43 Lands is a scosh high, I would cut down to at least forty, maybe thirty-eight. Sword of Light and Shadow is a repeatable source of lifegain, and it also returns guys who died. Elspeth, Sun's Champion vomits out tonnes of tokens, and wraths the board. Day of Judgment, Wrath of God, and Supreme Verdict are all great at keeping the board under control, and with 22 creatures, it's not likely going to set you as far back as your opponents. Jace Beleren is a repeatable draw source, and he makes you friends with his plus ability.

This is fabulous.

Why did you take out Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant / Rune-Tail's Essence? It seems like you were going back and forth about it; Did it just feel like overkill?
I don't think you need any help with the deck :P but if you wanted some, maybe take out a few lands. Also, I'm fairly sure that the amount of cards in the deck has to be exactly 100 cards, including the commander.

The title is great. :)

Oh, and the Ajani's Mantra + Ajani's Pridemate = Glory

WOW! Thanks a lot guys. Joe, I actully think I'll stick with the lone missionary, because, it's just so good. It is 4 life, which helps reach in "you can't touch me" phase, of the game. Also it serves as a good blocker. I don't really need any more mana rocks, with the 43 mana, I easily reach the highest cmc card. I don't really like the exquisite blood, just didn't really fit me. But thanks for all the other ideas:).

I mainly took it out because it wouldn't be comparable with untap :|. And thanks kitty:-)

And in magic there is never an EXACT number of card in the deck it needs to be, it can be over.

This deck actully needs a mana dump. Any ideas?

But exquisite blood and Sanguine Blood go so well together. And I just don't think Lone Missionary gives enough value out of a card in commander. The average power level is just too high. And I didn't notice before, but it is 100 including commander, so 99 excluding, like KittyArtist said.

Greed is a good manadump, but only black.

Thanks joe. I'll think about the missionary, and the sanguine. Thanks it the suggestions, expecially the greed.

As far as I know, Commander and Tiny Leaders are the only formats that have a precise number of cards you need - not under or over.And why keep all of the mana if you're just trying to find a place to dump it? But if you wanted something ridiculous to do with a ton of mana, find a creature you like with Kicker and run with it. :)

The point of a mana dump is to be good. If I have excess mana(that happens sometimes) then boom, a pretty good mana dump.

Looks nice, that is some serious mana and ramp you got going there.

2 things I see. Llanowar Wastes is not legal in this deck due to the green mana symbol. maybe swap it for a Dromar's Cavern or a Caves of Koilos etc... and it looks like you accidentally got 2 Sanguine Bond listed.

Otherwise since you have Avacyn, Angel of Hope I'd say toss in a Wrath of God or a Supreme Verdict to clear everyone else's board.

Check out mine, Unlimited 1-UPS it may give you some ideas.

Archangel's Light for graveyard retrieval?

Ajani's Sunstriker could be replaced by Wurmcoil Engine, I think. Wurmcoil is more powerful, and deathtouch may as well mean it has evasion.

Rune-Scarred Demon is only necessary if you have a combo in mind. Maybe you could replace Jace's Ingenuity with Exquisite Blood to combo off with Sanguine Bond?

Teferi's Puzzle Box Looks a little odd with so much draw. I get the "cycling through cards" thing, but drawing cards only to shove them to the bottom of your library seems a bit counterproductive to me. Try Temple Bell.

Looks good! Please tell me what you think of mine: Oloro a.k.a Agressive Lifegain
