• W/U Standard Deck built to counter a friend's fast/agro mono-black zombie token/death barron deck
• Central Focus of deck: generate small tokens for lifegain and beefing up Ajani's Pridemates, then turn Pridemates unblockable with Herald of Secret Streams or Suspicious Bookcase
• Cheap artifacts for lifegain, mana ramp and thopter generation
• Creature removal with Transmogrifying Wand (essential vs Death Barron/Diregraf Colossus) / Deputy of Detention (zombie token sweeper)
• Generate thopters with Sai, Master Thopterist / Tezzeret, Artifice Master / Dovin, Grand Arbiter
• Lifegain with Foutain of Renewal / Ajani's Welcome / Healer's Hawk / Dovin / Absorb
• Minor card draw with Treaseure Map / Curious Obsession / Tezzeret / Skyscanner

Trying to make my deck more consistent / less brittle vs a fast mono-black zombie token deck. Any advice for staying alive until i can get my thopter/lifegain factory going? I'm not looking for a competition ready deck, just some casual tips :)
