Gonna start out by saying that I really like your choice on deck route. B/W Lifegain/leach has always been a favorite of mine. Alright, enough of that. Let's move onto the deck. Also, I just want you to know that everything I say is just a suggestion and can be ignored completely. This is your deck so I don't want you to feel obligated to listen to me.

Suggestions: Add

• Retreat to Hagra - Basically let's you extort for one every time you drop a land. Get's kinda stupid if you have multiple on the field.
• Harsh Sustenance - I know it's rotating soon, but in an ally deck like this, where the objective is to get out as many allies as possible, this card is awesome. Especially as a three drop in the late game, where you might upwards of 5 allies on the field.
• Vampire Envoy + Zulaport Chainmage "Combo"- This one is kind of a janky combo, but it's a fun one. Vampire Envoy is a creature that gives you life for tapping it, and Zulaport Chainmage one is a creature that deals damage to opponents for tapping it and something else. since you'll have a ton of other creatures on the battlefield anyway, it's pretty much free damage.

Suggestions: Move

• Zulaport Cutthroat- I'd suggest moving most of these to you sideboard. Unless you yourself are actively trying to kill off your own creatures for your own benefit, he's not an amazing creature to have with the strategy your going for. He'd seems better as something to sideboard in against a deck that's specifically targeting your creatures.
• Gideon, Ally of Zendikar + Sorin, Grim Nemesis - I'd swap one for the other. Sorin is good, but Gideon let's you take advantage of rally triggers. So I'm not saying one is better than the other, I just feeling having at least one of each mainboard would help in two different ways.
