What's better than small tokens than big tokens that heal you and destroy your foes?

A deck lead by Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, designed to turn small amounts of token creation of minor creatures into an army of unstoppable monsters. This deck is played well, and even against a counter deck finds no issues. Using various forms of token generation and buffing you can soon find yourself the bane of your foes existence.

To start, allow me to explain Trostani, Selesnya's Voice who I'll just call Trostani from here on out. Trostani costs GGWW and is a 2/5. His oracle text reads "Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control you gain life equal to that creatures toughness." He can also populate for 1GW, Tap.

There are a few card combos that are needed to bring out the best in the deck. Below I will give the combo followed by what it provides.

First is the combination Glorious Anthem + Intangible Virtue . At face value this simply gives your standard creatures +1/+1 and your tokens +2/+2 and Vigilance. But take into consideration the effects of Trostani. That means that even a 1/1 token comes into the battlefield as a 3/3, This greatly increases the health gain of Trostani and improves your army.

You can also use the above combination in tangent with Alliance of Arms. A card that costs 1W, but has an oracle of X that can be added to by ANY player. All players then get X 1/1 soldiers. Except you, you would get X 3/3 Soldiers with Vigilance.

Now why not make that army even bigger, why not double or quadruple the effectiveness of that spell? Doubling Season + Parallel Lives allows for that.

The rest of the cards are less used in tangent and more simply flow together. For example, Garruk, Primal Hunter is the planeswalker included in this deck and he works great in tangent with the above combos.

Now admittedly there are some changes I've considered making, cards that have never proven useful, or have been rendered moot before they can be used. Primary examples of this are the creatures Sedge Scorpion and Viridian Emissary. If you feel these cards don't fit well into the deck feel free to change them, or look at the Maybeboard to see my suggested alternatives.

Another creature on the fence is the Goldnight Commander who has never offered much to the deck for any cost. This deck, unless mana screwed, should never be at a shortage of creatures and thus some of the lower end ones can be upsized for better effects.

I am always open to suggestions on how to make this deck run smoother and safer, so just let me know what you think of the deck or if you tried it and liked it.

Found a deck with the same commander and saw a suggestion for Doubling Season. I compared it to Primal Vigor and decided to swap it in. It's the mana cost, but is limited to your side of the field.
