No problem! However, I would suggest keeping Sorin, Solemn Visitor. His +1 helps token decks immensely. The +1/0 and life link until your next turn is huge for stabilizing a board -- especially with the vigilance that Intangible Virtue provides. He can also spit out more flying tokens (always welcome) in a pinch with his -2. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, and Elspeth, Knight-Errant are the other planeswalkers that typically see play in tokens. These planeswalkers are important as the deck plays more or less like a control deck -- squeaking out small advantages over time while slowing down your opponent until your small advantages wind up becoming huge and you can start swinging for huge amounts of damage through the air... and not many card types are as good at squeezing out advantage as Planeswalkers are. Each time you get an activation out of one of their abilities, it is almost like playing another card -- and card advantage is usually how you win in any TCG. I would not include all 3 of those walkers. But I would have likely try to have 4 Planeswalkers in the deck with any combo of two of them (i.e. 3x Sorin, 1x Gideon, or 2x Sorin, 1x Gideon, 1x Elspeth).

Thanks for contributing so much to this deck! Your suggestions show your knowledge of the game and the patience to teach. On the walkers, I agree that Sorin, Solemn Visitor, Elspeth, Knight-Errant and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar can help this deck tremendously. Next update coming soon!
