I'm excited to see where you go with this, especially as you flesh out your primer some more. Just a few ideas off the top:

• Vault of the Archangel - Helpful in a pinch if you have the mana for it, but I think has some extra value in this deck as a quick life gain anthem for your board.

• Serra Ascendant would be a great aggro threat for this deck, if not too on the nose lol.

• Lunar Convocation - Seems like it could be a decent value fit with everything your deck wants to do.

• The Gaffer could be a consistent draw piece

• Celestine, the Living Saint - More Betor redundancy.

• Witch of the Moors offers some removal and redundancy to Betor.

Thanks for the suggestions NV_1980, but I'm less concerned with gaining life in general and more so focused on gaining life solely on your own turn to power up the main wincon: Sorin, Ravenous Neonate  ^Flip's -1. As such, cards like Kambal, Consul of Allocation and Sunscorch Regent are often far less important since they tend to grant life on your opponent's turns. This can potentially be good with cards like The Gaffer but doesn't do much for Sorin. I did want to add Kingpin's Pet and maybe Knight of Obligation too but I'm not sure what to remove.

Beebles There are a few that seem great, like The Gaffer and Gwaihir, Greatest of the Eagles. Gwaihir giving Trelly flying when we attack seems great, and its another token producer. I think we have enough separate life gain triggers that often hitting 3 shouldn't be an issue.

Treebeard, Gracious Host seems strong but expensive at 4cmc, Arwen, Mortal Queen combos nicely with Trelly as well.
