Hmm, thanks do you have any suggestions? I was thinking of Captain of the Watch but it is too heavy

I also run a selesnya deck, and I started out with this problem. With Selesnya you really have to go one of two directions, either use the white control aspect of it and make some nice big green monsters with mana ramp, or go tokens all the way. It seems like you've went more with the control so you might go with that. You've got 10 cards total which make tokens and with two of them being Armada Wurm and three being Grove of the Guardian both of which are late game cards. These are nice when you've already set up your board with good token cards like Intangible Virtue and Parallel Lives but the easiest way to do that is to hold your opponent off with populate and smaller tokens while you get your token boosting cards out. However with really only 5 cards for early/mid game to make tokens chances are you won't end up with any tokens to populate. And on top of that cards like card:Druid's Deliverance and Rootborn Defenses aren't being used to their full potential.

I've change the deck a little, I will update this shortly, but I still don't think this is a good deck, I believe I need something to draw cards.
October 17, 2012 11:29 p.m.
I really think you should try and focus the theme on one thing.
October 18, 2012 12:05 a.m.
Made a few changes now, I believe I have some more Tokens Generator and Less White Control, also now I have Predatory Rampage to win a great board advantage.

I also run a selesnsya deck (deck:pacos-gw-epic-as-deck) thats what im using) you can throw in cloud shifts to reactivate theArmada Wurm 's ability, or use Thragtusk also you can use Seance to produce dead creatures as tokens after a supreme verdict, and if you have parallel lives you get to keep a copy of it,(which you can populate which is just epic) i do this with my wurms so i get a shit ton of 5/5's espeacially when i get parellel lives out. i recomend card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice a populate and life gain is epic, and i recomend adding two more of the Selesnya Charm since they offer a quick token to populate or a late game exile target creature. my ideas might be a bit late start but with the amount of mana ramp you have you can pull it off easily.

I'm telling you, you're gonna want 4 growing ranks. They're so helpful. I'm not running Thragtusk but I agree that they would help. Also think about flyers. You've only got two Restoration Angel s. I'd recommend side boarding Aerial Predation which is what I use, or if you don't like that Eyes in the Skies fits a populate deck pretty well but I don't think its as useful for flying defense.
October 18, 2012 4:21 p.m.
I'm after some cards like Thragtusk , Selesnya Charm and card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice also I may play one Entreat the Angels
Thanks very much for the help guys, will keep you posted once I've got my new cards and I'm going to need help to see what can I remove to add this beasts!

Growing ranks is kind of silly for this deck. The tokens you're cloning aren't really worth it. Your deck is actually becoming a lot like my standard deck (which needs to be updated on tapped out to reflect changes like ye a and restored. I'll post a link later, but soul of the harvest is a wonderful creature if you need card drw

how is Growing Ranks silly in a tokens deck? Populate a token from Grove of the Guardian or Armada Wurm . Or really anything for that matter. Its another creature for free. And if you have a Wayfaring Temple out it really works well. Granted he isn't playing that but if he did it would be a very solid combo.

Wayfaring Temple is in my Maybeboard, I'm not sure what to remove to put this boy in play.

Made a Few changes, I've got 2 more Restoration Angel , 2x Thragtusk and 4x Cloudshift , also I've got 1x card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice which proved to be a great game winner already.
I believe I need some more Parallel Lives and another Thragtusk and card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
Any Suggestion?

Looks like a flicker deck, so my big suggestion is that you NEED 4x Thragtusk . It's amazing. Maybe 1 more Trostani as well? If you'd like to check out my standard flicker deck, here's the link: Now you see, now you don't

Ok at a second look, you seem to have 65% flicker deck and 35% token deck. I'd choose one and go with it, but not both - You're leaning more towards flicker, so feel free to check out my deck (link above) for ideas.
October 28, 2012 8:04 p.m.
I'm looking forward to get another 2x Thragtusk and at least 1x card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
The idea is to flicker in order to generate tokens and not to be only one thing, I believe it will work as I have Armada Wurm and Thragtusk to generate tokens while flickering.

I've been trying to get Parallel Lives to work ever since it came out and I've still had a lot of difficulty with it. How is this working for you? I think Geist-Honored Monk could be good here, but I have no idea what to take out for it. Obviously the 4x thragtusk will make the deck that much better.

Once Parallel Lives Enters it becomes the major target, but when I can run it for at least one turn it is amazing!
November 6, 2012 9:37 p.m.
I now have two Garruk, Primal Hunter for card draw, let's see how it plays.I believe I need to remove some cards but I'm not sure what can be removed. Also, I no longer play Cloudshift , I'm trying to focus on tokens and not Flicker.

You seem undecided on whether you want populate or aggro.

Fiend Hunter and Champion of Lambholt , while great cards, aren't fitting the token direction you seem to be wanting to go in. I also don't think you need quite as much mana ramp as you have, maybe cut out Arbor Elf or cut 2 Arbor Elf and 2 card:Avacyn's Pilgrim. If you're having mana problems, I know I did in a deck kind of like this, consider Selesnya Guildgate .

Hey, how did it fair out at FNM? I have just built a GWb Token deck myself which I am going to be trying at some FNM's. Your deck looks pretty good, although I believe you should be playing some of those Rootborn Defenses to protect against board sweepers or just any creature kill in general sometimes! Maybe a couple Woodland Cemetery in place of some forests for a better chance at pulling some black mana? All in all I like it, interested to know how it's been doing at FNM, feel free to take a look and give any constructive criticism on mine! Thanks and best of luck.

How has card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice been faring? I don't feel like she'd be very effective in a deck based around such small tokens.

I think you're too dedicated to tokens to have such little production of them. You might want to change your focus in either direction
