White LifeGain Deck - Any Suggestions??

White LifeGain Deck

Strategy of this deck is to just sit back and gain tons of life, and win when you reach 40 life or win with the flyers if need be.
If you have any suggestions please let me know!!

I suggest putting some cards in there that give your creatures +1+1 counters and then put in Abzan Battle Priest and Abzan Falconer, and also maybe Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit.

Have you looked into possibly green and white?  Or just green, cards like predators rapport can make that happen when you bring out big creatures which is easy to do in a green deck.

@matothias
Thanks for the suggestion! I definitely agree and got those cards coming now!

@lawrencekim808
Thanks for the suggestion, I actually already have a pretty good green deck with predators rapport included so now im just trying to focus on improving my mono white deck.

Don't rely on felidar sovereign as a win condition. I've got a life gain deck and I've never won with him XD. But I don't have him in as a win condition. I treat him as removal bait be ause, no matter what other creatures you have on the field, he will be the target. I use him to keep threat off rhox faithmender and whatever I have celestial mantle attached to.

Oops forgot. Maybe throw some spot protection like faith's shield or gods willing. Because you WILL be drawing all the hate.

[cnjneerlang]

Thanks for the input! Yeah i totally agree, im always the focus in a three way since i gain so much life. Yeah ill use felidar soverign as a first defense to keep rohx faithmender alive. Yess i will put some protection from sources in my deck forsure.

There is already a somewhat popular deck archetype similar to this called soul sisters. It basically relies on getting soul warden and/or soul's attendant onto the field as soon as possible, particularly in multiples and then just vomiting large amounts of creatures to get your life total upwards of 30. Once you have 30 life you can play serra ascendant as a 6/6 flyer with lifelink for just one mana. Martyr of sands is also a powerful life gain card, potentially giving you enough life to have serra ascendant online by turn 2. If you want more cheap lifegain cards, cathedral sanctifier is a 1/1 creature for 1 that gives 3 life upon entry.

I think Abzan colored Lifegain would be most efficient.
Drana's Emissary, Zulaport, Blisterpod, Felidar Sovereign, with like feed the clan and Rot shambler, a couple Sultai emissary's, Jaddi offshoot and gideons, also maybe some from beyond's to trigger Bone splinters and zulaport. And of COURSE Siege Rhino. POWER
Actually imma build that right now.

Then you become just another Abzan clone XD.

Yeah, but Clones are not Abzan so i'm not a clone

     For this deck I would encourage the use of setessan battle priest and the white jeskai creatures that also have first strike and life link effects. This way whether your opponent takes the offense against you, you'd still be able to defend yourself and STILL gain health. Also playing instances that give you first strike and enchantments such as divine favor, creatures like auramancer and arashin cleric would be good ways to gain health and keep good field presence. Having life gain be the theme is not a bad strategy, but you are going to need a strategy as far as game plans go. The trick to a good life gain deck that is also mono white is being able to create synergy between the creatures and spells you play. for example, if you swung with setessan battle priest and then played feat of resistance she would gain +1/+1, protection from any color, you'd gain 2 life AND she would survive combat while destroying the other person's creature. It's the little strategies like that which help make decks last for the long haul.

Hmmmmm.....Also some Ajani's pridemate and Ajani steadfast might be good.
