Deck discussion for Life gain Life loss extended

Holy Day can be replaced with safe passage, it costs 2 more mana but is much better. Ajani's Mantra sucks, you can lose it... With Oblivion Ring and Doom Blade, I think you can lose Pacifism. Sanguine Bond is heavy on the mana curve so i'd put 2-3 copies in. Also, Vampire Nighthawk is insane, and great in black life gain. Also, i'm surprised that there is no Divinity of Pride here...

thanks deck updated hopefully it looks better left ajani's mantra in though as it powers the pridemates and gains me life and saps my opponents when sanguine bond is out

i agree with the first guy...ajani's mantra needs to get out of here. its taking up spots that could be filled by ANYTHING else. honestly 1 life per turn is not worth 2 mana. also you are really mana starved, i dont think white sun's zenith has any worth in the deck. i would probably put in some more control. maybe path to exile or go for the throat depending on whether you want to go black or white.

Hey, I built a very similar deck thats still inside of Standard. Check it out and compare. I really wish Divinity of Pride was still in Standard... Works beautifully in this.

Nice deck, thanks for sharing it. Ever thought about maybe putting in a loxodon warhammer or two? I had a test game where there was an ajani's pridemate out that had like 20 counters on it lol, but couldn't do any damage because the other deck had a 1/1 regenerating blocker, lol. Loxodon warhammer would have been great for that situation.
