This deck is my first attempt to build something entirely from scratch, Originally it was Mono White but not only did I like the effects of the Graypelt Refuge  and Sapseep Forest  I felt adding some of the other green cards you see in the deck couldn't hurt. Please provide some critiques, some card suggestions, etc. Thank you!
Creatures 23 3x Pride Guardian  3x Soul Warden  3x Ajani's Pridemate  2x Glittering Lion  3x Horned Cheetah  4x Felidar Sovereign  1x Phantom Nishoba  3x Essence Warden  1x Arctic Nishoba  Spells 15 3x Ajani's Mantra  2x Recumbent Bliss  2x Solemn Offering  2x Angel's Mercy  2x Alpha Status  2x Sylvan Bounty  2x Behemoth Sledge  Mana 22 3x Graypelt Refuge 3x Sapseep Forest 2x Evolving Winds  2x Forest  12x Plains  Other Good Cards Life Burst  Grizzled Leotau  Glittering Lynx  Hunting Cheetah  Jedit's Dragoons  Krosan Vorine  Noble Panther  Qasali Ambusher  Strategy
The strategy is to get over 40 Life and then Cast Felidar Sovereign . The Wards are cheap so you can play them right off the bat and every creature afterwards catches you a cool 1 life, ontop of their life gaining effects. Pretty much everycard has some sort of life gaining effect so getting to 40 life shouldn't be too hard and with 4 of the Felidar Sovereign you're almost guaranteed to see it in a game. Now I still added the Behemoth Sledge and Alpha Status along with the 2 Nishobis because if facing a deck that happens to drain my life as fast as I can gain it, I'll still have enough powerful creatures and spells to win the game solely on damage. I included some other cat creatures that are powerful in the Other Good Cards section because I contemplated puting them in the deck but didnt because the didn't have any life gaining effects but I thought maybe someone would suggest that they were better than a different card or maybe could use them as a jumping off point for suggestions. thank you!

I would get rid of the green. It really doesn't bring much to the table. YOu can take the Graypelt Refuge for Kabira Crossroads  . Any life gain deck has Serra Ascendant  in it. Also you could use some board control. I suggest you try chastise  . Since you have alot of 1 mana creatures a card like congregate  should be in. It will net you a ton of life. If you can afford Ajani Goldmane  i would consider putting him in. Also one the best life gain cards is Martyr of Sands  . But to really make her effective you need Proclamation of Rebirth  . But another alternative is Scent of Jasmine  . Since you will be gaining a bunch of life, a card like Well of lost dreams  could help draw some cards. Elixir of Immortality  is nice once you use all your spells to replenish your library.

To be honest I would take out almost all your cards and start over. the only ones worth saving are Solemn offering  and felidar sovereign  imo. FYI it's not cheap making a life gain deck. I will post a deck list later. i have some things to do. IN the mean time i do have a life deck though my win con was Test of Endurance  instead of Felidar, if you look at the bottom of my post, there is a sig multi player decks but it can be played in single play too. it might give you some ideas.

Alright im back. after thinking this over a little, Here is a sample deck list of what your deck could look like. I used some the cards shown from your list, ones i suggested and threw in a few others that i didn't think about earlier. 16 x Plains 4 x Kabira Crossroads 2 x Emeria, the sky ruin  Creatures 4 x Serra Ascendant 4 x Martyr of Sands 4 x Felidar Sovereign 3 x Soul Warden 4 x Kami of false hope  Spells 2 x Solemn Offering 2 x Well of lost Dreams  3 x Proclamation of Rebirth 4 x Chastise  1 x Elixir of Immortality 2 x Congregate  4 x Life Burst Planeswalker 1 x Ajani Goldmane the sky ruin helps with graveyard recurruison and the false hope is a fog.

Sweet thanks a ton guys!!!!! greenmeenie you wouldnt put Ajani's Mantra , Recumbent Bliss , or Ajani's Pridemate in the deck though? with 4 Ajani's mantra thats 4 life every turn and then with the recumbent bliss its not only creature control but its another 1 life each upkeep and then Ajani's Pridemate would gain a possible of +6/+6 every single upkeep. Also your only allowed 1 Planeswalker per deck right?

Mantra? No it's not very good. Bliss? I like this for this deck actually. Pick whichever creature is going to be hard to stop with your creatures and shut it down while gaining 1 life a turn. Not bad especially for a cheap common. Pridemate? I think he's good. Go with it. Greenmeanie I agree that is quite a good decklist. If he did that I'm sure it would work as well. If you kept green you could make it work quite well. Some nice examples off the top of my head are Kitchen Finks  , Heroes' Reunion  , Ageless Entity  , Loxodon Hierarch  . My personal way to take this deck, would be an aggressive green white aggro deck with a back-up win condition of soverign as your endgame bomb choice. If your not at 40, its a solid beater, and if you are u win the game. Still, with this approach I think it would be rare you won from that before killing them or getting controlled and/or dying. I'm a little stumped on how to really make a control deck that can stall them out long enough to make the soverign your primary win condition. I think greenmeanie is pretty close but to me its just not a deck I think I could make work very well.

You can have more than one planeswalker in a deck but you can only have one out at a time. In my meta game, most of the time you only need one because for some reason no one attacks them but when i see one bye bye.
