Update 2:

Some significant changes this time around, with many things remaining the same as well:

  • Swapped Temple of the False God for Growing Rites of Itlimoc. I figure these do about the same thing but Itlimoc can offer mana earlier than Temple from time to time. Swapped all of the Hideaway lands for their basic counterparts. I figure if I'm using the Ravnica double lands I should make up for the tempo, and all-too often in playtesting the Hideaways were putting valuable ramp sources on the bottom of my library.

  • Took some creatures out: Saskia (it hurt to take her out), Mwonvuli Beast Tracker, and Brutal Hordechief.

  • Added some new equipment and enchantments: Godsend, Whispersilk Cloak, Animate Dead, and Life and Limb.

Still more cards coming in the mail, and still more changes and playtesting to do. Please, let me know what you think!

For mass reanimation, try Rise of the Dark Realms, Thrilling Encore, or Faith's Reward (which also works with Sunforger).

If you're playing with both equipment and tokens, Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith could be good to tutor his hammer and tap blockers. Blade of Selves and Helm of the Host make more copies of a creature, and Bloodforged Battle-Axe makes more copies of itself. Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives give you more tokens. Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip is great for ramp if you have lots of creatures and tokens.

Noticed you are playing Spinerock Knoll. Windbrisk Heights and Mosswort Bridge should be even easier to trigger in your deck.

Hey there again elite elgosu, thanks for your repeated help with this list!

So, I've actually got Nazahn, the Helm of the Host, the Bloodforged Battle-Axe, Growing Rites of Itlimoc, and both of those hideaway lands already either on the way in the mail, or in my stack of cards that I've been using to modify this list. Unfortunately I've been experiencing some rotten luck with the hideaway lands, usually resulting in something getting placed on the bottom of my library that I wanted to use to ramp quickly. So I'm actually leaning towards taking all of those out and maybe replacing with basic lands or buying a shock land or two.

As for the mass reanimation, those are all amazing options! I'm DEFINITELY getting Faith's Reward, as I love me some sunforger fuel, and I'll consider the other two although I don't want to ramp this deck's power up too high and leave my group's meta behind (haven't playtested it in a large group yet though).

Blade of Selves seems like an extremely interesting option, and lastly Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives seem pretty amazing so I'll have to see about ordering both of those. Thanks for your help!

No worries, it's actually quite interesting to watch your deck evolve since I only played netdecks when I first started so I didn't go through the same type of deckbuilding. And the creatures, equipment, and tokens strategies you're aiming for are ones that I love as well.

Speaking of which, some other big creatures that make lots of tokens are Giant Adephage, Living Hive, Avenger of Zendikar, Dragon Broodmother, Grave Titan, Nacatl War-Pride.
