Deck: Life Gain into Hurt

Obviously this deck doesn't work everytime, but it's meant for fun and I like how it plays.

I'm currently debating with myself about some of the 1 and 2 drops in this deck.

I took out 3x Ajani's Pridemate because they trigger only one +1/+1 for each time you gain life, which was a bit slow at times.The deck needs to get plenty of life in the beginning to start working, so drawing a Pridemate slows you down big time.

I tried the Soul Sisters, but they're too much relying on the opponent dropping creatures and slow altogether. Currently, I run 3x Knight of Meadowgrain, with mixed results. It's okay for a 2 drop, helps gaining and keeping life.

But I'm always tempted to use one of these (3x):Goldenglow MothPride GuardianPerimeter Captain

They're all 1 drops which makes them work quite well since this deck doesn't have (or need) that much mana.The Moth helps preventing x damage while gaining 4, it's also flying. Sure, it's a suicide mission, but with good trade-offs.The Guardian is sort of in-between between the Captain and the Moth.The Captain certainly would stay alive for quite a while as a blocker. But both are ground troops, so the Moth has an advantage.

The Moth might also keep people from attacking to prevent the life gain.

I'm also open for suggestions and feedback about the deck in general. I haven't played MTG for quite some years (not in this century), so I might be missing something obvious.

Infinite life with Boros Reckoner I'm sort of playing around in my mind. The mana base does provide mono white, I could get lifelink and indestructible.
