I wanted to build a deck that would last longer in standard to make it more of a valuable investment so I only included cards in the most recent block.

Nice deck but Ashen Rider is 8 mana, too much for what it does. I'd say cut it, as it doesn't fit with the deck's theme that well anyway.

I wanted some big creature I could draw late in the game to make a massive impact- but I think you are right. I am new to magic and appreciate the help. Maybe add another God's Willing to main deck? If i cut all three Ashen Rider 's do you have a suggestion for a better sideboard card? Thanks!!

The thing is Elspeth, Sun's Champion is your win condition. Her ultimate swill make your army of tokens and unstoppable force. More Thoughtsieze in the sideboard? Whip of Erebos for life gain, against aggro decks?

I was thinking about Whip of Erebos . That combined with some tokens makes for a pretty nasty combo. Okay I'm removing the Ashen Rider 's and going to update it a little bit.
