Your basic lifegain deck, lots of gain and drain abilities. This deck is purely for FNM fun, so (although it would be great if it is) it doesn't need to be competitive, however I have used it multiple times at my FNM and although it might just be luck, I've top 8'd twice. The mana base is very budget, I know, but the evolving wilds actually smooth it out really well and I don't usually mulligan. Any suggestions would be great!

Some good combos:

Heroes' Reunion + Vizkopa Guildmage for +7 and 7 damage

Heroes' Reunion + Voracious Wurm for a 9/9 turn 4

Nyx-Fleece Ram + Ajani's Pridemate for constant 1/1 counters

Ajani's Pridemate + bestowed Hopeful Eidolon for counters and Angelic Accord for an angel every turn.

Also thinking of adding a bloodbaron mainboard since it is an unbelievably good card, however I don't know if 5 mana is pushing it?
