Well kinda. Cause for cards like elspeth garruk Vigor , and Doubling Season your looking at 50$ to 60$ right there. I dont like to spend over 5, 6, maybe 7 on cards,

Selvala's Charge , I can't begin to tell you how many times this has worked for me in my Selvala deck.

for 5 you are usually getting two to three 3/3 tokens at a minimum. Obviously only run this if you play primarily multiplayer.

Not a bad card @LittleBlueHero could work great, could not. Selvala is quite the gambler and i like to gamble.

Try checking out my Selvala EDH? Fantastic Inspiration Moving Into New Territ-try

Mine is more focused around getting a large mana base, then either build up protection, or go for the kill.

You got a good deck there

October 17, 2014 4:33 a.m.

True it is a gamble of sorts, but what I love is that even if it totally fails you still have a much better idea of what is going on in your opponents hands. Everyone draws a card is always a good way to make friends :)

I just playtested three times in a row and got mana screwed all three times. not sure why as the deck already has 38 lands, but it might be something worth looking into.

October 20, 2014 10:37 a.m.

Honestly, with 38 in here, you might have just had some serious bad luck. However, he has no ramp. I would suggest Harrow especially for this deck. Drop Transguild Promenade and Rupture Spire . They're horrible. Expedition Map is good. Same with Nature's Lore

36 lands is a very solid number for two color EDH.

Even though EDH is a 100 card format, you can still be tight on space. Expedition Map is slow, and not even ramp. If you're going to suggest that, why not Armillary Sphere ? (though personally, in a green deck, you have much better options than artifact ramp)

Since you're running green, the best ramp spells are Cultivate , Kodama's Reach and Sakura-Tribe Elder .

The next ones I recommend are Skyshroud Claim , Explosive Vegetation , Ranger's Path , and Nissa's Expedition . These are good because you are spending one card to ramp two land that turn.

If you still want more ramp, there's Rampant Growth and Nature's Lore . (however these are one card for one land that turn. If you're tight on space, I wouldn't include these.

October 20, 2014 12:45 p.m.

Yeah that much mana plus a general who gives you mana should make it hard to get screwed.

I wouldn't spend a lot of card slots on ramp though. Its most likely just a case of really bad luck. If you want to add some ramp I would add creatures that can get you some value. I agree with Sakura-Tribe Elder . I put that guy in anything I run with green. The other card that finds its way into almost all my decks is Solemn Simulacrum .

Mana isnt a problem. 16% of the time i get screwed. I have an app to run a sim on it 5,000 times and its 71% fine, 6% mana flood, 5% color screw, and 16% mana screwed. Thanks for the good input though. If i had better lands 71% would go up and color screw would go down.

I know thats not 100% percent cause the app doesnt use percentages. it rounds it up or down. Just add 0.5 to all of them lol

Made some changes thank you everyone for the help. Special thanks to Steven_Fuckin_Hyde for all of what you suggested. And Umbreon_jj for suggesting Congregate, works great. The changes i made have geared this deck more towards power in streangth and numbers, by adding more token generaters and creature buff both by enchantments and +1/+1 counters

Gavony Township is a bit too pricey but when i feel like spening tje extra money i will get it

November 7, 2014 4:53 p.m.

I love the look of your deck, tokens are incredibly fun to play with. I have a Trostani token deck myself that you can look at Trostani's Protectors

Suggestions

Rhys the Redeemed

Brimaz, King of Oreskos

Darien, King of Kjeldor

I want Rhys the Redeemed, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, and Darien, King of Kjeldor. Rhys the Redeemed may be the first one i add to this deck when i feel like spending that much $ on a single card. With that being said, Brimaz, King of Oreskos @40$ is out the question. Unless i aquire it some other way. Darien, King of Kjeldor i really dont like that much but is still a better card then some other cards in here. The problem i have with him is i need to recieve damage for his ability to go off. So he is not an imediate token generator. Plus damage doesnt include life loss. Good suggestions, thank you, i use your Trostani's Protectors for more suggestions. Nice deck

November 12, 2014 3:29 p.m.

I'm not sure why you would have Selvala, Explorer Returned as your commander in a token deck. You should try Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or Rhys the Redeemed
