{Ajani's Pridemate}: A card that needs no introduction in life gain. One of the best cards in the deck.
{Archangel of Thune}: I'm not quite sure why this isn't a staple for lifegain. I'm debating cutting the {Divinity of Pride} to complete the playset.
{Divinity of Pride}: A really solid card that can become a must answer threat.
{Heliod's Pilgrim}: Fetches {Sunbond} and {Angelic Destiny}.
{Rhox Faithmender}: Double up that life! It's also really good on defense while {Archangel of Thune} and co beat down.
{Soul Warden}: One of the staples for lifegain.
{Soul's Attendant}: See above. The may clause is why I run four of this and two of {Soul Warden}, though I've never had it matter.
{Vampire Nighthawk}: Quite possibly blacks best value for mana creature. It often eats removal the turn it comes down, but that just lets {Archangel of Thune} and other threats stick. One of the best cards in the deck.
{Angelic Destiny}: It's only a one of because it comes back most of the time and I can fetch it with {Heliod's Pilgrim} if I need to. I haven't played it too many times so I don't know if it's going to keep the slot.
{Chalice of Life}: I had it as a four of originally but I kept getting flooded with them. It's a really nice support card and if it flips the game is almost always mine.
{Orzhov Charm}: Removal, reanimation or saving a {Sunbond} and whatever it's on from removal. All in all an amazing card.
{Path to Exile}: If you're playing white in modern why aren't you running four?
{Phyrexian Arena}: I debated {Erebos, God of the Dead} for this slot but I don't have to pay mana if I run this and it costs less life. So far it has been good.
{Sunbond}: On {Archangel of Thune} or {Vampire Nighthawk} I have an evasive creature that at least doubles in size every turn. Even just throwing it on a small creature can make it massive. It's a create your own {Ajani's Pridemate}.
Against Delver and Burn it seems good but against any other matchup I feel like this deck may not be competitive idk jank like Pilgrim and Sunbond in Modern is not gunna be good.
Also your curve is high for only 22 lands
Just build soul sisters and splash black
This looks fun!
Mattao19: It's quite good vs Delver and Burn. I've also done well vs Affinity. I mean, I won so... Is it competitive? Kinda? That's why I'm posting it here and taking advice from you guys. I've done fairly well on Untap.In. Not sure what my record is but I have been winning games. I haven't played Pod or Scapeshift with it (I haven't played Scapeshift at all actually...) so I don't know how those matchups are.
{Heliod's Pilgrim} fetches {Sunbond} or {Angelic Destiny} then kindly gets in the way of whatever is going to kill me. Does that mean it's a five star card? Hell to the no. If you have a better card to fetch {Sunbond} and {Angelic Destiny} with I'm all ears. I'm debating cutting it for {Serra Ascendant} but I've found that {Serra Ascendant} is pretty bleh.
{Sunbond} is fantastic and when it works it demands removal or I win. Think about it. Lifelink + Flying + Sunbond. Creature doubles in size every turn, just if it's on its own beating down. Add {Archangel of Thune} or some other such thing (put it on {Archangel of Thune}!) and you get a massive creature. I can have it so I'm swinging for more than my opponent can deal in a turn or two and then I just beat down till they remove it or I win. If they remove it I generally got a fair boost of life at the expense of their's. It has been very good, however, if I end up in a control-y match and have nothing to put it on, it's a dead draw. I'm actually debating cutting the numbers to two or three if I keep {Heliod's Pilgrim}.
It kinda is high for 22 lands, but I keep getting mana flooded not screwed. Probably the fact that Untap.In hates me. I may add more or try to lower my curve.
Munchlax: No. I'm going to keep changing this until I have Soul Sisters splash black. :P But really this is based off a standard deck that I had that could really use the oomph of the cards Modern has to offer.
cltrn81: I have had tons of fun with this. It's really quite interesting to pilot.
I have a complete scapeshift built of you ever want to wall game. I did just get on untap.in so we can play that way sometime as well.
PM me tomorrow if you want. I work from home so I can make time after lunch (mornings are typically my busy time). I am in eastern time zone FYI
If you ever want to test against me playing whatever you choose or my current modern deck in progress (but pretty far along) PM me :)
Just because you can win a game against a competitive deck does not make your deck competitive
Also don't go by untap records lol I think I'm 18-2 on it with Valakut but in no way does that make me a king lol :P but good on ya for winning :P

Going with this I'm 10-1 with Bloom Titan but in reality my bloom Titan deck usually goes 6-4 or 3-7 At fnms

I know that, but being as I am winning that means the deck isn't complete garbage.
