So, Changed this deck up a lot since my first incarnation. Found out that one of the most underrated cards is Valor in Akros . The synergy it has is better than Retreat to Emeria , even though retreat turns my land plays late game into pump or tokens, it really doesn't seem to fit as well without at least another fetch. Situations where Valor in Akros shine are, when i have 3 or more open mana, and someone plays Languish and if I have secure the wastes, my creatures and tokens survive. If I have 4 mana and at least 2-3 tokens (which happens a bit) Second Harvest with Valor out gives me +3/3. Now Understandably this has only 1 Valor in it but it works pretty well with all the deck manipulating between Oath of Nissa and Traverse the Ulvenwald. Which brings us to another card that is low in count in the deck but shines. On average I hit Delirium on turn 4-5 easily between oaths, creatures, and planeswalkers. Most people will kill off a hangarback when it is a 1/1 giving me a quick 2 card types, or, I give myself 2 fliers and 3 card types by using a dromoka's command to kill off some threat. By then I have drawn a second oath of nissa and get to 4 card types. So Traverse the Ulvenwald is great early game getting me that land, late game it shines for grabbing a creature, and since most of my creatures make tokens, it makes having a Valor out even better. Now the card that I see is going to be extremely underrated in Standard is Inexorable Blob . Now token decks have a lot of hate. Languish, Flaying Tendrils, and more specifically Virulent Plague. Downside, no big creatures in this deck, upside, Anthems for days. But, Blob has an upside against plague, the tokens are 3/3s not 1/1 or 2/2...but 3/3, and getting one each time i attack? with Valor out that makes 2 4/4s swinging every turn. Or if I have open mana and valor out, and they do not declare blockers? Secure the Wastes/Second Harvest for a win.

Yes, this deck does fail on occasion, U/R Thing in the Ice with Sphynxes Tutelage does hit it good, but, this is more aggro than tempo, being the creature count with the anthems can strike big on a turn 5or 6. Have hit for 16 turn 6 with valor out and a nissa+gideon token turn.
