This deck is full of mostly lifelink creatures and using the ability of cradle of vitality (though I don't know the rules on it, if someone can explain i'll be really grateful. Especially when the counters are placed on the creature)
How are you going to get Glory into the graveyard again?
Also, for your big finisher, why no Divinity of Pride? It'd do a lot of good here. If you don't want to run enough Felidars to make pulling him possible, just run Divinitys instead (though, Felidar is probably more bang for the buck, here. You hit 40 life and if it survives until your upkeep you just win).
You know that Cradle can function in multiples, right? If you run four and pull two during the course of a game you can pay four mana and put TWO +1/+1 counters on a creature for each one life you gained. That's right- pay 6 mana through Rest for the Weary (landfall'd, of course), then 4 to the Cradles' triggers and you'd put 16 +1/+1 counters on a single creature, or 8 on two different ones. It requires very minimal setup in order to be effective, so I strongly feel you should four up on Cradles. Four Rest for the Weary doesn't sound so bad either- with a Cradle out and four mana open (not hard in casual) you have a steady combat trick waiting. =D
Why is Luminarch Ascension in here, anyway? I don't see methods of you staving away from being dealt damage or avoiding losing life. >_>; I suggest you take it out.
Oblivion Ring, though it's sorcery speed, has better all around utility than Unmake. Run 4 Oblivion Rings, drop Unmake entirely.
Armored Ascension is a decent card, but reeks of card disadvantage. Since you have no way of dumping Glory into the graveyard to use his ability at will, I'd suggest removing costly aura spells that will lead to you being 2for1'd. Besides that, with more Cradles and Rest for the Weary, you'll be putting a lot more counters on than Armored Ascension could give in +X/+X.
Oh yeah! Before I forget: Don't run Spirit Link. Run Spirit Loop. It's better! Much better! It comes back to your hand if your dude dies.
If you want a list of really good Lifelink creatures:
Rhox War Monk. Not mono white, but one of the best creatures printed with Lifelink on it. Hell, the guy gets played in Legacy Zoo!
Vampire Nighthawk. Not white at all, but he's evasive- something your other Lifelinkers don't have. I'd suggest removing Hearthfire for him, and then adding some Swamps to your mana base.
Summary:
Remove Spirit Link for Spirit Loop.
Add another Cradle, and more Rest for the Weary (or a better instant-speed life gain spell, if you have it).
Remove Unmake for more Oblivion Rings.
This deck is full of mostly lifelink creatures and using the ability of cradle of vitality (though I don't know the rules on it, if someone can explain i'll be really grateful. Especially when the counters are placed on the creature)
Also if if I'm correct spirit link and lifelink do stack the life gained.
Thank you.
All suggestions and advice is welcomed
Once again I am on a budget, but suggestions on all cards are welcomed.
P.S i wish i had a baneslayer....lol
I would recommend Goldenglow Moth. It combos great with Cradle. Once you block with it, gain the life, and it pay the cradle cost and it becomes a 4/5.
Divinity of Pride is a creature that can abuse the deck for a lot as well. Deathbringer Liege seems like it would do okay, but then you'd be turning it into more of B/W Life Drain. Which although IMO is a stronger deck, may not be the direction you would want to take.
Wouldn't Goldenglow moth most likely die though? I'll think about it
Thanks for the all suggestion I got a lot to change
No, not if you have cradle out. You declare moth as a blocker, which gains you 4 life, then you activate cradle's ability, and the counters get put on the moth before combat damage is dealt.
You gain life from the moth when he is declared as a blocker.

Also, I believe lifelink is errata'ed so it no longer stacks (stacking was awesome with Genju of the Fields which could be activated multiple times).
