Strionic Resonator could be used on 18 of your creatures besides your boss. Maybe at least put it in a sideboard in case you run up against some tribal decks that would get more use from the Coat of Arms than you do.

So for 2 colourless I can fetch Doubling Season & Parallel Lives when Academy Rector dies???

Not in that case....you can only remove the academy rector from the game once even if you trigger the effect twice. That's my take. I would ask the card guru's in the Q&A section though because some of the dumbest sounding combos (to me) are legal.
But you can easily trigger Hazon's ETB effect twice to get twice as many counters. Avenger of Zendikar can be given double plants and/or you can trigger the landfall ability twice for one land drop.
Craterhoof Behemoth can give +X/+X twice to each creature.
Mycoloth can put out twice as many saprolings. Wurmcoil Engine can put out 2 of each counter.
Zealous Conscripts becomes hilarious and Eternal Witness twice as useful.

i don't have the card draw for Exploration to be a thing, so i think i can squeeze in Strionic Resonator. Found one in my bulk rare boxes. I'll try it out tomorrow with the boys and see how it fared.

If you change this up and put in a few things that can spend X mana on, Mana Echoes would come in huge. Cast Hazezen for 7, you have at least 5 lands = 25 mana. Probably could also use a Tempt with Vengeance and Elemental Mastery to synergy w/ all the same stuff Hazezen combos with.
Hard to figure out what cards to replace. Maybe Regal Force and/or another 7+ mana cards?

Mana Echoes looks amazing but I'm concentrating on land ramp as Hazezon Tamar and Avenger of Zendikar rely on it so much. If I wanted mana doublers, green has more than enough options out there. Tempt with Vengeance just came out while Regal Force just went in. If i were to drop anything though, Jazal Goldmane or Gilded Lotus would be my first cuts. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Rhys the Redeemed seems like a good card here. Although i hate my friend for playing it.
April 23, 2015 5:38 p.m.
No critique here, just wanted to say I love the deck name and the theme going here. Hazezon was always an aspirational deckbuilding challenge!
One thing I would add to consider is [Shields of Velis Vel] on the opponents creatures in response to Hazezons LTB trigger.
April 23, 2015 6:21 p.m.
Hahahah thats so evil. if only it was all creatures not target players creatures. Thanks for the friendly words and i hope you build around him one day. its a ton of fun. NOW WHERE'S MY +1???

Mirari's Wake would be good as mana ramp and tokens boost.
Nice deck, +1!

oh my...this is completely insane, you my sir are crazy with tokens xD
huge +1 from me :3
May 23, 2015 9:35 a.m.
Thank you both for the +1. Much appreciated. The problem with Mirari's Wake is that I need lands in play more than lots of mana. It's a great card in 99% of decks but just not this one. Keep the suggestions coming though.

Ok, if I have any other idea I am gonna drop it here!
Maybe Explosive Vegetation or Harrow would be strong ramp? Getting two on the battlefield at the same time would be better than 1 in hand...
Mirror Entity would majke a great use of all the mana you could have and would turn your tokens into big killing machines...
And I just saw Lovisa Coldeyes in maybeboard, and just wanted to say she is really strong with changelings, even if it has nothing to do with your deck!
May 23, 2015 10 a.m. Edited.
Lovisa Coldeyes gives haste and +2/+2 to warriors. Hazezon Tamar makes sand warriors. So does Secure the Wastes and Mercy Killing (when used on my own dudes). Then take a look at my non-token creatures. I just can't find one.
May 23, 2015 11:39 a.m.
Explosive Vegetation < Skyshroud Claim. But I run Tempt with Discovery over Explosive Vegetation for politics. If someone is off to a bad start I get more land. I play almost solely multiplayer games and I love watching people wrestle with the idea of ramping off of my spell. Double edged swords are the reason I play edh.
May 23, 2015 11:44 a.m.
You should really try out Descent of Dragons. Its insanely fun in token decks and it could act as a half assed Beast Within at the same time.

Overall this looks like a very well constructed deck, love all the tokens and fun stuff! As for suggestions I can't really think of any that have not been suggested yet.
+1 from me!

Aura Shards seems like it would be very good in this deck with all those sand warrior tokens you can make.
I personally would rather run Parallel Lives over Primal Vigor since I feel like it just gives your opponents too big of an advantage.
Overall though I like the deck and looks like a lot of fun to play with.
June 7, 2015 4:27 p.m.
I'm currently running both (all three with Doubling Season), somehow, I had never realized Primal Vigor isn't one sided.
If you were make a cut for Aura Shards, what would you replace with it? Vandalblast, Krosan Grip or something else?
June 7, 2015 5:07 p.m.
LoneCrusader says... #25
Any of your one-shot artifact/enchantment removal spells would probably be good to get rid of since Aura Shards does a lot more work. Since Vandalblast is a one sided artifact wipe I would probably keep that in though.

Forgotten Ancient is a great card but you should NEVER replace Tempt with Vengeance (especially not when you are running so many things that work with it so well).
I'd replace Garruk, Caller of Beasts with Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury (if for no other reason than the possibility both out at the same time). Citadel Siege would be a nice fit her also.
