Treetop Defense
Instant
Play Treetop Defense only during the declare attackers step and only if you are the defending player.
Creatures you control gain reach until end of turn. (They can block creatures with flying.)

There isn't that big of a difference, mine is only legacy so I can keep in the Treetop Defense, but you could just as easily replace it.

This deck really needs comments or it will die!

AstroAA,
No, Rhys the Redeemed wouldn't be legal. We don't get to play the legal half of split cards either (like Alive)
:-(
witchdoctor,
What NoNeedToBragoBoutIt said! Though I have a different opinion in a few areas:
- I'm not a big fan of Parallel Evolution. Against any other token decks, it's too often a dead card.
- I'd leave a couple of Elf-producers. If your group is anything like mine, Freyalise is going to die (a lot), or pick up a Faith's Fetters, or get hit with a Lignify, or whatever. And the deck still needs to function without her.
- The only think I actually like about Akroma's Memorial is the flavor text. I just don't think I've ever seen one stay on the table long enough to do any good. And if all I get it for is my own turn, I'd rather just have something like Crossbow Ambush or Treetop Defense for the reach, and save my mana (and $) for something else)
And believe it or not, I've got a few other things for your consideration:
- I really like Winding Canyons lately. It's like the best part of Vedalken Orrery, but doesn't take a spell slot.
- I've never met a Skullclamp I didn't like. At least not in a small-token build :-)
- Maybe a Nylea, God of the Hunt?
- Speaking of which, I love Bow of Nylea in a small-token deck. There's just nothing like Deathtouch to turn a horde of chump-blockers into a horde of bad-asses.
- It hard to tell what your deck will end up looking like, but make sure you have some boardwipe resiliency. NoNeedToBragoBoutIt already mentioned Evolutionary Leap, but please note it does double-duty, as a great way to reestablish your board after a wipe. Another good option is Starved Rusalka. Spawning Pit is almost painfully off-flavor, but is still a decent way to re-establish a board position after a wipe.
- Similarly, you may want a little graveyard hate. Something like Repopulate, Scavenging Ooze, or Tormod's Crypt can really mess with a Meren deck.
- Not sure you need any more mana. But if so, maybe a Druids' Repository, maybe?
Finally, two more possibilities from C15:
- I think Bloodspore Thrinax would be great here.
- Pathbreaker Ibex is a maybe. It's hard to argue with an Overwhelming Stampede on a stick, but I'm not sure you'll have enough fatties to make it worthwhile.
Sorry about the wall of text! Thanks for read this far!
