One of my favorite old standard decks. Such good memories...Wait? There's a format where I can still play this deck!?! YEHSSSSSS!!!!I'm thinking about potential changes to make with the addition of M15, Shadows, Eldrich and Kaladesh that could make this deck stronger. What do you guys think?

The plan right now is this: Play some early Retreats, potentially a turn early thanks to Herald of the Pantheon, and then stall the game out by create blockers, gaining/draining life and making your creatures stronger every time a land enters the battlefield. Late game you can make a huge army of tokens with Retreat to Emeria and give them a few anthems to finish the game or play a Siege Rhino or two and buff them to high heavens and win that way. Additionally, giving Siege Rhino deathtouch with Retreat to Hagra is hilarious. Or the odd time you may just drain your opponent out with 3-4 Retreat to Hagra. Apart from that you have Abzan Charm and Utter End for removal (with the charm also providing some much needed utility), Fetches and Blighted Woodland for extra land ETBs at instant speed (not to be underestimated) and lastly Animist's Awakening and Oblivion Sower for some huge late game bombs.

Now I need your help! How can I make this deck better? How good do you think this deck is in the format? How afraid do I need to be of Mantis Rider/other strong cards?I look forward to reading your feedback!
