No slag, etbs are good. —Oct. 14, 2014

With this update I took out a lot of cards that were spreading me thin. Lingering souls is a good card but it isnt game breaking. I took out baneslayer because it doesnt contribute to my strategy. Replacing those cards is Siege Rhino amd Restoration angel. This new blink package keeps my opponent on their toes and spells out some great value for me. Looking forward to some feedback on my revamped sideboard as well. Im also wondering if I should add more lands to acomodate my slightly larger curve.

I'm loving this deck. You have a lot of very good synergy here, as well as cards that are just powerful in a vacuum and that fit your strategy. I don't really have anything in terms of card suggestions here; you've put together a great deck. +1 from me. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot man! I've put quite a few hours into this and im proud of it. I'd like to get Liliana of the Veil back in the deck, she works really well in the deck for removal wise and a really quirky combo with Sword of Light and Shadow . beyond that I have been thinking about integrating discard as a bigger strategy but I'm hesitant to take out the powerful removal. I also had Eternal Witness in the deck at one point.. what do you think about Eternal witness? What do you think about adding in more discard?

As much as pressure goes, I'm not sure if this would work, but a few Blood Seeker works real well in conjunction with removal and punishing token spammers.

I usually don't worry about token decks because of Maelstrom Pulse and Crime/Punishment . Beyond that Blood seeker is just kind of meh to me, its got a weak body and Its performance depends on my opponent to much. Thanks for the feedback though! I can appreciate the thought process, this deck loves utilitarian creatures :)

Indomitable Ancients , Slagwurm Armor , Tree of Redemption , and Unstoppable Ash would all be amazing. Indomitable Ancients would be a great one-of to tutor up with Treefolk Harbinger . Slagwurm maybe as a two of, as it is great with Doran. Tree of Redemption is just amazing, and Unstoppable Ash with Doran=Amazing. Additionally, when they kill it, if you Championed a Harbringer, it's effect triggers again.

I might consider unstoppable ash as it can be tutored and does bring a lot to the board. I am just hesitant to do so because they could kill the harbinger in response and leave him as a dead card in my hand for quite some time. Thats something this deck doesn't really like. I don't really care for any of the other suggestions because this deck is not really built around doran, it just has him in it. maybe if I added some Mutavault the ash could be better, but as of right now it just seems to risky. Thankyou so much for the suggestions. if you have any advice on how to improve the deck outside of the tribal aspect that would also be excellent :)

Running 4 Verdant Catacombs may be a good idea because it can even fetch Murmuring Bosk . Also, I'd move 2 Inquisition of Kozilek and add 1 Thoughtseize to Mainboard. Treefolk Harbinger with Changeling is a pretty cool combination. +1 for the neat idea!

thanks man, I appreciate the feedback :)
The lands are out of my budget for the moment but the discard is something I can mess around with. What would you suggest I board out for the discard?

Maybe -1 Abrupt Decay and -2 Putrefy . You currently have 15 removal spells, which is quite a bit. Putrefy seems like it would be best in the Sideboard, depending on your meta.
