Heath/Pridemate.

It lets me get to 30 life easier. Then what should I cut for archangel of thune?

June 4, 2013 3:56 a.m.

Probably the Chalices, at least two. You have Felidar Sovereign as a win condition. Also Ajani's Pridemate and if you Rancor him then even better. Serra Ascendant could also be a win condition, so you don't really need 4x Chalices.

June 4, 2013 4:16 a.m.

tempest says... #15

But it guarantees 1 life (1 +1/+1 to each creature) and flips to put the opponent on the clock. Maybe. I'll think about it. It's also be because I would usually only want to soulbond it to Ajani's Pridemate since archangel, felidar, and Serra all have lifeline already

June 4, 2013 4:22 a.m.

Well you could do 2 Archangel of Thune and 2 Nearheath Pilgrim . The interaction between Pridemate and Pilgrim is just hilarious. This lets you keep the chalices at 4 and still add in both cards.

tempest says... #17

Alright. That could work. I'll test out different combinations

June 4, 2013 4:35 a.m.

Alright :)

Ageless Entity could be a good addition. Maybe cut back some of the Suture Priest s for it? Since they're not bi-turn gain. It'll be good to ensure the pridemate slot gets into your hand.

i don't want too many high cmc cards in here since i'm already adding in archangel of thune. besides, pretty much everything gains life 1 life at a time so the pridemate is fine.

June 16, 2013 1:29 a.m.

i actually did have them in for a bit, but they were too slow and didn't contribute as much as the other cards did. also, thank you for commenting and the +1!

Ever thought of adding Martyr of Sands... love the deck the only really good casual deck on the site with a cool casual win con

tempest says... #23

I've seen the martyr before but it doesn't have a lasting effect which is why I didn't add her

Thanks! I appreciate the support but I could hardly say its the best casual deck now could I. Lol. It is one of my favorite decks when I Play my group of friends. I usually play against creature decks so they can never keep up the damage
