Use Call of the Herd. It is good against discard and removal. You will have resiliency.

hey man loving the decks direction something i used at an fnm was a bant list based around Trostani, Selesnya's Voice that also ran Geist of Saint Traft where you can populate the tokens produced when he attacksand give a tonne of lifegain every turn. I ran Selesnya Charm in that deck more for the flash 2/2 than any other mode. as a bonus you can also play Snapcaster Mage which can allow you to flashback Call of the Conclave, Advent of the Wurm and Selesnya Charm. anyway just noticed you were running a trostani deck and thought i'd give some input

Okay, this deck seems a bit interesting. I have been playing modern for a while now and I have a few suggestions. To keep this short, I will just give you a list of what I would be changing and try to give a quick explanation.

First off you have too many cards at 65, so this is the five I would cut right off the bat.

-1 Beastmaster Ascension-2 Sundering Growth-3 Call of the Conclave

To quickly explain this, the Beastmaster Ascension is just a win more card, if this card ever has 7 or more counters on it, you are already winning that game. Call of the Conclave is way too slow and honestly doesn't do much. Sundering Growth is really more of a sideboard card as a lot of decks don't play any artifacts or enchantments and this would just be a dead card in your hand a lot of the time.

Now let us get down to business. Hopefully this will be very enlighting for you.

Creatures to remove.

-2 Courser of Kruphix-3 Fleecemane Lion-2 Kytheon, Hero of Akros-3 Loxodon Smiter-3 Wilt-Leaf Liege-2 Hero of Bladehold

Total gone - 15

Now these creatures are all pretty good in their own right, I just feel like they don't really fit the deck idea. If you want to be some kind of token deck these don't really provide much. As for the Hero of Bladehold, I was making a choice between that and Brimaz, King of Oreskos. They are both good and are easily interchangeable but running both gets pretty clunky.

Creatures to add.

+1 Birds of Paradise+1 Trostani, Selesnya's Voice+1 Brimaz, King of Oreskos

Total in - 3

This should leave your creature suit looking something like this.

4 Birds of Paradise3 Brimaz, King of Oreskos3 Trostani, Selesnya's Voice4 Voice of Resurgence

This is now only leaving you with 14 creatures instead of the 26 you had, but all that will be made up with more token generation and other spells.

Instants and Sorceries.

Removing

-3 Druid's Deliverance-1 Overwhelming Stampede

Total gone - 4

Quick explanation here. The Druid's Deliverance just doesn't seem good enough, you probably just want more business spells and if you have to blow one while you have no tokens in play, it just feels really bad. As for the Overwhelming Stampede you should only ever need to cast it the once to win a game.

Now we didn't really remove much from here but there is tons of space from the creatures being removed.

Added spells.

+4 Spectral Procession+3 Advent of the Wurm+2 Raise the Alarm+4 Path to Exile

Total in - 13

Now your spells should look like this.

4 Path to Exile4 Spectral Procession4 Selesnya Charm3 Advent of the Wurm2 Raise the Alarm1 Overwhelming Stampede

This is leaving you with a total of 18 spells. This is a much better spot to be in for a token style deck. Although I am not a big fan of Selesnya Charm, I think it is probably fine in this style of a deck. Also I did add to the number of Advent of the Wurm you would be playing as well as moving the two from the sideboard into the maindeck. It is an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4 mana, it's a really good as a surprise blocker or even just casting it end of turn so it can then attack on your turn. Path to Exile is kind of just a concession to needing some amount of removal in the maindeck in this format.

Now this is leaving your with 3 open slots for whatever you want. I would personally like to see something like

+2 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar+1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion

These will both give you a great late game finisher and can be really hard to deal with, with having to attack through your army of tokens and them both not dying to Abrupt Decay.

I am not going to touch on the sideboard as I am not totally sure what your meta is nor really what the really bad match ups for this would be right now.

Here is a list of other cards you could consider in the maindeck if you want to find room for them or can't afford or find some of the cards I have mentioned or you know, if you just want to play something else.

Essence WardenSoul WardenAuriok ChampionIntangible Virtue

Those are just off the top of my head. I hope this has helped you in some way. Good luck with the deck,

Oh one last thought. I left in the 4 Voice of Resurgence as the token it makes is probably just the best to target with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

I think 4x Intangible Virtue could really do wonders.

If you lean heavier towards tokens Worship might be a fun card to play around with.

Have you thought about adding Gavony Township and Knight of the Reliquary?

hunken I like the idea of putting Gavony Township in there. What lands should i take out? And the Knight of the Reliquary is a great card. Where would i put that in? And how many?

SilverIronMan says... #8

If you're going to run Knight of the Reliquary, I would recommend that you run four of them. They work well together. In a way, they serve a similar purpose as Courser of Kruphix and Loxodon Smiter. As such, I would cut two of each. Knight serves as ramp, color fixing, deck thinning, and can easily be bigger than Loxodon Smiter.

However, if you are going to run Knight, you will probably want to run more fetch lands. Personally, Temple of Plenty is a little slow. Additionally, as it is not a forest or a plains, it would be my first choice of cutting for more fetch lands/one Gavony Township.

Have you ever considered Goatnapper? I think it will be great in this deck

I would also suggest Noble Hierarch based on your colors. Adds to exalted and gives you mana. Also maybe instead of Sigarda, Host of Herons which is really only good against jund decks (not many decks cause you to sacrifice permanents), you could look into Sublime Archangel. Exalted stacks and if your looking to be aggro this could definitely be the way to go.
