People call this a win-more card, but the double-strike is a huge combat swing in a close game. Your opponent typically can't afford not to block, and the first strike will save your creatures in close match-ups.
I run a single copy of this in my current white deck, and it has swung the game for me on several occasions.
5/5

Sry but thats pretty stupid. Red is likely to be the most distant color in context of lifelink and there is rarely an ability that fits so well in white flavorwise. Geezus youre basically saying combat isnt white flavor. Open your mind - white is more than just defense.

Any comment on a card shows your ignorance of the color pie. The colors are defined as they are defined right now, you can't change that. Lifelink shouldn't be red just because 'it has do with combat'. I'm pretty sure red doesn't gain life often. If you'd like to change the entire history of magic than you might as well play a different game and stop whining about each and every card being off-color.

@Cheza: Right color. Double Strike is the epitome of 
goodness; expect either to have it.

This card is either dropped in regular games to win, or dropped in EDH to really *** off your opponents lol. I have a Mayael EDH deck running this, and usually by the time I drop it, 1-2 players are going to be killed. Everyone kept telling me what a horrible card it was, and that it wouldn't survive play long enough for me to use it...but every single game I've dropped it, I usually swing for the kill. 5/5 card, absolutely love it.
This is also the 6-drop in my 60 card soldier deck. Again, usually game-winning drop.

Curse you Wizards! Double strike is too good! And lifelink? This is game over if they don't kill it before your next attack. At least you HAVE to be running white alone or close to it.

It's good if the game lasts long enough for White to pull out 6 mana. =/ Definately not Standard friendly, but it will see use in Casual and EDH.
4/5 - Overall fun little card, but not fast enough to be uber competitive.

With this enchantment out, Ajani's Pridemate would deal an increased amount of damage than his first strike damage.
I would say that this enchantment is Timmy, but not necessarily only win-more. Other than the opponent dealing with this enchantment, the controller's smallest of dudes become high class, removal worthy, threats. A combat step could easily switch life totals around.

Works nicely with a deck full of shrouded green creatures.
