Rough draft of a post rotation lifegain deck. I'm sure theros will bring better options, especially for the sideboard, but this is what we have now. Rhox faithmender will be dearly missed...Before everyone says "archangel of thune!!! 1!! 1!! :F" she's just a bit too pricey for me. If she goes down to about $10-15 then sure, but for now this is what I have.

I see a few problems. First off, you are gaining a bunch of life with no added benefits except to have lots of life. You really want massive life as a side effect from your very good looking board state, seeing as Selenya gives you the support for that to happen. Angelic Accord is amazing with Trostani Selesnya's Voice. Pay three, get an angel, get four life, trigger Angelic Accord. So two for the price of one? Great! With all those flying angels, you might want something just a bit more over powered. Entreat the angels are really nice, and there is a new 7 drop mythic, devout invocation, that'd be a nice one to add too. I'd lose trading post, you want to draw cards, not discard them. I'd lose hero's reunion, it's just an extra spell that isn't giving you any card advantage or field advantage. I'd pick up on some populate. Rootborn defense mainly.I'd drop a few voracious wurms, it's a deceiving card. I love what it does for this deck, but it's not a four of. In hindsight, it's actually a four or five drop, considering you'll want it along side life gain spells. So three or two would be perfect. Three trostani Selesnya's voice has worked out wonderful in my own decks.There are two reasons to use lifegain in tournament quality standard right now:1) To go infinite and win the game by default2) Spot a bit of life gain to take the edge off of aggroYour deck doesn't do either. You go all out for life gain, which does make you hard to kill, but will make most matches go to time. That's not a good thing unless you're up by a win. Otherwise its a draw.So in other words, you need to make your deck more lethal, and seriously consider finding a different route to win. You mentioned Archangel of thune being to much for you right now, that is understandable. However, you can still make an excellent life gain deck with out her. Just focus on killing your opponent. Trostani Selesnya's Voice is a lifegain deck all on her own with the right token support. Possibly get a bit aggro with call of the conclave.If you don't plan on playing in tournaments settings, don't conform to the format. Modern Cards are cheaper, they are funner to play, and can be very rewarding. A bigger card pool gives you more possibilities.

Yeah the current version (not this, the version that I actually have) goes infinite, wins with chalice of life, or wins with a 20/20 voracious wurm with trample and lifelink. Its much better than this. Honestly this post was more for myself to compile and analyze what I will have to work with and what needs to be replaced when rotation hits. I agree this isn't as competitive as it currently could be, its just some stuff that I want to keep building around when rotation hits. Thank you for the suggestions though, ill consider them with the final draft with theros
