Deck discussion for A Healthy Victory

Sunspring Expedition and rest for the weary are great to quickly ramp up your life, also Vanguard's Shield is really good with Pride Guardian.

There is no reason to have Somberwald Sage in this deck. Maybe you should replace it with Divinity of Pride. That card is INSANE in lifegain.

I'm not up to date with older cards. How does the casting of it work?

Does it take 5 or 10 mana to cast?

5 the "B/W" he put means hybrid mana, so either can be used

Nice deck the only thing i dont see for life gain is archangels light might come in handy but not that necessary

There is also true conviction, but I decided against it.

Hero's Reunion instead of Angel's Mercy. Sanguine Bond would do great here too. TAnd maybe add some Solemn Offering too.

Sanguine bond is tasty
Exquisite blood is more tasty
Sanguine bond and Exquisite blood together in the same deck is so f'cking delicious

I'd be tempted to drop a colour. I'd run black white with transendent master

0

I think the three color thing is not worth it, the black is making you to slow, I've drawn a few hands and it looks like often it makes you have to sit back and wait a turn or two, also I'd lose the favor of the woods, it's just not that good, run another chalice of life, its a great game winner, your life is 30 flip three chalices, boom! 15 damage to your enemy each turn

Only suggestions I could make is if you have the cards/money, You could replace Avacyn's Pilgrim with Birds of Paradise, then if you could work in a Sorin Lord of Innistrad that would help the deck a ton.

how about an ajani's pridemate for win condition? And i'm surprised to see no elixer of immortality here, usually a lock for a life gain deck.

i agree that black is slowing you down here. thin out the deck and make room for ajani's and elixer and i wouldn't wanna go near this deck haha

I also think that rest for the weary would rock in this deck, and possibly even a grazing gladeheart, but he might slow you down a little bit since all your creatures are like 2 or 1 drops.

Wow guys. Thanks for all of the help/advice. I will put up a W/G version of this so look for it soon. And SickPony, almost all of my decks are just ideas. I don't have the money nor the cards to make them. Though I would if I could.

try heroes reunion instead of angels mercy. same effect, the difference is heroes reunion is 2 mana g/w.

What format is this?

If its just casual, there are a million better things you could be doing, with like 3/4 of the cards

My original intention was for it to be extended with hopes that some of the cards would be reprinted so that it could be standard.

I know you are a little tight on room in this deck, but a disentomb or two would be nice for when the soverign gets removed immediately

Dude, i like this deck. But listen, AJANI's PRIDEMATE! it would do this deck so many favors i can't count that high.

Im going to put up a W/G version of the deck soon. Pridemate will be in it. Any other suggestions?

searching, searching.....

- Heroes' Reunion
- Soul Conduit?
- AGELESS ENTITY! :O
- PURITY
- one of the Ajanis
- Martyr of Sands
- Angel of Jubilation?
- Goldnight Redeemer?
- Any of the Soul Sisters (Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Essence Warden)
- Ajanis Mantra?
- Leyline of Vitality
- Serra Ascendant
- Lifelink (duh)
- Alabaster Mage?
- Timely Reinforcements
- BEACON OF IMMORTALITY
- Inquisitor Exarch
- Phyrexian Unlife?
- Suture Priest
- Elspeth Tirel
- Whitesun's Passage
- FEUDKILLERS VERDICT
- Channel
- Felidar Sovereign
- Tree of Redemption
- Heroes Remembered
- Drogskol Reaver (if you want to add blue)
- Wurmcoil Engine

I think that pretty much covers the best of GW life gain (note: there may be stuff missing, but i just quick searched G/W "life", and filtered out stuff that looked cool.

Hope this helps :)

Ageless entity, suture priest, essence and soul warden, beacon of immortality, all amazing lifegain cards. Ajani and ajanis pridemate are also really good offense.

favor of the woods and sylvok lifestaff are cards you DEFINITELY want to cut. Also, perhaps angels mercy too.
heres my standard stuff.

Rise from the grave or something else that resurrects creatures might be good in case they manage to counter or kill the felidar.
