Time for something new, taking a break from my usual voltron/aggro and ramp/beatdown decks to try and win with monowhite lifegain.

After some deliberation Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant gets a trial as the commander. I hardly ever use enchantments so I want to make them the major theme. I'm putting in as many cards as I can that win the game by having X life. I want to defend myself from attack or being interacted with so I can just gain life. At the same time, I don't really want to play a hyper-oppressive prison deck.

So far wincons include Test of Endurance Felidar Sovereign a hilarious Storm Herd or Aetherflux Reservoir Kills.

I'm new to the lifegain game, so all advice comments and shared experiences are welcome! :-)
