Even where it could be justified to put in [[Regna the Redeemer]] and [[Krav the Redeemed]], those cards break the low curve of the deck."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Avoids getting too diffuse with direction. By this I mean that lifegain decks can often try to gain life in all the ways--it's a theme with multiple ways of gaining life that can be subthemes. But the deck stays focused on tokens + soul sister synergies for lifegain. Additionally, there's a recognition that the deck can gain enough life without getting greedy with doublers like [[Rhox Faithmender]] or [[Boon Reflection]]."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"It's well-balanced. While my suggestions lie in adding a little more ramp and card draw, the deck is well-balanced. It will draw cards. It will ramp. It will implement its strategy. There will be games it loses, because others beat you to the punch, but the deck will always be ready to do what it wants to do."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"There are some punch out lines. I'm not typically one to go for the Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood combo, there is recognition with that and even the [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] that sometimes you need the option to just punch out the game."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"[[Teysa Karlov]] for the token support, not the death triggers. Though there are a couple death triggers she will see, the fact that there are a lot of tokens and she gives them vigilance and lifelink ensures we get life to trigger Karlov and provides space to be a little more aggressive."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSome things I'd change--though I will note my suggestions are limited:\nAs stated above, I would try to reach 10 with my card draw and ramp (which my minor edits have done). I did find myself setting up and occasionally wanting a little extra mana or a couple extra cards when I goldfished the original."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I would drop the smaller packages.
