I didn't realize I didn't finish posting my deck, it's nowhere near my setup. I prefer cathat's crusade over most of the five drops listed here for a lot of reasons, I've held off most creature decks thanks to that card, plus I can potentially drop it turn three, granted it does draw the removals, which sucks. Druid's Repository, despite the bitterness towards it, has treated me so well too, massive entreats of angel out, topped with parallel lives, punchout! It has done well at my local FNM, granted you have those 4-5 turn winning decks, most my deck doesn't stand up anyway unless I stall them out in first place.

Also thanks for reminder.

I made a similar tribal humans build, deck:you-cant-block-this. Running a swamp and Borderland Ranger could help with the black mana fix. Also, Gavony Township .

Taking a quick skim through the suggestions of others, I did not see any of them mention Champion of the Parish . He could be a good addition to the deck since most of your creatures are humans and you run human token cards as well. He would make for a very aggressive one drop that forces early removal. Also, playing him late and the next turn playing Increasing Devotion from your hand of flashback would be nasty!

As for for you land problems, you could try running Farseek in the deck because it will allow you to search for plans, but it won't help when you are needing forests though :( It is shocking how you would have land problems with running 3x card:Avacyn's Pilgrim, 4x Birds of Paradise , and 23 lands. Perhaps you have made adjustments since you have posted about your FNM results. Overall, looks like a good deck when your deck will actually produce enough land for you. +1 from me, and feel free to check out my deck, Champions of Avabruck, if you want.

@emracool - the Gavonys I can borrow at fnm so they are not posted on here lol @pt smitty - thankyou for he advice I'm hopIng I can trade for the champions since I have a bunch of cards for trade and I've ordered a couple cards to help out . Also I actually recently just added the birds and they will help out a lot with mana fixing . I was also considering rampant growth .. It seems like a perfect fit in this deck but I have to play test first And I wish I had BLADE SPLICERS . Thanks though and il chek out that deck when I can .

G/W Token Deck

Here is my token deck in it's final glory before it cycle out. Does well for me on FNM, but irrelevant post really since you went in a different direction. Just figured I'd show it off since I meant to when I linked it first time.

@daggerv - it was be nice if you added entreat the angels but just one to the deck . I need heros before they cycle out 0_0 and blade splicers

I like the deck so far. It looks like you're going for a more midrange Selesnya? I would maybe substitute Parallel Lives rather than Growing Ranks just because you don't really have too many big tokens that you wanna hit with populate. I think you'd rather hit 8 tokens instantly on turn 5 with Lingering Souls rather than have to wait one populate at a time. You might want also want to potentially put in more token producers if you're going to running 4 Intangible Virtue along with either Growing Ranks or Parallel Lives . I would cut a copy of Revenge of the Hunted and maybe even Wolfir Silverheart . If you can get a some copies of Thragtusk they go in those slots, but they're pretty expensive.

For your sideboard you're probably going to want to add Nevermore to combat Detention Sphere , Supreme Verdict or any other wipe spell that might be lurking in your local meta. card:Faith's Shield also works well since Detention Sphere still has to target.

Check out my deck, too, if you have time. It's similar to yours but with a bigger emphasis on Champion of Lambholt . 1/1's Never Looked So Scary

@ Gyin:: I have been trying to concentrate on this deck but if you go into my other decks an look at "selesnya's command, broken tears, counter-nation," they blow this deck out of the water and I am getting more thragtusk but until then this deck is in retirement lol thankyou for the suggestions il make the changes tmrw since I'm going to get the cards soon etc.

I just hope this deck could finally go 4-0 at fnm my best is 3-0-1 :/ which is really good . Thanks again @gyin you've def made this a lil better.

Splintergeist says... #12

here is my suggestion to you. Fungal Sprouting i have a champion of lambholt deck my self and it works quite well in there. doubling champions power and toughness and giving you lots of bodies.

knownasnieves says... #13

Now that the meta slowed down I can FINALY use that card again lol thanks for reminder it's def going to help

Playtest is trolling me, made me mull down to three and still no land, new round, down to five before I got one haha. This deck is a bit scattered card-wise but seems like it should be putting the hurt on the opponent. My token was a bit more focused on sorcery that creates token and parallel lives, but Vault of the Archangel is pretty brutal despite it's four mana cost. People say life gain typically isn't needed, but it helped me a tons, not to mention people are less likely to block a deathtoucher, psychological thing or something. I think loxodon smiter should be sideboarded, personal opinion, with wandering temple taking it's place. Even if it's just a 1/1 Wandering temple will net you more tokens and buffing himself, on top of maybe netting you a 3/3 beast or 5/5 trampling wurm. When you're against blacks and control, bring loxodon smiter back in. +1 for the fungal sprouting, it'll boost lambholt, wandering temple, and monk's power/toughness. Overall it seems like it should put the beatdown on.

knownasnieves says... #15

I only have one wayfaring temple :/ but i will work on it . Check out my other deck called "selesnya's royale" it's doing really well right now .

Mizoreisnear says... #16

why do you have black mana main board when there is nothing in either sideboard or main deck that uses black?

nanoex1 says... #17

I personally don't think Collective Blessing is good enough for your deck. I think you want maybe some more mana dorks like card:Avacyn's Pilgrim.

November 25, 2012 8:11 p.m.

StYY says... #18

yea whats up with the Overgrown Tomb only use i can even see there is that Farseek lets you fetch for it due to it being swamp but other than that, might as well just be a forest

knownasnieves says... #19

Sorry sorry I just updated again I completely forgot I hit the feature before adding a couple cards and one land :/ . Please look at this deck again I'm done updating. mtgzombiesftw StYY . Also nanoex1 I was considering more mana dorks but I'm sure I'm going to get rid of it and put in more dorks .

November 25, 2012 8:40 p.m.

nanoex1 says... #20

You can add two card:Avacyn's Pilgrims for 1 Vraska the Unseen , and Collective Blessing . They just seem akward to me

November 25, 2012 9:38 p.m.

knownasnieves says... #21

I know that's why I added them since no one would see it coming 1st round lol but il change it since I need more dorks . After I playtest ofcoarse . Thanks for the advice .

Lingering Souls is just like one of the best cards in standard for tokens. it pushes your champion easyly by +4+4 with 5 mana and yo got 4 flying buddys

I would cut the call to conclaves in favor of Thalia's, but that is dependant on the amount of control going on in your meta.

November 27, 2012 6:21 p.m.

knownasnieves says... #24

Yeah I have zero Thalia's and there isn't much of the control decks or decks that use bonfire anymore . Maybe I will add lingering souls again since I have 4 in my binder .. Hmm I guess I would take out the conclaves for it idk . Great card though . But this isn't really a token deck it's a heavy creature deck but I will try though .. Wolfsage13 bobior
