Obzedat, Ghost Council and Blood Baron of Vizkopa are HUGE bombs for a life gain deck like this. Obzedat, Ghost Council with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is massive. Gain 7 life each turn, and make your opponent lose 2, making a 9 life gap is amazing. Also, I do think you need some removal, I don't see a whole lot. Abrupt Decay I think should be mainboarded for Golgari Charm . Putrefy mainboarded for Alpha Authority . Other than that, awesome deck. +1 from me.

Thornspire and gacde I took your guys suggestions and combined them by sideboarding the durability and adding the removal.
Ruric and gacde, I would like to pop in the Blood Baron of Vizkopa
and Obzedat, Ghost Council
due to their excellent durability and lifegain, but I need to test out if my deck can keep up with the environment with all of those 5 drops (would probably bump me up to 7 adding those two) since I don't have much mana-acceleration.

gfrpaac Yeah, I did some minor testing and the Sylvan Caryatid is so awesome for casting the double mana spells. I didn't want to completely remove Ethereal Armor but I did tweak some numbers to cut it down to 2, and to give it a larger impact when it drops (and a viable later topdeck).
Thornspire says... #1
I would move Golgari Charm and Ready / Willing to the sideboard and replace those with something like Advent of the Wurm , cut Alpha Authority (it doesn't "do" anything on its own) and replace Primeval Bounty with a fatty like Armada Wurm . You'd much rather that that on turn 6.
After all, you do have Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . Why not make a token subtheme then. ;-) But you would have to tune the mana base if you would make those changes.
Still, +1
