If you can combo off some lifegain you can set up some serious board presence very quickly

This is an incredibly cheap deck, (under $50) that can pop out some surprisingly big creatures for a win out of nowhere.
With a first turn eidolon, second turn you can use an ordeal or an ethereal armor, so you can swing in with some early hits that they probably will hesitate in blocking.
It's also best not to over extend unless you can see the quick win in front of you. (Mana screw/missed land drop)
Bump
watch out for {supreme verdicts}. you might want to play some {rootborn defenses} main/sideboard. also, this deck dies easily to an overloaded {cyclonic rift}, so watch out for those to. You should play the GW scryland when it is released in born of teh gods, i think its temple of plenty.
Rootborn could work, for supreme verdict. Overloaded rift isn't a problem coz the game won't last long enough for 7 mana (most of the time)
Was intrigued by this idea and did some testing, seems that ordeal of nylea ran counter to what you're trying to do. I would replace it with some more one and two drop creatures to get more creatures out there. Agreed with above, destruction and board white was difficult to deal with with this deck.
I also would think about pithing needle for combo decks or decks that rely on activated abilities that can run fast.
Thoughts?
{rootborn defenses} is not great in this deck at all. There is nothing to populate, whatsoever. I have built a deck like this a while ago and. {ready // willing} is perfect and very amazing in this type of deck. Run it and you will see :). Also I would change some things around and replace, but not quite sure yet... Get back to you on that.
Actually nowhere near enough creatures to survive, even with all the life gain.

I usually forget about read/willing when giving advice about supreme verdict, good idea.
Lol,,yeah card is too good when used at the right time.... Well it's good no matter when you cast it, just makes it better when used at right time
