Mainly Selesnya-heavy token deck with a splash of blue. It's built around the population ability, with some more utility with Cackling Counterpart , as it can create a token of anything you own!
Deck has undergone some quite some changes since I took it back up for the Gatecrash meta-game, and I'm currently testing it with this exact setup (tournament info coming soon)
Arbor Elf : Mana-ramp and fixer, due to untap of shocklands
Doomed Traveler : Awesome blocker since it pops token when killed, just benefitting you even more
Wayfaring Temple : Strong 3-drop with populate, nice target for Cackling Counterpart for marching everlasting army.
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice : Populate and MASSIVE lifegain.
Armada Wurm : Spawns tokens, and even more tokens with
Parallel Lives. They got trample as well, neat detail.
Drogskol Reaver : Nice target for cackling, as well as it get the cards you need to finish game. Can also be brought earlier with mana ramp.
Selesnya Charm : 2-drop knights, exile and boost'n'trample to get your Wayfaring Temple through. Can you ask for more?
Midnight Haunting : nice token-spawner that ain't problem for mana. Also, it's instant-speed!
Cackling Counterpart : Main card. Make token of anything and start populating.
Beck / Call : Awesome token spawner if you have Parallel Lives out, and neat card draw at almost any time.
Intangible Virtue : Self-explionary, and must for token decks.
Parallel Lives : Look above.
Garruk, Primal Hunter : Spawns tokens and draw cards, neat in this deck. I would like to have another, but only got 1 atm.
The deck has undergone quite some changes, so I've reset the comments and am going to post new tournament results at the end of the week!
Please also note that this deck is semi-budget, thus as you can see in dual-lands, I haven't gotten as many as maybe needed. However, I got this deck exactly as it is, for better report from match results! ;)
If I get hands on more of the Breeding Pools and Temple Gardens, I consinder swapping out Avacyn's Pilgrim for Arbor Elfs in order to fix most mana problems. I wouldn't think it would be too much of a problem now, seems allright when playing otherwise (I don't allways trust playtester, lol), but might also be wrong!
I've consindered Master Biomancer as well, but it would be another kind of deck if I should base myself upon it, like your deck :3
Indeed, mine actually started out as a pure 5 color ramp with the Galv Axebane combo but I had nothing to spend the mana on and saw biomancer and cackling on my MTG: Familiar App. Reworked the deck to work Biomancer, but Still considering sideboarding a complete set of win conditions not including tokens, as a way to throw my opponent out of his element. Overall I like the flexability of your deck though, in comparison, as mine does not allow for much variation without a sideboard.
Peace!Ash
I like Rancor with Wayfaring Temple .
One reason why I got Selesnya Charm is because of trample on Wayfaring Temple . I don't really have space for situational cards as for Rancor in this deck, so I'll rather keep the charm for versatility.

I'm noticing alot of mana issue's when I attempt to playtest. Multiple Master Biomancer Tokens is a deck I made recently around the same lines. Not bad overall, but needs the mana fixed. Honestly I don't have a good recommendation at the moment as to how to do that aside from what I'm running with the axebane, and galvanic alchemist combo.
