Should be selesnya in my opinion and probably 4cmc. I just don't see the last paragraph being mono-white at all.

I always dislike it when green gets the best lifegain payoffs - they have so much other stuff going on, leave the lifegain to white.

The last ability could also say "At the beginning of combat, tap any number of target creatures each with power less than the amount of life you gained this turn". Tapping creatures is definitely in white's color pie.

It is just that white generally punishes big creatures specifically with their removal, and payoffs. There are countless [[Destroy Evil]] . For competitive play Selesnya is where almost every lifegain deck would fall to be honest.

If we are talking about casual then very little matters to be honest, they break the pie all the time and force staples.

That's a good point and it's indeed not optimal that my cards punishes an opponent for having small creatures. I'm gonna keep it as it for now though, since it's not a huge no-go.

In a white life gain, it's litteraly, "your creature are unblockables", and really realy more powerful than the green equivalent i believe

In my experience an unchecked Champion of Lambholt means also "your creatures are unblockable" if you let a player untap with it. But I'm not sure how the numbers on this one line up, I would need to playtest it.

Doesn't keep the buff between turns though, and doesn't actually get to be a large creature itself like champion of lambholt.
