Any suggestions on cuts or swaps are appreciated.

Last cuts were Crested Sunmare and Suture Priest. I'm a fan of crested but needed a cut near the top of the curve. Suture Priest is great but I need consistent life gain more than I need to drain opponents. Will probably regret this once I see a Scute Swarm.

Decided to build a lifegain and +1/+1 counters deck. Slowly ticking off archetype boxes in my deck building.

Main goal is victory through combat damage but with an alt win-con of Test of Endurance if Plan-A goes wrong or becomes too tedious.

Deck requires lifegain triggers for numerous pieces to function and a decent board state of mostly creatures to win. Because Wrath of God is my worst enemy, there are several effects to temporarily grant my creatures indestructible. I have quite a few defensive and recovery pieces but I tend to try and build resilient decks.
