Goal of the deck is to turn on Chalice of Death ASAP by getting to 30 life. I do this with cards like Ordeal of Heliod. Ordeal has a good Interaction with Ajani's Pridemate where the +1+1 counters he gets, count towards the 3 needed in order to Sacrifice Ordeal. But sometimes, because of the board state I might not be able to get the Ordeal trigger off naturally. So that's why I've included the Claws of Gix to force the sacrifice.

Combined with creatures who also strengthen from life-gain. So it could also be a sort of beat down deck and can surprisingly aggressive.

No Path's to Exile because it's kinda pricey. Most of these cards I already have, and what is nice about Celestial Flare is that it can get rid of those pesky Hexproof and Indestructable Creatures. I went a little heavy into the removal because it takes time to for me to set this up.

I'd love some thoughts and feedback! What's wrong with this deck, and what does it need? This isn't for Tournaments, just to beat my friends with, and actually compete at FNM.
