This deck is highly creature-based, focusing on lifegain shenanigans with the commander. Her best friends are Primal Forcemage, Rhox Faithmender, Panharmonicon, and Verdant Sun's Avatar. Wincons are Ajani, Valiant Protector for the ultimate, Felidar Sovereign, and Aetherflux Reservoir. With trample, Sunbond, Ajani's Pridemate, and Serra Avatar all become strong win conditions as well.

Recently, Trostani received a bunch of much-needed token support including Doubling Season, Crested Sunmare, Phyrexian Processor, and Angelic Accord.

The deck's biggest weakness is infect and commander damage. Creature-heavy as it is, the real threats are therefore evasion. Right now, my best answers are Swords to Plowshares and Beast Within or a preemptive boardwipe. Angelic Accord and Sandwurm Convergence help me there too, but the deck may need a larger quantity of answers.

I'm sticking to a relatively low budget which means updating the deck takes time, but some cards I know I want are Eternal Witness, Return to Dust, Huatli, Radiant Champion, and Shalai, Voice of Plenty to name a handful. Suggestions are most certainly welcome!
