The aim is to recur Mirrorpool. You basically want your Mirrorpool to fire for every single summon you do. If you can fire it off for every single spell you cast too then go you.

Right, I agree with you. But Emeria Shepherd has the upside of bringing back your creatures which have pretty nice on-summon effects. And it isn't that costly so providing you with the recursion ability and a 4/4 creature at the same time is nice. Starfield of Nyx may not take up a creature slot but it usually compels you to fit in at least five supports including itself for any consistency in hitting the +5/+5 bonus. If Mirrorpool is on the list you probably need to add another support, which leaves you with few slots for creatures and spells anyway.

Creatures (4) Serene Steward Resolute Blademaster Kor Entanglers Drana's Emissary Spells (1) Smite the Monstrous Supports (5) Starfield of Nyx Oath of Gideon Prairie Stream Hixus, Prison Warden Retreat to Emeria Basically, I think I was trying to make a lifegain pump deck without a Lantern Scout (still don't have), and it's just gotten...well, messy. Aside from somehow trying to save this deck, my two thoughts are to either turn this into an Angel deck or a Human deck, to take advantage of some of the new SoI cards I've picked up. For a Human deck, I'm thinking... Creatures (2) Odric, Lunarch Marshal Hanweir Militia Captain Spells (2) Declaration in Stone Ethereal Guidance Supports (5) Starfield of Nyx Hixus, Prison Warden Prairie Stream Hope Against Hope Valor in Akros After that, I'm not even sure on the 10th card...maybe throw Serene Steward back in? (I didn't intend for that to stay at 5 supports, but somehow it did...at least they're mostly cheap....) For a possible Angel deck, I'm thinking... Creatures (2) Archangel of Tithes Odric (thinking Archangel may help as a battery to get this out faster?) Spells (3) Declaration in Stone Lithomancer's Focus Ondu Rising Supports (5) Starfield of Nyx Sigil of the Empty Throne Prairie Stream Hixus, Prison Warden Hope Against Hope (Starfield/Prairie/Hixus are just such useful cards to keep throwing in...) Sigh...still very "meh" on all three of these options. Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Here is the deck: Creatures War Oracle Knight of the White Orchid Consul's Lieutenant Reflector Mage Runaway Carriage Spells Scour From Existence Supports Corrupted Graftstone Knightly Valor Silver Strike Grasp of the Hieromancer I try to get Consul's Lieutenant or Knight out and buff as soon as possible with Gideon's first ability then back up with War Oracle for a basic strategy. These are cards I have that seem like they might fit in the deck but unsure what would be best or what to replace: Relic Seeker Sigil of the Empty Throne Anointed of Champions Gideon's Reproach Drownyard Temple Sigil of Vigor Rogue's Passage Smite the Monstrous Sword of the Animist Swift Reckoning Murder Investigation Any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance!
