congrats on the vigilator!!

i know you don't love the white deck, but i have had a lot of success with life. I play the truth speaker (who has tank heal and cleanse as well at max level), the silvershield sheriff (who gets protect at level 6) and defender of truth at max level so i'm adding +6 shield. Then I have the loan boatman who repairs armor and I'm in pretty good shape in weak magic, flying, or no magic rulesets (of course in no magic I lose the defender of truth card).

I also really like spirit of the forest and crustacean king as healing monsters with protect.
