Deck discussion for B/W Lifegain

I like where this deck is headed. Cradle of vitality may work well in this.

Thanks! Cradle of Vitality is good, but I haven't got any open space for it at the moment. Plus I would have to mess around with the mana curve.... Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it!

this might help a little! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=207356

My own B/W lifegain, but less aggresive and with sanguine bond, which is a card you could consider for this deck! and imo, a fourth ajani's pridemate, they are so unbelievably strong!

some way too draw cards is never wrong. I usually use sign in blood for that.

hope i could help and thanks for the comment!

Sign in Blood is good, but I added three Phyrexian Arenas instead because its a long-term draw engine (I added the fourth Pridemate too). Like you said, Sanguine Bond is for less aggressive decks which is why I don't use it. Question about Sanguine Bond: say you have two out and you gain 4 life by attacking with a Divinity of Pride. Does your opponent lose 4 life or 8 life? In other words, does Sanguine Bond's effect stack?

Thanks for the suggestions by the way, they really helped.

it does stack, so they lose 8 life, plus the 4 that the divinity of pride made. pretty sick! and then imagine them with 25+ life ;)

Just two more things! This deck is aggressive, so i think you should drop the souls of the faultless and add something like stillmoon cavalier or even mourning thrull.

Also, we could trade some comments, so if you look at this deck, put a link in the comment and i'll look at that deck!

Glad i could help!

Stillmoon Cavelier isn't that great in my opinion, plus he doesn't have lifelink or anything. Mourning Thrull is good, but Souls of the Faultless provides such a strong "backbone" to the deck that the Thrull just can't provide. No one wants to attack once Souls of the Faultless hits the field, because they would essentially be attacking themselves while giving me life. No one really gets scared away from attacking when Mourning Thrull is played, which is why Souls is such an important card.

I like this. WB is my second favorite enemy colour to play (BG being my favorite). Personally I'd use Path to Exile over Swords to Plowshares in this type of deck as I wouldn't want to give the opponent life (I don't mind the extra land).

Good point, I think I'll make the switch. Thanks for the advice!

though if need be, you could kill one of your own guys for some extra life.

Eh. I think the chances that I will need to do that are pretty slim. Plus, if I'm killing my own creatures to keep myself alive I'll have a harder time surviving and attacking back.
