Notes

Obviously we're trying to gain as much life as possible
Perimeter Captain + Guard Gomazoa = much life gain
Survival Cache should net 2 cards + 4 life
Elixir of Immortality to return junk from graveyard + 5 life
Several Wincons:
Serra Ascendant
Felidar Sovereign
Ajani's Pridemate
Luminarch Ascension (SB)

This is basically a copy of my W Lifegain deck, with blue splashed for counters/bounce. I hated cutting Wall of Omens (and I may put it back in and make room for the Gomazoa on the SB)

This U/W version can handle fliers and planeswalkers MUCH easier, and it has counters, so this might be the more stable of the decks..

Not bad, not bad at all.

Sweet deck.

How efficient is the deck against some of the big decks? Or is it for casual play? I'm actually interested in how Guard Gomazoa behaves :) .
