You know you only get one pridemate trigger per roc, not per attacker, right?

Yep. It's every time you gain life. Any other suggestions?

{Sunbond} cause holy crap that's an amazing card in decks like this. I'd seriously consider running four.

I was looking for lifelink. Thinking about replacing with the outlast guy that gives counters from khans.

I like the staff because in a mono color deck it can basiclly run the game. Especially one that can utilize the life gain.

Just making sure. :)

Do you need both suspension field and banishing light? Maybe play {abzan falconer}?

I like the falconer. If I add three do you think gods willing should switch to  {Feat of Resistance}?

You don't have any 3cc outside of {banishing light}, might I suggest some of these
{Devouring light}
{Hushwing gryff}
{Solemn offering} SB option
{Spear of heliod}
{Watcher of the roost}

Also, you might have a tough time hitting your 5th land drop for {wingmate rock}, you may want to have 23 lands

Thanks, ive made a few updates, will post a little later. I'm curious to test between the falcon and watcher of the roost. Seems like it could be a fun combat trick with pridemate / sunbond.  Thanks again.

Updated. Thanks everyone for all the help. Seems like this could be a lot of fun to play. Tons of good synergy!  And lifegainz!
