[Seeking Advice]

I have a list of cards in my maybe selection and I would like advice on which of those cards would do well in this deck, and which cards can be pulled out to make room.

I would obviously like to have 4x Voice of Resurgence however I cannot afford those cards.

I feel like Knight of New Alara may actually be more potent for this deck than the Wilt-Leaf Liege however it is a little less resilient. I have also contemplated replacing Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers with Dauntless Escort to protect from board wipes.

I am torn between Congregation at Dawn and Glittering Wish. I don't know if either is particularly necessary though they seem like they may be very useful in getting to the cards I need to properly deal with specific threats.

Lastly, I am debating adding in Bronzebeak Moa. Playing a small 2 drop, and then casting Mercy Killing on the Moa would create a large number of tokens, while casting Mercy Killing on a creature that is already buffed would make the Moa capable of delivering a killing blow to an opponent, but I don't know if it is necessary seeing as how it's generally much safer to cast Mercy Killing at the end of my opponents turn instead of during my own.

Any advice would be appreciated. Below is a description of how the deck generally functions.

[Description]

Shield of the Oversoul on Naya Hushblade, Bant Sureblade or Watchwolf gives strong early game agro. Wilt-Leaf Liege or Tolsimir Wolfblood buff all creatures in the game for mid game power. Once you have one or two of these creatures out, use Mercy Killing on one of your larger creatures to create a small army of powerful tokens to finish off your opponents.
