As the title states. Exploit lifegain, stall, and eventually get a flipped Chalice of Life   for the win. If the Chalice of Life   won't get you there, Etched Champion, Batterskull, and Karn Liberated certainly will.

Moved Indomitable Archangel to the sideboard, because it's just too fallible to spot removal. It's decent to side in on a game two or beyond, assuming your opponents side in some sort of artifact hate.

Comments welcome!

UPDATE: Placed second in a modern tournament 3.29.12, losing only to a nasty grixis control deck, no one can beat that dude's deck, no one. Placed second in FNM on 3.30.12, losing only to a Mirran Crusader, Angelic Destiny type deck, where I made a MAJOR misplay for game three's game loss. The deck works!!
