Holy tokens BANTman! (Modern MTG Deck)

A fun idea I had today... Everyone has thought about having the Progenitor Mimic coping good ol' Thragtusk! But about AEtherling, Loxodon Smiter or even Craterhoof Behemoth?!

Fun I thought! So let's look at what we got here!

MAIN BOARD:

Avacyn's Pilgrim & Farseek for ramp
Loxodon Smiter is very useful against aggro and anyone using discard abilities or counters. He'll always make his way to the board.
Thragtusk... Well what's not to love about good ol' Thragtusk 5/3 body for 5, gaining 5 life and I get tokens when he leaves the field! He is good people!
Restoration Angel for blinking out my Thragtusk or any other creatures that may be in trouble from spot removal. Of course I can always flash it in on my opponents turn so I can swing next turn.
AEtherling the most flexible creature here! Make him unblockable, blink him out to survive board wipes (including my own) or pump him for heavy damage.
Craterhoof Behemoth is here just for that extra ouch! When I have the field full of tokens and he comes out its pretty much game over if there's no response.
Progenitor Mimic for coping Thragtusk, AEtherling, Craterhoof Behemoth, Restoration Angel or even my opponents creatures!
Parallel Lives helps me stack my tokens! It helps make Garruk, Primal Hunter and Progenitor Mimic that much scarier!
Supreme Verdict to clear the field if its not looking to be in my favor. Plus if my Thragtusk is out there I get a Beast still and I can blink out AEtherling and swing for the win my next turn.
Azorius Charm is one great card! I can ether use it to stall out by tossing their creatures back, lifelink to mine or drawing cards!
Advent of the Wurm is usually meant to be played on my opponents turn as ether a surprise blocker or just so I can swing next turn! If Parallel Lives is out this card is a game changer!
Render Silent I like this card! It helps against anyone that has tons of 1-2 drops that can just flood the field also great against other control decks!
Sphinx's Revelation is pure card draw and of course life gain is also nice!
Garruk, Primal Hunter I can pump out tokens like crazy with a Parallel Lives on the field and/or Draw cards!
Alchemist's Refuge is great to help me play Supreme Verdict as an instant! Or even other fun creatures or spells that I might have!

SIDE BOARD:

Geist of Saint Traft is not great against a more aggro build or control. After I find out that my opponent is playing usually I swap him in. Really throws people off!
Loxodon Smiter I figured why not have another one to help against aggro and control based decks!
Rest in Peace for the graveyard hate
Nevermore for cards I never want to see
Blind Obedience to stop aggro in it's tracks! Plus I can extort and gain a little life!
ray of revaluations is to help with annoying enchantments like Detention Sphere, Oblivion Ring, other people's Blind Obedience etc. plus flashback is very nice!
Pithing Needle is great for planeswalkers and Nephalia Drownyard! Saved me once or twice!
Render Silent and Supreme Verdict just to have that extra control

All thoughts, suggestions and plus 1's are always welcome! Just let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Sad sad day... Took out Progenitor Mimic and moved Craterhoof Behemoth to the sideboard in favor of Snapcaster Mage. Flashing back those Advent of the Wurm or Supreme Verdict for the LoLz!
