ok, got a gravepact, need to decide what to switch out for it...
Suggestions welcome as always
You should give card:Cathars' Crusade some consideration.
Spidersilk Armor would help against flyers, also Glare of Subdual
also i like the combo of Pollenbright Wings and Pennon Blade and i think it could go well in your deck (also the wings could help with fliers)
I agree about the wings and blade could be good too, as for things like Lightmine Field or Pestilence , try adding some more enchantment removal, though you do have quite a bit, and lots of things that make people not want to continually kill our creatures
Krosan Grip could be nice
Aura Shards would be great enchant/artifact removal for this deck
@kavumaster: Aurashards is a good idea and I will make sure to keep my out for one. Similarly, I have been trying to trade with a friend for spidersilk armor and krosan grip for a while now, but he is proving annoyingly uncooperative.
As for pollenbright wings and pennon blade, I have actually had those in an earlier build of this deck and found that they are too conditional and expensive to be worth the card slot. A creature enchanted with 'wings has to hit an opponent and in order for it to be worth 6 mana and card disadvantage the creature needs to be huge and/or come with inborn protection, which isn't going to happen. Also the usual 2-for-1 issue with enchantments. As for pennon blade, it is just win-more. Either this deck has enough creatures out to win by itself or it doesn't have any due to a board wipe. There really isn't much in between. Making a single creature bigger for a huge mana investment isn't worth it, especially since it isn't even in counters I can cannibalize. Point is, I ended up taking those two out because they were too expensive and not needed. I will definitely keep my eyes out for the other cards you mentioned though.
Privileged Position for the win. :)
oh Primordial Hydra for lots of token generation with Ghave. Makes it's own gravy!
I haven't looked this over too carefully but Golgari Germination seems cool. Perhaps Forgotten Ancient for more counters?

Aside from the overrun effects this deck also has a couple of infinite combos. Juniper order ranger, mortician beetle, requiem angel, sigil captain, and twilight drover all allow infinite tokens and colorless mana when paired with ghave and Ashnod's altar, and even without the altar one can still create an impressive board presence with the mana on hand.
This deck is a blast to play and counter-intuitively resistant to removal because spot removal is insignificant to tokens and the deck can produce them at such a rate that you will have a field full of them a few turns after a board wipe.
My only complaint is that this deck is weak to flyers and persistant creature hosers such as lightmine field. Any suggestions to resolving either of these are very much appreciated.
