Said on Defender Lifegain... Lets …...
#1Hello, thank you for listing this very interesting deck. I've been thinking about a similar idea, combining Defenders and Lifegain.
I really like the Angelic theme with Angelic Accord, Luminarch Ascension and Angelic Wall. Very flavourful! I see Seraph Sanctuary in your Maybeboard and think it would only add to this strong flavour.
The Pride Guardian and Wall of Essence haven't turned out to be strong cards in my experience, because they rely on your opponent attacking you to proc the lifegain. Although I suppose that does work very well with Luminarch Ascension, since it discourages your foes to attack you.
Perimeter Captain is a strong enough card on its own and is exempt from this, and may even encourage you to run other good defenders which don't gain life, such as: Wall of Omens and Jeskai Barricade, the later of which by the way is a much needed combat trick, which the deck is currently light on.
A card you may wish to consider is Archangel of Thune, although its expensive! Another is Dawn of Hope.
In any case I wish you luck with the deck and thank you for inspiring some changes in my own build.
