Deck Description

I built this deck online for forfun play with my friends and I didn't have the chance to test it in real life so I am making it public for you guys be able to use it if you enjoy it.
Anyway, feel free to comment if you think the deck could improve somehow.

Ps.: The sideboard isn't a real sideboard, but some cards which I know and that you can change them with the deck if you rather play with more control, defense against enchantments and artifacts or if you want to make the deck grow with "death" instead of (or just with) "life", and some other stuff that can help... er... well... some way it is a sideboard after all...

How to Play

In this deck you must gain life and try to gain counters every time you gain life, as there are not many cards that can gain counters like this ( at least that I know of), the 'Well of Lost Dreams' and 'Infiltration Leans' make you draw cards to complete the goal when something goes wrong and to speed up the deck as the average mana cost is low.

You can also use the 'Gleam of Authority' and/or 'Sunbond' to make the "life cards" to grow, make "counter cards" to grow faster or even, if you have the mana or are willing to wait until there, combo with Wall of Limbs's mana ability and deal a big blow on your opponent.

There is also the murder investigation that can be quite useful to make your opponent not ant to destroy a countercard or if the opponent actually destroy the creature card... well... I think you understood

Deck discussion for Life and counters

Deck:
Great deck bro ( WAIT... did I just assume your gender :0)! But here is what I would have done:
Take out the wall of limbs and replace them with 2 sanguine bonds and 2 exquisite bloods
Then take out 2 plains and replace with 2 shambling vent
Also take out infiltration lens, 1 murder investigation, and 2 oppressive rays, replace with 6 forests
Take out caves of koilos for 2 Anafenza, the foremost and 2 hardened scales
Instead of pillory of the sleepless add abzan battle priest
Karlov of the ghost council is amazing in this deck, sadly though it's not modern legal so unless this is casual ( if it is, leave it the way it is ) I'd replace it with abzan ascendancy
Another good idea would be to replace well of lost dreams with tablet of the guilds
Take out one soul's attendant to add in a single ageless entity
Remove the last 2 murder investigation to add 2 winding constrictors.
And finally replace the rest of the oppressive rays with sunbond.
Sideboard:
Get rid of your sideboard and replace with:
Cursebreak 4x
Silence 4x
Divine Offering 3x
Ivory-Tusk Fortress 2x
Drana, Liberator of Malikar 2x
The sideboard is at max size now
Here is a like from me

Thanks bro ( Yeah you assumed it right =D, although i doubt any woman would put MassiveFat as a nickname, for vanity reasons. And no, I am not fat, 1,70m -1,75m and 50kg - 53kg, no i don't know my exact height and weight)

For the bloody combo, i really don't want to do those infinite kind of combos;
I was trying to have no tap lands for the process of draw cards and put them on the battlefield be faster, so 'Shambling Vent' is not ver fitting ( as you want to take out the 'Well of Lost Dreams' and 'Infiltration Leans' it actually does not matter at all )
And.. OH MY GOD! You are changing even the deck color! :0
Yeah 'Anafenza, the foremost' and 'Hardened Scales' are quite good, but as you put green i must say 'Corpsejack Menace' might do a better job than 'Hardened Scales' and 'Winding Constrictors'... I don't know actually... if each counter is from an individual ability does that make an extra counter for each ability?.. if yes corpsejack would be worse for the higher mana cost... ( Yes I am a freshman in magic, there is not a big magic community where I live. Also because of this I just know what is Standard and not sure if I know what Commander and EDH are).
Yes I want to place the 'Abzan Battle Priest' and 'Abzan Falconer' in the deck, however I just created it and I am reluctant to change a card in the deck for them D= Sorry! D; D; D;
No it's indeed for casual play so no need to worry with the 'Karlov Of the Ghost Council' and because almost half of the cards are "life givers", not supposed to attack and defend, the second ability of 'Abzan Ascendancy' is not very attractive as I don't want my pets to die, but if they would die a token could be of little use to my newbie eyes, yes it would combo with soul guys and hold an creature's attack... still not very useful to my newbie eyes
Don't know if the 'Ageless Entity' is worthy because of the mana cost..
And I was really trying to find something that could give my babies (don't judge me =P) vigilance and Ivory-Tusk Fortress does it!
Btw the sideck isn't a sideck but options of cards which I know and that could improve the deck

Lmao it was fun to writte this, hope the "just kidding" was for your hole comment if not you can ignore my denial for changing the deck. However, what I wrote is my opinion, I do prefer my version but I would need more time to think as I am not very experienced in Magic and the only colors I played with so far are white and black( both in the same deck ). I Hope you understand my noobness, I really want to make the deck better if possible

(I really hope you dind't realize english is not my primary language)

That is also a good idea, I totally spaced that I'd take out 2 wall of limbs for that!

Yes I wanted it but it costs at least 70 from the currency where a live, I eyed this card since the first deck I build like a far away dream D=
It's complicated since the dolar price isn't proporcional to the price, some cards remain the original price while others can be like 10 times the price, no kidding D=
Of course it's rare suck a high price, the usual is 2 times the dolar price. Karlov of The Ghost Council. 3 dolars(original), 17reais = something around 5 to 6 dolars
But it is a VERY nice card indeed

Yeah I was looking for cards that could give vigilance and this is what I found http://www.mtgvault.com/massivefat/decks/coletive-vigilance/
Unfortunately they can't give counters like 'Ring Of Thune', just some high mana cost cards that can give vigilance + lifelink and vigilance or lifelink, allowing the lifelink to give counters after the damage step
So I was thinking on adding 3'Abzan Battle Priest' and 3 'Brave The Sands' because of this

Btw, "Quando voce montar (construir is more from building, tools... it's not very fitting for decks) aqui, não tem que ser as mesmas cartas (Cartão is similar but not the same.. don't know how to explain this) que voce usa na realidade( or vida real)"
Yes but I still intend to use buy this deck after some improvements, and when I have money for it, I can't forget this part D=

You should really cut Gleam of Authority, it's only setting you up for getting 2 for 1'd. Murder Investigation should also go IMO for much of the same reason. Spectral Procession and Lingering Souls should both be in this build.

Sorry forgot to answer you!
And sorry I did not understand the "2 for 1 would" and "IMO", English is not my first language D=

I was thinking on using Gleam of Authory and murder Investigation as a combo with Wall of Limbs, not just as +1/+1 buff and token cards, Lingering Souls could trigger quite a good quantity of counters in just two turns indeed.

Oh, and I made another version of this deck if you want to take a look, I managed to lower the price ( $9 ) and the total converted mana cost of the deck

2 for 1d. Is saying that your opponent is going to destroy/remove the creature you attempt to enchant with the aura. Effectively dealing with two of your cards with one of thiers. 2 for 1.

IMO is "In My Opinion"

If we are gaining life, why not something like Alhammarret's Archive? Doubles the life you gain and gives you extra card draw. Then, just for fun, throw in Atherflux Reservoir to blow people up with.
