Ever since Angelic Accord was spoiled I've been interested in breaking it. Now that Theros has been fully spoiled I'm curious how everyone else feels about Standard midrange lifegain.

What are other people's thoughts?

I think it could be done in one of three ways:

Mono-White weenie style: Path of Bravery , Fiendslayer Paladin , and Ordeal of Heliod

Selesnya Midrange Style: Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , a few Heroes' Reunion , and Fiendslayer Paladin

Bant Control: Sphinx's Revelation , Blind Obedience , Counter Suite, some Heroes' Reunion , and some of the above guys.

Other than those, I think Esper/Junk could be done as well because of Whip of Erebos and Obzedat, Ghost Council , but I'm not sure if it would be as strong.

Right now I'm working on G/W midrange but something feels like it's missing. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going in the wrong direction.

What's your list? I might be able to take a look and bounce some ideas off of you.

Also, I find it interested to see how there's a mini 'combo" with Trostani and the enchantment.

I have been trying to make a mono white aggro lifegain deck if you want to check it out.

I think I want to go more towards the midrange direction.
