MTG Salvation

So I've noticed all of the red/white cards that do three damage and heal for three life and that just appeals to me for some reason. One card in particular, the Firemane Avenger, really appeals to m e. Reoccurring effects like that just seem awesome. However, I'm really having a hard time filling in the deck. Help!

So far what I've come up with:



Do I go a lot of little guys and go battalion? Do I toss in a bunch of the new red/white soldiers? Do I put in more mana and hit up the bigger red/white angels? Do I go more creatures or more control? I have no idea.

Some stuff benefits from life gain, some gives you life gain,

• Boros Charm
  
• Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
  
• Boros Reckoner

Your initial list is mostly 3-4 mana cards. I'd probably top the curve with Assemble the Legion or similar at 5 mana (only 2 copies or so), and make the rest of the deck 1-2 mana cards. Considerations include Daring Skyjek, Goblin Guide, Firedrinker Satyr, Imposing Sovereign, Leonin Arbiter, Kor Skyfisher, Lightning mauler, Mogg flunkies, Serra Avenger, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Truefire Paladin, Wojek Halberdiers, and Student of Warfare.

You could also look at cheap token generators for the batallion trigger, and battlecry to synergize with batallion.

Edit: I saw that adambelcher88 suggested Boros Charm. I second this. The indestructible mode will be very useful for triggering the battalion creature threshold.
