Few Changes. Part 2 —Nov. 11, 2017
Removed:
Courser of Kruphix: Lifegain was minimal, really didn't do much
Siege Rhino: Lifegain was minimal, really bad T/CMC ratio
Added:
Selvala, Explorer Returned: Ramps, draws, good body. She's amazing
Sentinel: Is amazing, need it to block/be blocked once.
Suns_Champion, that coincidence is hilarious!
Timber Protector - Most Doran decks go towards Treefolk Tribal, which I'm not trying to emulate. Because of that, this deck doesn't run many Treefolk. Bastion Protector is strictly better here because of that, but I don't run either as Doran is usually left alone by targeted removal.
Tree of Redemption - Biggest issue with it is the defender, as I'm also trying to avoid most defender creatures (Hence why I don't run Axebane Guardian). I run Perdition because it has the added benefit of sucking the life out of my opponents, and Souls of the Faultless for the same reason/dissuading attacks.
Dusk / Dawn - Great card, good for removal and returning my creatures
Sylvan Caryatid - It's early ramp with a good amount of health. Great suggestion
Kin-Tree Invocation - Yes it will, most of the time, be 2 mana for an 8/8, and that's the problem. I've always had that problem with it, a lot of cards here have negative effects toward cards with high power/same p/t
Chromatic Lantern - Good idea
Also, thanks for pointing out the problem with Triumph of Ferocity, for I thought it was just an enchantment version of Abzan Beastmaster. I've since correct that mistake.
Thanks for the suggestions! Feel free to suggest more :p

"OH MY GOD BECKY! LOOK AT IT'S BUTT!" that's all that came to mind when I was looking through the deck list lol.
I like the deck, it's interesting to see someone play a non-defender version of Doran.
Just a few suggestions:

DrkNinja any cards I should remove to make space for those?
It's a maybe on Wall of Souls and Leyline. Angelic Chorus is nice, but so far Life hasn't been an issue. I like Wall of Souls as similar Souls of the Faultless, except its targeted, which can be helpful, and I like Leyline as that +1 boost is quite potent. I'm leaning more towards Leyline then I am towards Wall of Souls.

I think Gaze of Granite would be a good replacement for duneblast. Also very confused why Austere Command isn't here.
A good staple I every wash deck that I'd consider because of the synergy, Vedalken Orrery; you can flash in creatures and enchantments to buff your dudes for combat tricks.
As far as cuts I'd go with Mortify, as Putrefy and krosan grip have you covered with spot removal. Actually you just have WAY TOO MUCH spot removal I think. You are a creature deck not a control deck. Path over swords, cut solidarity because bar the door and tower defense are better, vindicate is just a bad anguished unmaking, vampiric tutor over Diabolic tutor.
I also don't like Kami of the old stone or looming Alistair, for 4 mana you should be getting more out of your creatures in EDH.

I replaced both Kami of the old Stone, and Looming Altisaur for Ornithopter and Phyrexian Walker. A 2/2 flyer for 0 and a 3/3 for 0. Thoughts?

Some things I like:
Elspeth, Sun's Champion - Obviously I like the inclusion but it seems like she could do some good work for you!
Meekstone - Good choice that not everyone would think about.
Some suggestions to put in:
Timber Protector - protection for your commander.
Tree of Redemption - good mana:toughness ratio.
Dusk / Dawn - goes along with Elspeth and some of your other boardwipes.
Sylvan Caryatid - really, there's no reason not too.
Kin-Tree Invocation - usually going to be a 2 mana 8/8.
Chromatic Lantern - basic color fixing/ramp that every 3 color deck needs.
Some to take out:
Obelisk Spider - not much -1/-1 synergy in this deck.
Triumph of Ferocity - this has to do with power, not toughness. All the red and green decks willl prevent you from drawing.
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice - good lifegain, but you don't have much to populate.
Hope some of this helps!
