Gather the Townsfolk
Sorcery
Put two 1/1 white Human creature tokens onto the battlefield.
Fateful hour — If you have 5 or less life, put five of those tokens onto the battlefield instead.

Nice build, this seems pretty good as a first draft.
I would get rid of the Gather the Townsfolks in favor of more Idyllic Tutors. Like, sure, it doesn't help more than one Tainted Remedy out at a time, but this deck 100% revolves around it so I think you should be making sure that you can play it in every single game. Plus having backups in case it gets destroyed can't hurt. And Gather the Townsfolk hasn't been that powerful in modern for quite a while.
Maybe you could replace the Vampire Nighthawk and Blessed Alliance (IMO your two weakest other spells) with another enchantment like Wound Reflection? That could seriously shrink your opponent's life total.
So, good deck so far, but these might help patch up the weaknesses.

i love token decks... I recently made a jeskai spell spam variant focused around Poppet Stitcher Flip and Gather the Townsfolk instead of using Intangible Virtue. I really like this Abzan build +1

tinkered with the list a bit more today and came across two cards that really seem interesting. Hard Evidence and Gather the Townsfolk.
- They make bodies (that can get boosted by Poppet Stitcher Flip).
- Triggers stitcher/Young Pyromancer/Monastery Mentor effects.
- Makes a clue token for draw/in a pinch make 5 bodies.
also plying with the idea of Rapid Hybridization to either use as removal or target one of my own smaller tokens to gain a 3/3 out of it.
all in all its a work in progress and really appreciate you guys for helping me make improvements to this deck. so thank you!

I'll go ahead and play devil's advocate here and suggest that orzhov humans is a great budget deck archetype that can be both aggressive and controlling at the same time. It also easily supports Grand Abolisher , Kambal, Consul of Allocation , and even Starfield Mystic if you have a critical mass of Oblivion Ring s, Pacifism s, and such. Champion of the Parish is a key card of the deck, as is Thalia's Lieutenant . After that, it depends on what kind of gameplan you want to build around. My take on orzhov humans, Assassination Squadron makes use of tappers like Gideon's Lawkeeper and Minister of Impediments to combo and destroy creatures with assassins like Royal Assassin and Gideon Jura . With access to the legacy card pool and a bigger budget, King's Assassin and Deathbringer Liege could be on the table too. Tribal support like Adaptive Automaton , Metallic Mimic , or Door of Destinies is nice, but it certainly isn't a requirement. (Fun fact: when I built this deck years ago, Lieutenant cost much more than the Door. Funny how things can change so drastically.)
Creating tokens tends to work well in this kind of deck because both human lords can buff and/or be buffed by them. Gather the Townsfolk and Thraben Doomsayer are the usual suspects, and I personally like Mentor of the Meek as a way to keep the hand topped off. If you want to go for a lifegain plan with Kambal at the helm, Vizkopa Guildmage is a budget Sanguine Bond on a stick. While certainly not budget, Serra Ascendant and Westvale Abbey Flip can also work in such a build. Now that I think about it, a lot of soul sisters staples happen to be humans ( Auriok Champion , Martyr of Sands , Ranger of Eos , Soul's Attendant , Soul Warden , Speaker of the Heavens , etc.) Another idea is to focus on maximum destruction and exile. High Priest of Penance is a good way to make opponents think twice about their decisions in combat, and I've been having reasonable success with Mangara of Corondor as a sort of slow O-Ring that happens to trigger the lords. Humans are such a common tribe that there's no end to the number of directions you can steer them in if you really want to.

Looks like a fun deck! I may put something similar together with what I have.
For budget removal Id recommend Condemn and Reciprocate
For more tokens Gather the Townsfolk , Lingering Souls (if you want to splash back), Spectral Procession , Promise of Bunrei
For enchantments I’d look at Ajani's Welcome , Legion's Landing Flip (also taps for land), Leyline of the Meek , Honor the Pure and Intangible Virtue .
As far as creatures go I’d try to get more tokens out. Maybe Thraben Doomsayer , Doomed Traveler , Impassioned Orator or Soul's Attendant
Some instants would be Make a Stand to protect tokens from a board wipe

Everything you've said about Trostani is definitely true but applies equally to Advent of the Wurm , except wurms also get hit by Abrupt Decay , non-revolt Fatal Push , and any Unsummon or O-Ring effects. The reality is that at 4 mana, neither of these cards is viable in a competitive modern environment. If your meta is cutthroat enough to see that much single-target removal flying around, I'd recommend going into black to run spirit tokens ( Spectral Procession , Lingering Souls , Kaya's Guile , etc.) which are generally better than populate staples like Call of the Conclave , Selesnya Charm , and Wake the Reflections , especially if you lean into anthems like Intangible Virtue , Leyline of the Meek , Force of Virtue , and so on. You're already pretty far in that direction anyway by running Legion's Landing Flip and Gather the Townsfolk . Those were more the cards I was thinking of cutting for a singleton Trostani or Ranks. Definitely don't cut March, as it's pretty great as a finisher. (I had a lot of fun messing around with it and Harmonious Archon in standard pre-lockdown. XD) Also, regardless of which colors you prefer, Timely Reinforcements is a classic sideboard option against burn that also loves playing with Virtue.

Human harvest with no Second Harvest ? You'd actually need more token generation like Hanweir Militia Captain Flip, Gather the Townsfolk , Tireless Tracker , Ulvenwald Mysteries , etc. to run it, but it fits the theme. Also, decent as Archetype of Courage may be, the celestial cloak and those abs don't scream "peasant" to me XD
