Basic idea is to weaponise lifegain by turning it into a means with which to add lots of counters to creatures, Shalai and Hallar then turns that into damage. With the amount of life the deck can gain it hopefully ensures the deck regularly gets running by extending games due to constantly increasing your life total.

This was primarily inspired by my modern deck The Exponential Wurm Of Life
