This deck was not bad before, but with HOU's Crested Sunmare replacing Ajani's Pridemate it just became INSANE. Virtually every card gains me life, and then other effects take place due to that life gain.

The various cards interact in insane ways. With the Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest or Healer of the Pride, virtually every new creature on the battlefield gains me life. That life then gets me a 5/5 Horse token at every end step, handy for blocking if needed. The Increasing Devotion throw five 1/1 Human tokens on the field, or the Spectral Reserves throw two 1/1 Spirit tokes out there, which then all add life, which adds 5/5 indestructible Horse tokens, which then adds more life, and it just gets insane. Once you get the initial setup the deck just ramps itself up really fast.

Solemn Offering thrown in for some removal ability, along with Paraselene.

After playing this deck a couple of times, it proved to be susceptible to creature removal, so I threw in some Swamps and Disentomb to be able to bring back key players should they get removed.

Deck is REALLY successful when you get a Soul Warden and/or a Suture Priest in your initial draw. If you can get an Ajani's Pridemate out by turn 3 or 4 you're laughing, and then Crested Sunmare becomes almost redundant but a great turn 6-8 killing stroke, as you're likely going to be 60+ life and you'll likely have one or two 20+/20+ Ajani's Pridemate's on the battlefield by that point... so adding indestructible horses every turn just makes the end game certain.
