Deck discussion for Life Gain EDH

a good idea try a moonlit wake or proper burial to take advantage of the board clearers and possibly march of souls to keep some creatures on the field

thanks. I probably wont go with the march, given that most likely I'll have fewer creatures. I'll probably put in soul net if I have room

I wrote this long post, and then there was a server error and I lost it. Crap!

I like the deck; Treva is such an underplayed general that's it's really refreshing to see her take the reins. Here are a few cards that I think would make the deck even better:
Respite
Well of Lost Dreams
Congregate
Oracle of Nectars
Baneslayer Angel
Battlegrace Angel
Exalted Angel
Windbrisk Raptor
Behemoth Sledge
Loxodon Warhammer
Storm Herd!!!

You are running enough cheap Instants that Isochron Scepter might be worth a shot. The beauty of Isochron would be that it keeps your Fogs and whatnot from causing you too much card disadvantage. And EDH is largely about card advantage as the games can span a large number of turns, and casting a bunch of one shot effects (including spells that only gain life) can bleed you try in the long run. To this end, you may also consider adding some more hard card draw like Concentrate and Harmonize. You could also go for the Hondens of Seeing Winds and Cleansing Fire.

Thanks for the help. I probably wont add the equipment, reason being they are cards which can't always be used. I really don't have room for congregate, wish I did, but I don't. The angels I dont think fit in to the life gain as well as I need them to. Other than that, great suggestions guys. Keep'em coming!
