Yeah i get that, just saying if your opponent gets a combo where you can't attack quick(my U/B deck) or a Propaganda... or even if they pull Elderscale Wurm, Platinum Angel or something similar you might as well scoop.

I like the deck man, only thing that concerns me is the lack of any kind of removal, hopefully the "can't play spells higher than 4 cmc" catches most the issues...

Yeah , while I definitely think a deck like that is viable, Archangel of Thune is quite pricey $$$, and I feel you would want at least 2x of her in the deck.

Cards you might look to remove:
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Venser's Journel</span> - By the time you have 5 mana, you'll be able to play all but 6 cards in your deck. That being said I doubt you'll recieve much life gain from this. Also you are paying to have the "no max hand size", which won't come into play since you can already play most your deck.
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Ajani's Sunstriker</span> - A 2/2 Lifelink for {W}{W} is kinda lack-luster, you could probably find a creature that can gain more life, or attack/defend for more.
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Ajani's Mantra</span> - While gaining 1 life per turn is nice, I think have twice as much chance drawing a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Celestial Mantle</span> would be better.

Cards you might look to add:
Martyr of Sands
Auriok Champion
Soul Warden
Children of Korlis
Noble Purpose
Cradle of Vitality
Fiendslayer Paladin
Angelic Chorus
Spirit Loop
Wall of Reverence
Suture Priest

Very good start man. Couple things i'd suggest...

I like Goldenglow Moth over Cathedral Sanctifier. Goldenglow will give you a nice early defense against flying, and you still get a element of life gain if you need to block with it.

Remove Venser's Journel, unless you add something to draw cards, beings your deck has quite a few low casting cards I feel you won't have any use of the "No maximum hand size". So your paying {5} for a card that <span style="font-weight:bold;">could</span> gain you life depending on the number of cards in your hand. That being said, if you do add something to draw cards, you might also consider cards like <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=74054" target="_blank">Kiyomaro, First to Stand</a>

I would swap out Solemn Offering for a cheaper removal, <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=284488" target="_blank">Revoke Existence</a> or a more versatile one, <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=259711" target="_blank">Oblivion Ring</a>.

<a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Advanced.aspx" target="_blank">The Gatherer</a> is a SUPER powerful search engine made by Wizards of the Coast to search the entire MTG library. You can find everything your looking for, given you know how to search for it. You can then sort the search results by "Community Rating" to see the better cards at the top. After its sorted you can pick and choose which cards will work best for the type/style of deck you want to create. On each card there is also a discussions tab where you can view peoples comments on the card, a lot of the times people post cards that work really well with or similar to the given card. If you have any questions, on using the Gatherer let me know I can help you out, its not as intuitive as it could be.

Here is a searches I did for you...
<a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?sort=rating-&action=advanced&color=%20@(|[W]|[C])&format=%20[%22Modern%22]&text=%20[gain]%20[life]" target="_blank">Modern, White or Colorless(artifacts) cards that say "Gain Life"</a>

One last thing, pay close attention to whether a card says "May" or not. In rare circumstances, <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=rain%20of%20gore" target="_blank">you might not want to gain any life</a>. But if the card doesn't say "may" then you have to... that is the difference between Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant. So its kinda a double edge sword...

very cool deck check out my Draw-to-death deck <a href="http://www.mtgvault.com/spyfellow/decks/megrim-dreams/" target="blank">Megrim Dreams</a> you might be able to get a few ideas from it.

I'm not sure about your creature defense, walls tend to just delay a bit, better to kill off their creatures or stop them from attacking all together.

I would suggest possibly adding Scuttlemutt to your deck, you can tap him to make him color or color(s) of your choice, then tap your bloom tender for all 5 colors.

i have a deck <a href="http://www.mtgvault.com/spyfellow/decks/door-to-nothingness/">here</a> that uses that combo to power into Reaper King, Coalition Victory and Door to Nothingness

Currently im thinking about reworking it to include less scarecrows and more mutli-colored creatures like you have in this deck.

Fair points on adding green.

I didnt include the Slith because often my opponent has a 1 cmc creature to play. So I went with the Stinger, which has flying.

This deck is sweet Savvy, i really enjoyed stealing your creatures :P

Seriously though, i do really like this deck, only suggestion is to keep an eye on the new Boros stuff coming out, and maybe swap those dual lands with possibly Clifftop Retreat

I like your "tap" deck!
<a href="http://mtgvault.com/spyfellow/decks/the-damned-tap-deck/">Check out mine</a>, it is also Black/White so it may give you a few ideas.

Yep, pretty exciting, the counter has been broke for a while, and I understand the advantages and disadvantages to both, which is why I do have both.

Honestly, I am not really sure. As a web developer myself, I don't quite understand how it would have broken....

Good point about damage dealt vs life loss, only reason I keep Megrim over Lilana's Caress is the fact I could search for it using Perplex's Transmute ability.

I like the graveyard hate for Graveborn decks(there was a Eldrazi-Graveborn deck in my Meta) and of course to exile my opponents graves so I can use Web of Inertia to keep them from attack me or stop any other graveyard based shenanigans.

Propaganda would work for this also, however it is not as much of a lock as my lockdown, however my combo requires 2 cards vs. just Propaganda...

I was trying to keep this deck completely creature-less however when i found Jace's Archivist i found her ability too good to pass up....
