@SexyTH I've actually tested with those cards in and I found that Growing Ranks is often too slow and is often a dead draw late game, Wayfaring Temple is also very conditional, often relying on board state, where as other cards improve the board state.
Thanks for your comment :)

How about Angelic Accord , it is great with Trostani
Also, Vigor is amazing in almost any green deck, it protect your creatures and make then grow bigger

MARPJ Vigor is one of my must haves for the deck, but I don't have money to buy one yet.
As for Angelic Accord , it's one of my favorite cards especially when paired with trostani, but I find it very situational, I might try to squeeze it back in again at some point.
Thanks for your comment :)

I've found Wilt-Leaf Liege to be much more effective than Tolsimir Wolfblood He costs 2 less, does basically the same thing and even has some built in protection against someone forcing you to discard. Sure you lose the ability to make the 2/2 wolf, but being legendary that's all you would ever get out of it is a single wolf.

@Ender02 Good point, I'll find a room for the liege. As for Tolsimir Wolfblood , I just really like his flavor. Also, the liege is a bit expensive.

If you want a more serious card there's Phyrexian Processor it's one of the most powerful cards you can use with Trostani for obvious reasons

@AdrenalineBomb Thanks for the suggestion, just bought one as soon as I saw your comment.

The Serra Avatar + Trostani, Selesnya's Voice combo works exceedingly well, especially when you throw Conjurer's Closet into the mix and you double your life every turn. The Closet also work's really well with Armada Wurm , Avenger of Zendikar , and other cards like them. Furthermore, it gives you the option to, at the very least, untap Trostani at the end of your turn and use her ability a second time during your opponent's turns, perhaps populating a new blocker during your opponent's attack.Akroma's Memorial is another awesome card you might like. Some don't because it can be a bit...lame.Phyrexian Rebirth can be a very good board wipe in certain circumstances. Especially if you have doubling season or parallel lives out.Nomads' Assembly is particularly good for creating an army in two turns, and is just ugly with your Cathars' Crusade .

@HurriedTugboat I originally had Conjurer's Closet in the deck, but i seldom saw Armada Wurm and Avenger of Zendikar , and blinking trostani to untap wont allow me to use her ability in my opponents turn since she doesn't have haste (unless i misunderstood the rules). Akroma's Memorial is attractive, but I'm already having trouble fitting a bunch more stuff into the deck with 6-8 CMC so its hard to find a place for another big CMC card. Phyrexian Rebirth might work itself into the deck, as I only have 1 or 2 board wipes (elspeth included). As for Nomads' Assembly , i don't know, i feel that Decree of Justice or Storm Herd might be better, as decree is 'instant speed' and storm herd tokens are flying, plus lifegain with trostani makes storm herd better.

I don't know how I overlooked that with Trostani and Conjurer's Closet , sorry. Often though, with Nomads' Assembly I find that the rebound really makes it worth it, as the tokens you put out the previous turn with it count towards its effect.Also, Decree of Justice is awesome. Thanks for mentioning it, I'll have to pick one up.
April 4, 2014 2:56 a.m.
@HurriedTugboat only problem I have with Nomads' Assembly is you need to already have tokens out for it to be useful.
Thanks for the suggestions :)

Few thoughts for you:
Emmara Tandris (more protection to your Rhys-genned tokens)Eladamri's Call (for finding Rhys or Darien)Spawnwrithe (for more tokens)Sigil Captain (combos well with Darien and Rhys)*Trostani's Summoner (for more tokens)
April 7, 2014 9 p.m.
@purplebackpack89 I really don't like Emmara Tandris . Spawnwrithe is too slow, and will be a dead draw late game, because he's easily blocked.
Trostani's Summoner is good, but i think she'll be better in a blink deck, as she's too slow only churning out 3 plain tokens, she's better in a Rhys deck.
Eladamri's Call and Sigil Captain are interesting, I don't know where I'd put them, though. Sigil Captain is probably better in a Rhys the Redeemed deck, instead of a trostani deck. What do you think I should replace for Eladamri's Call ?
Thanks for your suggetions :)

I would either replace Scavenging Ooze or one of your artifact/enchantment removals. You have enough artifact/enchantment removal to blow up any artifact/enchantment cast anytime during the game.
April 8, 2014 9:12 a.m.
@canterlotguardian Yes, I can't wait to get a copy of the new Ajani. His second ability is awesome for this deck with a lot of creatures and enchantments. Any form of card advantage in edh is always good.
@sonicorigami Cradle of vitality is pretty good, but I don't want to focus too much on the lifegain aspect of Trostani because she's easily removed, also its too reliant on lifegain in to be effective all the time. In a Soul Sisters style Trostani deck, Cradle of Vitality would do better.
Thanks for the comments :)
April 9, 2014 10:39 p.m.
@purplebackpack89 I agree with taking out Scavenging Ooze , he's always a dead draw, early or late game (good sideboard card though). I dont have a copy of Eladamri's Call yet, but i did get a Vorinclex so, why not put him in right?... I'll get an Eladamri's Call at some point in the future.

She was my first commander had alot of fun with her! +1

@GrandKeenChieftain I had to start with a precon because edh was a bit daunting in the beginning, but she's my first commander deck that I built from scratch.
Thanks for the +1!

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite would do wonders for your tokens... as well as taking a dump on other people's tokens (and real creatures and sometimes even their generals).
