Chorus Line.

Description of deck by its author (quoted):
...On the other hand, you can pair Walker of the Grove with Angelic Chorus. Instead of dealing damage equal to its power (which will total 11 when evoked), you will gain life equal to its toughness (which is also 11). This makes Walker of the Grove into a super-charged Loxodon Hierarch, for some intents and purposes. By adding white, you gain access to some other ways to abuse the Walker's leaves-play ability (like Galepowder Mage) or simply cheat it into play (like Saffi Eriksdotter). Galepowder Mage is also excellent with Epochrasite, it can restock a Fertilid's lost counter, or get a face-up Krosan Cloudscraper into play without the unnecessary unmorphing rigmarole. Saltskitter will keep blinking in and out of play without the aid of a flying Kithkin, provided that you can keep play creatures. To take advantage of the extraordinary life-gain, there are plenty of options. Ajani Goldmane will let you (eventually) make huge tokens, Roiling Horror would be ideal if not for the necessary commitment to black, and Hoarder's Greed will allow you to draw a ton of cards as long as you can win some clashes. I opted for the latter, since it's very splashable and, heck, I don't think I've ever used it before and this seems like as good a place as any.
