Hello there, my first advice would be to cut your down so it's closer to sixty cards and so you can add some more lands as you need more than 16 in a deck with this many cards. Here are some possible cuts you could make, Archers' Parapet, Centaur Healer, Reassembling Skeleton, Vampire Neonate, Vernadi Shieldmate, Moment of Craving, March from the Tomb, Providence, and Pack's Favor are all possible cuts at first glance. Hope this is helpful and happy tapping:)

Just to mention, the situation 2 from Argy's post will not happen as described.

If you have a Goblin Banneret and a Boros Challenger and 0 available mana, while you control a 1/1 White soldier token with lifelink, you will not get the mentor trigger from the goblin (because of reason 3 described below). Mentor needs the following conditions:

1/ A creature with mentor with power > another creature.
2/ Both to be attacking.
3/ If 1 and 2 are true, mentor will trigger and target the smaller creature.
4/ If the smaller creature is still smaller than the mentor upon resolution of the trigger, it will get the +1/+1 counter.

For the same reason, mass pumping like Make a Stand will not help mentoring as they do not create power imbalances - the difference in power between the mentor and any other creature remains unchanged.

To enable mentor, you need combat tricks like Pack's Favor to be cast prior to attackers being declared. For example, if you have a 1/1 without mentor and a 1/1 with mentor, and cast Pack's Favor on the mentor prior to attacking, you will trigger it and attack with a 2/2 and 4/4.

Now that Blossoming Defense is going out, what about Pack's Favor from ravnica? Obsiously not getting the hexproof is bad, but it helps against burn spells still and the convoke is handy, we could have all our mana tapped out and surprise our opponent with it. We often have so many creatures in play that we can just convoke the spell without any mana. What do you think?
