I was hoping someone could take a look at my combo it's basilisk collar opalescence and lightmine field and give me some feedback on what you think it's pretty nasty on stopping an attack but I'm starting to wonder if I should keep opalescence and pair circle of flame with it rather than lightmine field circle cost's 2 less mana but it does introduce a new color........any thoughts....the name of the combo is life's killer defense

Keep Lightmine Field but add in protection from white.

it works-though it locks you down as well, and since white is not really known for noncombat wincons you are missing a card for it.  like lin said pro-white will work, other options are mark of asylm or light of sanction

Personally though, I'm not a fan, your using 4 cards to lock down you and your opponent when blazing archon locks just your opponent, also ghostly prison or norn's annex can do close to the same thing  forcing them to play or attack, especially throwing in a manaweb.

in addtion the opalsence/lightmine is subject to alot more forms of removal then any off what i mentioned, your opponent will just sit back build his army waiting to draw removal and then thats it. 

But if you want to make lightmine work I would suggest using deathpits of rath, you don't need opalsence or the collar and since you are going in black, you have a variety of options to kill your opponent without creatures so the field doesn't affect you

I agree with most of that but you said 4 cards this is only 3 I hope you didn't take it as circle of flame being in the combo archon doesn't give the upside of killing creatures if they attack or gaining you life but the deathpit sounds like it might have to be considered

As I said in the first linei feel you need another card to take advantage of the combo hence the 4 cards
As for the archon yes it does not kill attacking creatures it prevents them from attack. Which is what your combo does, as there are not many players who will attack when they know you can kill all attackers. Though I suppose you can add gidion to force the attack

I like what you had to say about gidion I think you see why I brought up the death and life gain now I love having defense but I love gaining life for killing a persons creatures even more especially by a forced attack though I usually go with something like a master warcraft or something along those lines so I have a lot of control in what happens when it happens
