Ok, keep Rest in Peace , Leyline of Sanctity , possibly Creeping Corrosion , and Rule of Law . Cut everything else. Add Grafdigger's Cage , Torpor Orb , things like that.

I'm going to have to hand it to you. This is the first DECENT GW Token list yet... But. I don't know how budget you are going.. So I'm going to give you what I would do.
Creatures:-2 Armada Wurm-1 Geist-Honored Monk+4 Birds of Paradise
Instants:-4 Advent of the Wurm (SB 2 at most.)(Note on Druid's Deliverance: If you're going aggro which you should, it would be better to invest in taking the 2 Druid's Deliverance and putting 1 more into both Rootbound and Selesnya Charm.)+2 Midnight Haunting (If you're going to flash in something, it's better to flash in something that can block flying. And you get 2.)
Sorcery:-3 Call of the Conclave-2 Rampant Growth+3 Entreat the Angels (G/W doesn't draw. When you do draw, make the best of it with the miracle.)
Enchantment:+1 Parallel Lives (2 is too small, 4 is too tall. Go for the median.)
Take out 2 land and put in 4 more mana dorks (Sylvan Caryatid) and you should be good to go. LMK what you think. OH. Add Voice of Resurgence as a playset.

Mr.Mirage, I'm the one who helped shape the deck so far. It needs a lot of work still, but what you are suggesting would be counterproductive. G/w tokens rely on the populate mechanic, and Advent of the Wurm is a must. Sorry I haven't commented in a few days, kingalvin. I'll help continue your sideboard work. What is your local meta? And do you know what untap.in is?
June 29, 2014 7:08 p.m.
Hmmm... Maybe you could take a look at mine "Entreat the Tokens" - Any way this one is a +1 from me. I like where it's going.
June 29, 2014 7:26 p.m.
Thanks for the +1 Mr.Mirage. No I don't know what untap.in is exactlyxzzane but I've heard of it. My meta is mainly burn decks, control decks, and decks that use the graveyard alot.
June 29, 2014 11:04 p.m.
Don't really know if there's much I can help with against control except give advice like use your instants to guarantee your next turn you can cast things. Lots of graveyard hate through Grafdigger's Cage and Rest in Peace . Leyline of Sanctity is a great ward to burn. Untap.in is a very simple, easy to use site similar to cockatrice. If you want I'll prepare 3 competitive decks and face it against this to see what needs to be improved upon.
June 29, 2014 11:14 p.m.
Oh OK that sounds interesting and sure if you could do that I would appreciate it xzzane
June 29, 2014 11:24 p.m.
No problem. The decks prepared will be affinity, merfolk, and my own personal b/w token deck. What time zone do you live in?
June 29, 2014 11:29 p.m.
I live in EST myself. So we aren't that far apart. What times are you usually free? Although come to think of it I'll have a rather busy schedule these next two weeks.
June 29, 2014 11:59 p.m.
I'm free 2:00 pm and later my time on most days and usually 8:00 am to about 10:30 am. I'll be fairly available these next two weeks but I'll be gone without Internet access on July 9th for two weeks straight.
June 30, 2014 12:08 a.m.
Well I should be free later today. What times are you good for today in case we can make it? If not then perhaps we can figure a time later in the week.
June 30, 2014 2:55 p.m.
Let me see if I'm busy in an hour. If I'm not than I'll comment again and we can duel on untap.in there.
June 30, 2014 3:47 p.m.
I don't think I'll be able to do anything today unfortunately. What days are you free over the next week or so?
June 30, 2014 5:15 p.m.
Every day this week after about 2:30 my time I should be free xzzane
June 30, 2014 5:22 p.m.
And I think I might want some draw cards or something in the deck. I just played someone on untap.in and lost because I wasn't drawing anything good.
June 30, 2014 5:23 p.m.
If you want draw there's always Harmonize . This is the best G/W deck I've seen +1 for that.
July 2, 2014 4:07 p.m.
I don't think card draw would be right for the deck. There's still a lot of room for improvement though. I'll take a look at it later tonight and tell you want can be improved.
July 2, 2014 6:17 p.m.
July 2, 2014 8:05 p.m.
Take out Bow of Nylea and Geist-Honored Monk . I would also replace Ajani Goldmane with a different planeswalker. Maybe Elspeth, Knight-Errant ? Add a 4th Birds of Paradise , you'll need the ramp to get out Armada Wurm . For consistency's sake let's also take out Entreat the Angels for a 4th Call of the Conclave . For your sideboard I would have 2 Creeping Corrosion , 2 Grafdigger's Cage , 2-3 Torpor Orb , 2 Leyline of Sanctity , perhaps a second Rule of Law as well, because storm can outspeed you and you don't have any hand disruption. Add 2-3 Thrun, the Last Troll for when you go up against control. And 2 Rest in Peace . Until you know your meta better lets go with that.
July 2, 2014 8:28 p.m.
OK. Do you think it's worth having the armada wurms in here even with the mana ramp xzzane. I don't think I've had much luck actually getting them in play when I've tested the deck. Should I maybe try a different higher costing card. And what should I do about the fact that this deck has no flying creatures? Is that a problem.
July 2, 2014 8:45 p.m.
Well are you free right now? We can duel on untap.in with the new changes and see how it works out. Armada Wurm is good because it provides you with a powerful populater. As for flying, you'll have to rely on Path to Exile unfortunately. I can't think of any good populate flyers at the moment, but you should be fine for the most part I think. I am slightly concerned about affinity though. It's one of the decks I have loaded on untap.in though, so we can see how it does against it.
kingalvin says... #1
And I added some cards to the sideboard that I thought might be helpful against different decks. What are your thoughts on them?
