@DR1V1R Those list are a bit old about when Sunmare first came out I think. I have not heard or seen much since but honestly i do not see many SoulSisters decks getting played either.

could be good as a 2 of in the black splash decks.
I finally was able to afford the last few pieces of my soul sisters deck. The drop in prices of Archangel of Thune and Auriok Champion as a result of Iconic Masters really helped. I played a few games tonight and had a great time. The uncomplicated and inexpensive mana base is very appealing to me too.
very glad to hear you had fun and like the deck. what version are you playing? So sad my card value depreciated but if it brings in more players and more decks I guess I can live with it .
This is my deck.
It was particularly fun playing an Archangel of Thune with 2 Soul Wardens and a Soul’s Attendant already on the battle field. Talk about counters all over the place.
Your list is very much the mono-white list that should generate the most success in its consistency, so kudos to you on that. Glad we can help and welcome to the forum!
Someone brought up Mentor of the Meek, and I've never had much success with him. He doesn't do enough when he impacts the board. I've always imagined that an Infiltration Lens on a Pridemate makes for a good move. You're either giving him evasion or getting CA. Never tested it, though.
I tried Infiltration lens. Sounds good in theory, but in application they just path/kill the cat. If they do not kill the cat they will be dead in a few turns any way. As the cat eats blockers and your other small guys get in for damage.
CA seems to come from the graveyard revivals. CA can come from Spectral Procession or Lingering souls. Card draw is a bit harder, splashing black can get you some good cards( night's whisper, ), but really the deck runs pretty good without the extra fuss.
The thing is, they're going to kill the cat if they have removal anyway, though. At that point, another creature can pick up the Lens and continue to go to work getting in free damage. It's obviously not ideal, but if you're really interested in CA and don't want to splash colors, it's a plan. Though, I agree 100% that the best CA we'll get is Lingering Souls) or Squadron Hawk, and we don't really need CA to do what we do.
My worry about that infinite life combo is that even though it's able to go off without a sister (which our other infinite combo, Leonin Relic-Warder and Phyrexian Metamorph, can't do), the two pieces aren't amazing without the other.
With that combo you would not want to replace Archangel of Thune but leave 2 copys in to create big creatures off of the lifegain triggers.
A better use for infinite life with this combo Aetherflux Reservoir to give you another win condition.
To go into unfair territory, I may pick the parts for this up and give it a try. What do you guys think? I know there's been more discussion on the reddit than here, and that's awesome, but I'd like to know the thoughts of folks I trust. What do you guys say?
played a guy at my LGS. He was running this for fun, I was playing B/W Tokens. I asked him about the deck and how it performed. He played a stock version with giddeon ally of Zendikar. He said he played 50+ games with it on MTGO and the win rate was 50%. The swords ate needed and played very well as defensive mechanics as an answer to spells on the stack.
I think I surprised him by knowing every card in his deck. him T1 quest, I start laughing, "oh your playing that deck." I forgot to ask how he did for the night. My guess is not great. He did have other players confused with what deck he was on and how to answer it.
@Lilletblanc, I have not tried runed halo . It is out of my price range. I believe it is mentioned in the primer on page 1 of this forum. I highly recommend a read through of it, it is updated and still very relevant.
In my opinion halo would be a good sideboard card as it hits many target decks. What to cut and how many to play for the 75 is your call.
I find the deck is good even without it. Most decks have more than 1 win condition so halo only protects against half a strategy.
Has anyone ever tried Angelic Accord ? My son is always browsing cards on SryFall and when he saw this he thought it might be a good addition to my Soul Sisters deck. I think its probably too slow at 4CMC and would require removing something....
@the doad; you are right at 4 mana it is too slow and requires removing something. Also the deck does not produce 4 life each turn consistently.
There are much better 4 drops that aid the deck. The problem with Angelic Accord is the card does nothing by it's self.
I have played Accord in other decks similar to soul sisters but those decks generated 4 life per players turn. bubbling cauldron
Angelic accord is a fun card but is slow and works well in a prison/control shell.

oathsworn vampire + spear of heliod + elemental bond = card draw
but only in fantasy dream world
I would love more card draw. Ranger is alright. I have been using deck thinning to try to get the goods.
Edit; mentor of the meek

Welcome to the deck and the forum.
I would recommend +1 honor the pure main deck, and 2 Auriok Champion , brave the elements to protect your combo pieces sideboard
