This deck has 3 main wincons: All of which revolve around Trostani, Selesnya's Voice 's effects.

• First and foremost, swing for lethal with a constantly growing army of tokens and some other creatures, maintaining your board filled with populate effects and token creators. (Such as Desolation Twin and Giant Adephage ).
• Second, use Trostani's lifegain effect to stock up on life, and use that life to kill opponents with Aetherflux Reservoir without having to risk yourself too much.

• Third, Felidar Sovereign 's win condition is extremely easy to fulfill with Trostani's lifegain effect, and with some other cards, it can be protect during a turn rotation to win.

• In order to do those things, it has several defensive creatures meant to make stuff harder to kill ( Deathless Angel , Shalai, Voice of Plenty , and Emmara Tandris ).

• Some non-creature cards that make you a harder target ( Join Shields , Sandwurm Convergence , or Darien, King of Kjeldor .
• And some cards that serve to gain a lot of life instantly, create plenty of blockers, or both, allowing you to attack more freely, without having to worry about being struck back. card:Serra Avatar + Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, White Sun's Zenith , March of the Multitudes .

Ramp-wise, it's pretty straightforward, using common 1-2 CMC green creatures and artifacts, along Growing Rites of Itlimoc   to put all the creatures the deck'll have in play to use.

Regarding removal, it's fairly limited, having only one wipe ( Akroma's Vengeance ), and a few removal creatures and sorceries. Ideally, by embalming Angel of Sanctions and then populating the tokens, you should be able to deal with plenty of threats, but only until they are destroyed. A card like Aura Shards would be ideal, but the budget I have to spend on this deck is fairly limited, and I've been unable to get it just yet.

This deck is my very first full commander deck, built from a couple Guild Boosters when GRN came out at first, which I've been slowly tweaking as time goes on (I've had it for less than a year, though), so I'd be thankful for any tips regarding what sort of card would be nice to add in, and which ones to take out.

So far it's been fairly good in multiplayer games, not winning too often due to the hate that it's amount of life-gain brings, but it's been able to hold its own against during most of the games I've played, against fairly optimized (but not necessarily really competitive decks), but I still feel it could be just a bit stronger, so any help is appreciated.
