It's basically a life gain deck with exalted and trample.

Pumping Ajani's Pridemate with Soul's Attendant is great. But why not go all the way by having more pumping power with Exalted. Focus the Exalted pump of cards like Akrasan Squire (and even Rhox Bodyguard for bonus counters) on a Pridemate and add in some Trample and go wild and screw blocks. Landing Rafiq and Battlegrace Angel also gives another boost with Double Strike and that Lifelink. Additionally, Bant Battlemage gives you more options to trample over them or simply fly past them and give you blockers against flyers. Dropping all your Exalted plus Soul's Attendant will surely give Pridemate so much pump.

Overall, It packs a lot of punch and gives you many blockers (because you're mostly gonna use the other cards for Exalted) but very risky since you're only pumping one creature at a time. So, protection from creature spells is key. I'm not sure what to put for sorceries and instants so I just put them as sideboard.

I'm somehow new to Magic and this is my first homebrew so recommendations are very much welcome. Thank you!
