My main strategy is to get aggressive early with Loxodon Smiter by turn two, 4/4 on two is a solid drop, and then try to build up to the heavier hitting tokens with Grove of the Guardian and Armada Wurms. In general, it's consistently aggressive and the removal helps to stall out the opponent. Any thoughts?

Edit

This deck did simply amazing at my local spot; was able to win 18 of 18 matches, though some were not as competitive as others. Here's how it broke down:

For Burn Decks, esp RDW, I sided in a couple Druid's Deliverance in order to survive the beating until I could get my Thragtusk or Trostani, Selesnya's Voice out to get life back. Thanks to several turn two drops of Loxodon Smiter I was able to stem off most of their initial front. The matches were close and the lifegain really came in handy. 3 or 4 were vs burn decks, would've probably lost a couple games if played more.

I was unfortunate enough to play a couple rounds vs a unique flying token/ esper control deck. I sided in a couple of Sundering Growths to deal with Favorable Winds that the guy was using to pump up his tokens. Similar to the burn decks, my early Smiters and Wayfaring Temple were key to putting him on the defensive. For two of the games, we both essentially stalled until my Increasing Savagery saved the day.

Vs the Jund decks that were so popular in my area I was able to show how Sigarda, Host of Herons is truly a host of whoopass. One game I kept having to sacrifice my creatures, yes even Loxodon, until I top decked Sigarda turn 5 and flaskbacked Increasing Savagery turn 7 for a 20/20 hexproof flier.

Vs several Azorius opponents I was able to steamroll with token production, they couldn't keep up with 2 5/5 wurm tokens every turn (while gaining 10 life), In one match my opponent tried to wipe the board with Supreme Verdict, so I snuck in a Rootborn Defenses and won the next turn.
