If you go with Impact Tremors I would suggest Raid Bombardment over it because while it is more expensive it triggers more often with your tokens.

-Pathbreaker Ibex
+Blinding Angel
Reason: Pathbreaker could buff your things into blockable territory.

-Xenagos, God of Revels
+Akki Underminer or +Life and Limb
Reason: Xenagos is an awesome card but he could bump a card into blockable territory or be used on a sapro for an exciting +1/+1. I am actually liking underminer less everytime I think of him. 1/1 will die to a stiff breeze and sacrificing a permanent is nothing in late game EDH or against a token deck. I suggest Life and Limb instead to follow your saproling theme and to grant you some massive ramp.

-Sylvok Explorer
+Dawning Purist
Reason: You have a lot of mana ramp and gain more if you use Life and Limb so I'd opt to remove Sylvok as it is only a 1/1 and doesn't generate useful colors unless you are playing against an overlapping deck.

Avenger of Zendikar - might be another one to consider if you are looking for late game value.. Not sure what I'd change for him though.

Thanks ty12004 for some excellent additions. I have added many to the maybe board and the deck itself! Selfless Spirit is a bit too expensive at the moment, but a great replacement and/or addition.. I can save for this having already bought a Doubling Season.

I really like Precinct Captain and friends but am going to stay on flavour and only produce Saprolings for this deck. The control trio of Akki Underminer, Dawning Purist, and Blinding Angel are also quite fun... but I am unsure where this is any room. Do you have any suggestions of which to replace for these three?

Dauntless Escort - Can be replaced with Selfless Spirit to match your P/T theme. Or both for safety.

Chaosphere + Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa - Only creatures with reach can block your non-fliers now.

Akki Lavarunner - Could be good to eke out a post combat hit with red creatures and it gets mean with Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors, Raid Bombardment, etc

Spawnwrithe - Can get out of hand quickly

Hanweir Garrison - P/T matches, creates more matching friends.

Precinct Captain - More pseudo unblockable friends upon not being blocked.

Akki Underminer | Dawning Purist - If you want to be mean.. err.. control your enemy.

Blinding Angel - Deny combat

Ohran Viper - Card draw!

Bow of Nylea - Any available blockers will need to make a choice unless they have preventatives. (first strike/protection/etc)

Blade of Selves - To spread the love on 2+ people matches. Works grossly well with the 'on attack' or 'enter the battlefield' token spawners. (Be careful though as this equipment usually makes you enemy #1)

i would recommend against Brimaz, King of Oreskos because it will kill the copies when it has myriad. and for that matter, all the "when ~ attacks..." triggers dont happen for the miriad copy since they enter already attacking, so i would shift to a more "when ~ does damage to a player.." effects. i really like the idea of Hydra Omnivore with myriad. that is pretty awesome.

side idea: creatures with Renown. you get the trigger when it deals damage, and you could use Valeron Wardens to draw mad cards.

otherwise, Slith Predator, Slith Ascendant, Spawnwrithe, sword of ___ (basically any of them), Wayfaring Temple, Augury Adept, Blinding Angel, Caustic Wasps, Celestial Mantle, Dawning Purist, Lightwielder Paladin, Living Hive!!!, Ohran Viper, Precinct Captain, Quietus Spike, and Relic Seeker .. to name a few. also, all the old inistrad vampires like Bloodcrazed Neonate have that interaction as well, although you arent playing red.

and with this "whenever ~ deals damage to a player.." trigger, you could use stuff like Rancor or Primal Rage

or you could use cards with Exalted like Sublime Archangel because the trigger happens on declaration of attack before the copies come in with myriad.
