If your playing Soldiers and you want life gain, try Noble Purpose.

If you're playing soldiers and you want life gain, try forgetting about it and just winning instead.

This card has been pretty useful for me in casual. It's not mythically awesome, but consider: it's a Sacred Nectar attached to a 3/4 vanilla. Not bad for 5CMC. Your opponent will think twice before bouncing it. If you have a way to get it back into your hand, you can up the lifegain. I have this in a deck with Narrow Escape, and they combo quite nicely - if it dies from combat or is removed, bounce it for 4 lifegain, cast it next turn for another 4 lifegain. That's 12 lifegain, which could easily extend your game by 1-2 turns. I like this guy.
