This deck is a common strategy of getting lots of lifegain along with cards like Ajani's Pridemate and Archangel of Thune. I mixed in some card draw to make it more consistent in matchups that are usually pretty bad for aggro.

You almost always will have a good opening, and should be able to ignore more aggressive decks since the lifegain will keep you comfortable. By turn four, you should be consistently having about 3 separate triggers for lifegain, and by turn 5 (or if you've got a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx you can do it turn 4) you can play Archangel of Thune and overwhelm your opponent.

A perfect opening would be:
Turn 1 - Plains; Healer Hawk
Turn 2 - Castle Ardendale; Daxos, Blessed by the Sun
Turn 3 - Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx; Linden, the Steadfast Queen
Turn 4 - Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx; Archangel of Thune; Lone Rider; Lone Rider
Turn 5 - Swing for a lot of damage.

Justification of some cards:
Stasis Snare - Not the best removal, but doubles as extra devotion to white.
Mentor of the Meek - Not too aggro, but triggers from so many cards in this deck that I felt he fit in.
