I'm really confused why your on red? For burn it seems really silly being a life gain deck that you want to interact with your opponent in anyway. What makes life gain decks control decks is that they are able to gain an absurd amount of life quickly. While adding a tempo based board that can be a problem for most decks. U are trying to have your cake and eat it to. Which I don't think is what u want to be doing.

Really like the naya spin off of Soul Sisters. +1 from me.

surprisingly it works very well! It is not a strict soul sister build, the Lightning Bolt have picked off more Bobs then you could imagine! plus Boros Charm saves me from WOG, DOJ, and surprisingly Death Cloud which is really prevalent at my local FNM, Lightning Helix picks off and multiplies counters! as much as I love lots and lots of life mono white sister decks end up puttering out when playing Jund, Tron, and any other of the main threats in the Meta. this deck withstands gains same amount of life as a mono white sister seeing it has the norm of 12 sisters! so red is really helpful in holding off threats :D

Have you considered Melira, Sylvok Outcast in your board for infect? Only thing I can really think of besides more removal I guess.

I'm not sure if this is better than the traditional soul sisters build, seems less consistent and shocks+fetches are sort of anti-synergistic.

Also how does Boros Charm save you from Death Cloud ? Sacrifice gets around indestructibility.

oh that is true :[ hmm fuck maybe I will drop the red! I do like the pings in the deck though it does help a bit :D

I like the Melira, Sylvok Outcast for sideboard!

I think the more you streamline the deck the less you will be missing the pings. Do you think your higher curve and the creatures associated is worth cutting Squadron Hawk , Honor of the Pure , and Spectral Procession ?

You shouldn't have to worrie about infect. It's fallen off for one and you have chump blockers for days.

I think Honor of the Pure is good tbh I was just tired of seeing the exact same soul sister builds!

What are your thoughts on a couple Raise the Alarm to throw on your Isochron Scepter ?

I really like this btw, especially shoehorning the combo in there like that. Too much fun. I'm a midrange combo player through and through and this is right up my alley.

seriously it is alot of fun. I get alot of heat for not playing classic soul sisters :D Raise the Alarm is cool might be a nice little addition, I was thinking about changing it to Strionic Resonator

I'm seriously really liking the scepter. It inspired me to throw together this;

deck-large:a-scepter-for-my-sisters-junk.

As much as I like Lightning Helix I can't not play Orzhov Charm . There's too many good uses for the charms...even more so with Isochron Scepter

As far as Strionic Resonator goes I think the mana is better spent elsewhere.

The only trigger I'd really want to copy is the Archangel's (not that the other ones aren't options) but even then I'd rather have the mana up for protection. I know in my playgroup Archangel of Thune dies so fast it's not even funny.

Where's Norin the Wary ?

I have a great need for Norin the Wary I'll pop him in soon enough :D

At 21 lands good luck casting Triskelion

How many lands would you suggest someponyonfire

December 2, 2013 8:52 p.m.

Id just cut Triskelion for another Archangel of Thune or Spike Feeder if you want to go that route.

I'd add in more sources for green mana. 4 sources is risky when Spike Feeder needs 2 to be dropped.
