. Next, I want to say something.
I FELT LIKE A BEAST PLAYING THIS DECK!

That was how I named it (no surprise).
Here it is:
turn 1: Forest, Hardened Scales
Turn two: Plains, Hero of Iroas
Turn Three: Plains, Fabled Hero
Turn Four: Plains, Sunbond + Ordeal of Heliod on Fabled Hero and swing for 45 damage!
That's a whole 15 point more than my other deck, just from Hardened Scales!

I really can't say how much I love it. Every playtest was amazing, quickly granting me 9/9 doublestrike creatures with lifelink, or better. Every card had a purpose, and now I am going to go over them.

The creatures

Abzan Battle Priest-really awesome, since my creatures get +1/+1 counters really easy, but don't have lifelink, so obvious choice

Ajani's Pridemate-gets obnoxiously powerful SUPAH fast!

Courser of Kruphix-helps a lot, and is a great body to begin with.

Fabled Hero -makes counters twice as powerful on him

Hero of Iroas -used to help a ton, but I am not sure anymore

Phalanx Leader -uumm, Hardened Scales anyone?

Seeker of the Way -really fun, only creature card with a lifelink trigger in the deck.

The Instants, sorceries, and enchantments

Banishing Light-currently the form of removal in this deck

Feat of Resistance -the protection/way to hit opponent

Gods Willing -same as above

Hardened Scales-Insane. Just INSANE!!

Honor's Reward - triggers sunbond, and I get to bolster. Why not?

Ordeal of Heliod - Ordeal of Heliod +Sunbond: the most broken combo in the deck when placed on a creature with heroic

Sunbond-don't question the authority of sunbomb!

valerous stance-removal or protection? Double win!

The Planeswalkers

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes-ultimate+sunbond=stupidity

Ajani Steadfast-even giving the creature +1/+1 and lifelink would be good, but first strike and vigilance too?! Duh!

Out of time for descriptions now, so please comment!

Edit

I am immortalizing SiegeRhiNOOO's description of the combo! Thanks! 'll try to explain what Minelia5 said one by one (although he/she already explained it. I'll put a detailed explanation for you)

As what the comment above said, Fabled Hero has Double strike, which means he will deal two instances of damage (first instance is by first strike and the second instance is by regular combat damage), so if Fabled has a power of 2, then if the regular combat damage happens, he will be able to deal a total of 4 damage. He also has an ability called Heroic, "whenever you target this creature with a spell...". For the Fabled, his heroic will be putting a +1/+1 counter on him.

Now for the combo which made him swing for 38.

He's got Hardened Scales in play, whenever a +1/+1 counter would be placed on a creature you control, that many plus another +1/+1 will be put instead.

He also used a Sunbond and an Ordeal of Heliod. Whenever you attack, Ordeal week give the enchanted creature a +1/+1 counter, then when it has three +1/+1 counters, sacrifice the Ordeal and you gain 10 life. Note the Sunbond gives the enchanted creature a +1/+1 counter for every life you gain. So here's what happened:

Sunbond on Fabled Hero triggered heroic, with Hardened Scales in play (two +1/+1 counters already, Hero's current P/T: 4/4)

Ordeal of Heliod put on Hero triggered heroic again, +1/+1 for heroic and +1/+1 from the Scales again. (current P/T: 6/6)

Attacking Hero was given a +1/+1 counter by Ordeal's effect, and another by the Scales (P/T: 8/8)

More than three counters were placed on the Hero already so the Ordeal was sacrificed to gain ten life. You gained 10 life, which means Sunbond will give the Hero ten +1/+1 counters, and another one from Scales. (P/T: 19/19)

Full doublestrike damage if not blocked will be a whopping 38 damage. (first instance of doublestrike: 19 + 2nd instance: 19 = 38)
