Instead of running MortarpodMTG Card: Mortarpod midas well run 3 Sword of Body and MindMTG Card: Sword of Body and Mind swing with a spirit and get a 2/2 out.

I would personally cut the skirsdag high priests, because there isn't a reliable morbid trigger in this deck I'd argue you don't need them. Also germs can survive with intangible virtue out, just as an aside. Having said that maybe adding in a Suture PriestMTG Card: Suture Priest wouldn't hurt.

dude go with nevermore, stony silence hurts your swords because they cant equip while nevermore just takes care of them, personally i would just use surgical extraction

A fun morbid trigger is Altar's ReapMTG Card: Altar's Reap, it comes in handy.

I've run a similar build for FNM and have some input. Work on the three spot, because it's actually really easy to mana-screw in this deck. I've had beautiful opening hands to only draw into nothing pretty fast. It really has few answers to stuff like Zombies as it lacks a lot of removal. It's pretty but you're opening yourself up for some damage. I've gone 1-2 a lot with this deck with the more common decks out there (though it rips B/W Tokens to shreds)

Sorin, Lord of InnistradMTG Card: Sorin, Lord of Innistrad has won me games. I suggest him heavily.

Also, ramp is good. Mr. Avacyn's PilgrimMTG Card: Avacyn's Pilgrim is pretty damn helpful. I would also add 2x Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Townships while decreasing a Vault. I would suggest cutting down also on Parallel's because it slows down the deck. Like I said, load up on the lighter spots so it's more easy to get some spells out, or it could be a while.

Well, overall, this seems to be a fantastic deck. Getting a few Intangible VirtueMTG Card: Intangible Virtues out with a few big tokens is pretty ridiculous.

However, in my playtests, I've had some serious mana issues. Often I would draw a Parallel LivesMTG Card: Parallel Lives and never be able to play it all game because I wasn't getting any green lands. I do see that you put in Birds of ParadiseMTG Card: Birds of Paradise as a mana fix, but to play a Birds you have to have the mana to play it, which you don't.

I would take out the Vault of the ArchangelMTG Card: Vault of the Archangels and the Sunpetal GroveMTG Card: Sunpetal Grove to put in 2 more Razorverge ThicketMTG Card: Razorverge Thickets and another Swamp. That way, you have 6 green lands instead of 5, and 8 black lands, and all of the greens are playable from turn 1 so that you can start playing your Birds of ParadiseMTG Card: Birds of Paradise. I know Vault of the ArchangelMTG Card: Vault of the Archangel is a great card, but because you're running 3 colors of mana, I really don't think you can afford to be dropping colorless mana.

Like I said, fantastic deck, and I think with a bit of tweaking it could be even better.

Avacyn Restored has a lot of stuff for this deck archetype.

Cathars' CrusadeMTG Card: Cathars' Crusade is absolutely monstrous. With all kinds of tokens, especially Increasing DevotionMTG Card: Increasing Devotion. It outshines Intangible VirtueMTG Card: Intangible Virtue even (hard to imagine, I know).

Craterhoof BehemothMTG Card: Craterhoof Behemoth is also a monster with tokens.

CloudshiftMTG Card: Cloudshift and Restoration AngelMTG Card: Restoration Angel will help you double up on all those token generating creatures with "enters the battlefield" (ETB) effects.

This deck needs some more removal to defend itself. I see you have a few Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Ring on the sideboard as of this writing. Consider also Beast WithinMTG Card: Beast Within. You need something to disrupt your opponent.

Champion of Lambholt MTG Card: Champion of Lambholt will also be a new staple in this deck archetype, I think. Pretty awesome, anyway.

KingofSpain's suggestion of Mimic VatMTG Card: Mimic Vat isn't bad. Parallel LivesMTG Card: Parallel Lives doubles its effectiveness, while your Geist-Honored MonkMTG Card: Geist-Honored Monk and Grave TitanMTG Card: Grave Titan and other things are pretty cool to put on the vat.

I didn't see Doomed TravelerMTG Card: Doomed Traveler mentioned anywhere.

Hero of BladeholdMTG Card: Hero of Bladehold is often an overlooked card that works great in any token deck.

i absolutely love this deck and will be purchasing it as soon as i can. my only issue is that against delver, Vapor Snag and other flicker or removal spells will murder tokens early on. so Drogskol Captain or something of the like may be necessary to contain spot removal. and it can be used in conjunction with Birds of Paradise

sweet. i just bought this deck and have rigorously played it. but it seems that people will always side in Ratchet Bomb and i will always be siding in Stony Silence

but what would you recommend taking out to make room for stony silence?

I suggest Bitterblossom but don't add that unless you add Sorin, Solemn Visitor. Also, you can add more removal and control while still having tokens with Voice of Resurgence, Monastery Mentor, and/or Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. As for planeswalkers, I believe that Elspeth, Knight-Errant can be better and Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is also a good option.

Fun deck! Every time I think of a comment I check your list and you have it already! What about Gavony Township? It's a great late game mana sink and unlike Vault its effects stack over time. Also, damage wins games, not life total.

If you get a chance check out my deck Abzan Beatdown. Totally different then what you are trying to do, but it's Junk and includes Gavony.

I would play two of Westvale Abbey  Flip. It could be another win condition.
