Me and a few friends play magic, just casually, so our decks aren't that great.
His lifelink deck is really pissing me off, and I can't come up with a good budget deck idea. I made a coalition victory deck for fun but that usually wins turn 7 or 8, and by that time I've lost.
If you have burn in hand, use it on your opponents creature in response to being enchanted. This is the trick to beating him. Never tap out if he has a creature that you cannot kill if it is enchanted.
You may still get hit with his second turn 4/4 lifelinker nip gwillion (unless you enchant it with spirit link first), but drop pacifism on it and its no longer an issue. Thankfully, these cards can all enchant Mistmeadow Skulk aswell.
Throw in a few Recumbent Blisss to deal with his mid range threats like the hatching and kiyomoro, and gain back some life each turn.
All sources of damage in his deck are white, and he doesn't have enough creatures to be able to overcome a Rune with lots of plains in play. His deck thrives on making a few creatures huge and lifelink-y, not overwhelming you with a swarm, so the Rune (or CoP) is a great hoser.
You know his deck has 17 creatures, so pack your deck with enough answers to neuter each creature he casts (and wastes auras on).
Eventually, you'll have enough mana to use Rune/Circle of Protection to neutralize his attackers.
Once he's got a bunch of creatures on the board desperately trying to overcome your Rune/Circle of Protection, hit him with Martial Coup for 5+ and he will concede.
Put in a couple Demystify in case he manages to get Strength of Lunacy onto a creature before you can disable it, or have Rune of Protection in play.
Throw in some Spectral Processions for chump blockers if needed, or to fly over his pacified army for 3 damage a turn.
Well i would go a cheap white deck weenie against this for example
Critters
4x mother of runes
4x suntail hawk
4x soul warden
4x knight of meadowgrain
4x longbow archer
4x pegasus charger Other Spells
4x oblivion ring
4x unmake
4x disenchant
2x swords to plowshare
4x glorious anthem Lands
18 plains
Fun deck i played for a while there. nothing in this deck costs more than 3 mana to cast 12 critters have first strike so gang-bash em. use the mother of runes when attacking giving protection or for blocking. worked great for me and i still have this one constructed somewhere. even more fun soul warden gains you life so does the knight of meadowgrain a bit of payback.

My friends deck is...
12 Plains
12 Swamp
\\ CREATURES
2 Divinity of Pride
1 Knight of Meadowgrain
4 Mistmeadow Skulk
4 Nip Gwyllion
4 Voracious Hatchling
2 Descendant of Kiyomaro
4 Edge of the Divinity
2 Phyrexian Boon (no idea why he has this)
4 Strength of Lunacy
4 Unholy Strength
3 Daybreak Coronet
2 Fireshrieker
P.S. Don't flame me for failing hard.
wat.
Quite often he'll have a 5+ power creature attacking second or third turn.
wat.
With these things in mind, I suggest a red deck with this base:
4x Ensnaring Bridge
4x Lightning Bolt
4x Incinerate
4x Shock
4x Blood Knight
If you have burn in hand, use it on your opponents creature in response to being enchanted. This is the trick to beating him. Never tap out if he has a creature that you cannot kill if it is enchanted.
