Abundant Growth and Arbor Elf. If yow want more, Verdant Haven along with arbor elf can make a forest tap for 4 mana, 2 of which is any colour in one turn.

I don't need more ramp. i just need help adjusting which lands to have in the deck. Not quite sure which Shock lands and Tap lands to use at this moment.

Those enchantments add the ability to tap for any colour mana, and why would you turn down such an easy ramp formula? Shaving turns off your win condition is what you will only end up doing. How often can you drop a Thragtusk turn 3?

Hmm that's not what i'm trying to do though.

It would be nice to pump out a Thragtusk by turn 3 but then what would I take out to put more ramp in?

What i'm trying to do is pump out many tokens and overwhelm my opponent. If i have Gavony Township , Sorin, Lord of Innistrad +1/+0 emblem, or Master Biomancer out in play those weak tokens become very powerful.

Personally, I think a better name might be Dark Bant tokens or Sad Junk tokens. just to make it less confusing

That's a great suggestion! I'm changing it now.

Thanks!

This is what I'd do:

-3 Avacyn's Pilgrim , -1 Sorin, Lord of Innistrad (3 risks flooding and you have 2 other planeswalkers) -2 Glacial Fortress . +1 Breeding Pool , +1 forest, +4 Arbor Elf

also consider Bloodline Keeper  Flip , Parallel Lives , and Phantom General .

These changes don't effect your mechanics at all and may allow you to ramp out your WC earlier.

Ahh that might actually work out better. I'll make adjustments and see how it works.

I also considered Bloodline Keeper  Flip That still might be in the cards.

Thanks!

an Arbor Elf , Overgrown Tomb , and a Verdant Haven are all that's needed to bring out a Bloodline Keeper  Flip .

I would choose vampire tokens exclusively for your build and go straight BUG.

Have sorin make lifelink vamps, add in some Vampire Nighthawk s, some Stromkirk Captain and maybe 2 Bloodline Keeper  Flip .

then unleash the coven on some dude's gay boros deck, lol.

This is sweet!

However, take out Geist of Saint Traft , this isn't the deck for him - cheesy Master Biomancer interactions aside.

First things first is doubtlessly Avacyn's Pilgrim along side the other ramp, so you can get going as quickly as possible.

This is the part where I suggest Intangible Virtue , although this deck seems more focused on midrange than needing the aggression this anthem provides.

I like have Geist of Saint Traft because he's such an OP creature especially if I have a Master Biomancer . That angel that comes into play attacking becomes 6/6.

I've considered more ramp but I think this works fine right now.

And you're right, this deck does focus a bit on midrange as well as tokens. I don't want to have to rely on those tokens which is why i also have Restoration Angel and Thragtusk

Geist of Saint Traft is only as good as the spells in the deck that assist him getting in the red zone. I do agree with you on the other points though. I would consider going a little more ramp heavy if the five slot starts to clog up.

Intangible Virtue is very nice in any of these token decks. makes the 1/1 tokes from Lingering Souls alot harder to deal with

klakapintaq not a fan of Intangible Virtue I'd rather have creatures or spells in the deck. I don't want to have to rely on the tokens alone to do work.

Why not Arbor Elf if you're using 11 shock lands?

Ignore me. For some reason only saw Avacyn's Pilgrim >.<

Blind obedience is much nicer than intangible.
