Norin trouble! // $50 Wary soul sisters (Modern MTG Deck)

Basic Idea: Have creatures entering the battlefield a lot. This triggers a lot of lifegain, which in turn gets Ajani to an absurdly strong creature, or just deals flat out direct damage. A bit of control/protection is included as O-ring and Rootborn Defenses.

This is of course by no means a Tier 1 Modern deck, but as mostly a budget non-tournament builder, I can only suggest a few cards that would make it better, listed at the bottom. There are also multiple other Norin Sisters decks on the site. I hope you enjoy playing!

Card Choices:

Ranger of Eos would be brilliant, but also too expensive at the current stage. Lightning Berserker is a means to still have a reliable 'norin' to draw into.
Suture Priest could be considered, it is a fun way to make opponents suffer more damage with Genesis Chamber and another lifegainer for Pridemate.
Champion of the Parish is sometimes out as I don't have the Ranger of Eos reliable way to draw into Norin. Non-recurring counters and a deck that's only half humans makes him sadly average at best.
The Maybeboard contains some of these cards which you can play around with, depending on your budget.

I want it better!

Replace Impact Tremors with Purphoros, God of the Forge or Outpost Siege
Add Ranger of Eos
Replace Oblivion Ring with Path to Exile
Replace Mountain and Plains with Arid Mesa, Sacred Foundry and/or Clifftop Retreat
Add Proclamation of Rebirth
Final Deck Price: I don't want to know >.<

Lightning Berserker the Wary — May 20, 2015

Why hello there, card that I completely missed when you were released!
Lightning Berserker is 'Norin 5-8', and can trigger Champion of the Parish more. Woo!
Added instead of suture priest, the extra damage the opponent takes when summoning creatures was not good enough, even with genesis chamber.
When adapting to use Ranger of Eos their number can be reduced a bit, it's too mana intensive to have more than 2 berserkers going in most cases
