Try trimming it down. 159 cards is ALOT for a deck. To make it more consistant. You won't get the same cards every game. For lifegain to work, you need to start off early. Just a suggestion because my friend has a deck like this and he couldn't get anything to work. Maybe try splashing black and puttinig in things to make other players lose life or a fattie like {griselbrand}

{Chalice of Life} would work well too after you trim this. Have 4 of them, get decent life gain, then transform when @30 it turns into {Chalice of Death} and you can do some damage. It's a nice supplement to a life gain deck.

After you trim it i would make it solid white and add 4 {soul wardens} and 4 {suture priests}. Then it'll rock

After using Ajani's deck on dotp13, I too was playing around with a Legacy legal but casual Lifegain deck  Here is what I came up with:

1 {Beacon of Immortality}
2 {Test of Endurance}
3 {Oblivion Ring}
4 {Swords to Plowshares}
4 {Worthy Cause}
2 {Felidar Sovereign}
4 {Serra Ascendant}
4 {Ajani's Pridemate}
4 {Soul Warden}
4 {Knight of Meadowgrain}
4 {Nomads en-Kor}
4 {Task Force}
1 {Miren, The Moaning Well}
3 {Emeria, the Sky Ruin}
16 Plains

I also somehow want to fit these cards in:

4 {Soul's Attendant}
1 {Serra Avatar}
1 {Animal Boneyard}


Infinite Life with en-kor + Task Mage + Worthy Cause is amazing.  Add Red with {Fling} / {About Face} and you have infinite damage too, but this deck is all about lifegain.
