Standard Bearer
Creature — Human Flagbearer
While choosing targets as part of casting a spell or activating an ability, your opponents must choose at least one Flagbearer on the battlefield if able.

Standard Bearer unique and powerful.
Prismatic Strands also unique and really powerful.

Prismatic Strands and Standard Bearer are really good and I would argue pauper staples.

@Talanar oh! I missed your first comment, sorry haha. I had done a good bit of playtesting before publishing the list here but honestly couldn't tell you a good power level since I mostly playtested it alone to make sure the core engine worked. Definitely somewhere in mid power; it pops off if left alone since it can snowball with Wood Elves and the squirrel generation can get absurd. I hadn't by that point worked much on boardwipe protection though. There's just Eerie Interlude for that, really, but I'm sure you could make a few changes to fix things if needed; obvious pick is Teferi's Protection but I'd rather include Ghostway myself since the list barely runs artifacts/enchantments and you proc ETB's at the end of turn which teferi's doesn't.
Honestly I'm glad the Standard Bearer is having the desired effect :P I've had some folks get almost hysteric over it too. Crazy how strong the card can be in the right situations. Happy you're enjoying the deck! (and sorry again for missing that initial message)

You could get some play out of Presence of the Master to lock down your opponents options once you get a few of your own out on the battlefield. I've always liked Standard Bearer in my mono-white deck, The Wrath. It forces your opponent to rethink their aura plays as well as equipment. Very underappreciated card.

I think flagbearers would be useful.
And also, do you gain life at a solid enough quip to include Resplendent Angel?

i would take out Lone Missionary for Veteran Armorer or Lumithread Field to protect your creatures form Electrickery . Cut a Mourning Thrull , a Soul Warden OR a Soul's Attendant and a Plains for 3x Night's Whisper , you are going to need the card draw. Replace the Castigate with Harsh Sustenance or Unmake.
sideboard:
Take out Shadowfeed and put in Beckon Apparition , i think it will synergies with with the soul sisters and Edge of the Divinity by giving you a white/black creature token. take out Nihil Spellbomb for Relic of Progenitus , trade out the Swamp in the sideboard for a Bojuka Bog or 2x by taking out 1x Bonesplitter . Replace the Castigate and Disenchant with 3x Standard Bearer.
maybeboard:
Crimson Acolyte , Obsidian Acolyte , Prismatic Strands , Battle Screech , Rune of Protection: Red , Rune of Protection: Green , Epicure of Blood , Oblivion Ring
sorry about the last post with no hyperlinks to the card names. i am new

Here are some other vegetablely ideas. Some of these are obviously more effective than others, and some I had to think about for a moment to see the interactions, but they're all fun.
Arena Athlete, Astral Steel, Bonus Round, Coalition Flag and Standard Bearer (force people to target a creature, then give it protection at instant speed), Finale of Promise, Mirrorwing Dragon (because you can repeatedly protect your field even if someone tries to use this against you), Primal Wellspring, Pyromancer's Goggles, Radiate, and Veilstone Amulet.
