Why not include an Archangel of Thune ? you have about eleven cards that gain you life, and she just helps turn your 1/1's into at least 3/3's. Plus, she nearly assures that Ghave, Guru of Spores never runs out of counters. Best combination would be them plus Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . You could just feed all of your mana into it a huge amount of creatures. Also, you could throw in a Sorin Markov . You should usually have the advantage of board presence, so making their life total 10 would be a game winning move almost every time you played him.

Unfortunately I don''t have Archangel of Thune and its still very expensive to get one. Maybe with time. Sorin Markov is rather interesting suggestion I might give him a try even though I mostly play multiplayer so his ability is not that relevant.

Boundless Realms and then fix that mana base >.< basic lands man. Basic lands win games.

Soul Foundry (especially with something like Doubling Season out) can give you a lot of useful counter creatures. Eternal Witness is always good. Epic Struggle would be fun.

Mikaeus, the Lunarch can put counters on your boss, so could Contagion Engine (and the engine almost counts as a board wipe as well).

With this same boss (and same basic idea) you could make an elf deck with all 3 main elf colors and tons of counters.

@ravanstrike I know that I need more basic lands. just not sure what to swap.

@carpecanum I don't like elf decks so no thanks and Epic Struggle is simply a no way. I'm actualy thinking about removing Sanguine Bond so there would be no loops in the deck.

I would start by making all your basics 10.10 Plains 10 Forest s and 10 Swamp s. Then go thru your non basic lands and explain why you have them on the list. After that pick the 10 best. And you got a start

Aldo if you are running Vraska the Unseen then you must run Rogue's Passage

I would replace Knight Watch and Moan of the Unhallowed for Sigil Captain and Juniper Order Ranger

I would also add Ashnod's Altar somewhere in your list, maybe replace for Call of the Conclave .

ravanstrike says... #9

well if he wanted to keep the style of Moan of the Unhallowed he could add in Army of the Damned as a kind of win more thing.

I totally agree though Ashnod's Altar would be great as well as Sigil Captain and Juniper Order Ranger

@Classic_JP thanks for suggestion. I will definitely swap Knight Watch for Juniper Order Ranger but I would like to keep Moan of the Unhallowed

@ravanstrike I already have Army of the Damned

@scorchedskiddie wow thanks. didn't knew about some of these cards :) There's no need then for Emmara Tandris then

March 22, 2014 9:51 a.m.

gitruih says... #13

The problem remains the same. I need to get rid of 31 cards

March 22, 2014 9:52 a.m.

it says you have 2x Parallel Lives . If you are wanting to go with a massive token army and go around the defenses you can take out cards like Unflinching Courage . Trostani's Summoner is a bit expensive for me. Angelic Accord is a bit too limited IMO. another I would take a hard look at Strionic Resonator .

gitruih says... #16

Well there is a fair bit of cards that would activate Strionic Resonator so I would like to keep it. Didn't noticed additional Lives. Eldrazi Monument is a rather interesting card...

March 22, 2014 11:04 a.m.

gitruih says... #17

Also I'm thinking about adding Thespian's Stage to combo with Dark Depths

March 22, 2014 11:11 a.m.

With a lot of tokens out Eldrazi Monument makes a big difference

March 22, 2014 11:40 a.m.

gitruih says... #19

Yeah and worst case I have Awakening Zone to sac if needed

March 22, 2014 12:16 p.m.

Thespian's Stage wouldn't combo with Dark Depths . you would just have a 2nd Depths without the ice counter on it

March 25, 2014 5:51 a.m.

gitruih says... #21

Exactly. And then I would need to sacrifice it since there is no counters on it.

March 25, 2014 6:03 a.m.

gitruih says... #22

@scorchedskiddie either way it's in maybeboard so i'll deal with it after I cut down to 99 cards

March 25, 2014 7:12 a.m.

@gitruih you are correct. I misread Dark depths when i read it the first time.

I would cut Leyline of the Meek : a four mana anthem for token only, i'm not so sure.

I would like to help you cut some cards for your deck, but i need to know what's the main goal of your deck: you want to spawn as much of tokens? to combo?

I noticed you added every token cards possible regardless of their usefulness/mana cost, Is that for the flavor, or you are looking to use the most usefull one?

March 25, 2014 11:44 a.m.

gitruih says... #25

@Classic_JP this deck is token oriented. I want to spam as many of them as possible give them +1 with boosters and overrun opponents. It's not every possible but yea it is for the flavor. I'm thinking about cutting some on life gaining side...
