take out Parallel Lives, Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage. and Birds of Paradise. Noble Hierarch is thousands of times better than the birds. The guildmage should be something cheaper to activate, and Parallel Lives doesn't do anything the turn it comes down. Too slow.

ok ill definitely add in the hierarch. for the other two, late game i have excess mana...alot of it. the guild mage uses the excess mana ad populates about 2-3 / elementals or 8/8 for four a piece...or even acting as an Advent of the Wurm instant...saves my butt a lot. Parallel lives i keep in there since there is nothing i know that could replace it. i usually don't like having it on my first hand but in late game is very helpful. by late game Wayfaring is big enough and bad enough to hit the opponent often so using it to pop out another token is great. this also becomes a big help when combines with the guildmage (use often) and Trostani.
if you still think i should get rid of them, what should i replace them with? plus, how should i go about control/burn?

With burn i think you are better off siding in Leyline of Sanctity
February 11, 2015 1:13 p.m.
incase of going against burn or control, ill swap out Parallel Lives for the Leyline of Sanctity

the problem with the guildmage is that it costs too much mana for weak effects. As a matter of fact, you might want to just play Hatebears.

I agree that the guildmage is underpowered unless the board is just perfect. You might try a couple of Hero of Bladehold at the top of the curve just to be able to get value without paying any mana. I know I was kicking a deck around that looked much like this a few weeks ago, but I don't have the Voice of Resurgence so I let it go. Still, it looks like a fun deck!

This is why modern never appealed to me...so many choices...so many hard choices. Huildmage has saved my butt more times than I can frankly remember. Two mana..pssh that's nothin. Four to populate ANYof my big creatures...pssh extra land is going straight to her. Late game shows her true strength since I mainly am top decking at that point.
Blade hold...probably the best idea for a swap for guildmage. But as most people see this, it appears to be an aggro...I don't play it like that...maybe sometimes. I play it as if it's a defensive deck and if there is an opening, I take it. idk if it's the best way but it's how I run this deck an bladehold makes this run too fast. If I happen to run across any, I'll make sure to get them to just experiment.

Hey man, love that about the game. Build something you enjoy and play it!
February 11, 2015 9:45 p.m.
You know what, I think I'll take out a temple and a guildmage to add two bladeholds. So I have two separate methods or one sweet cohesive...By George I got it!

If you can get your hands on some copies of Horizon Canopy, that would be an improvement, I'll give it some more thought, but The only other thing I can suggest is Path to Exile. Nice looking token deck.
February 12, 2015 12:08 p.m.
I'll put that on my side board incase if someone is running an aggro weenie deck were I need to spot kill somthing My charm can't reach...I know just the person to get Horizon Canopies from...mwahahaha. If there is any side board change suggestions for control or burn...you will become my favorite person.

I run 4 Leyline of Sanctity and 2 Aegis of the Gods on the side in my Bogle Nobody Fucks With The Jesus! (4-0)deck for burn or discard matchups. I'm usually quicker than the control decks, so I don't tech for them too much.
February 12, 2015 2:29 p.m.
I beleive I will only need two sanctity because they seem only nessary in the beggining phase of the battle. For Aegis, I'll add him in when I find a good possible substitute...maybe a One guildmage and a temple...possibilities. But when going against burn, rarely ever do they target me, my retires are being the ones that are burned because many cans ramp so fast. my main problem is going against control.

I think the Silence is good, and so is the Choke for anti control, so you've already got a good start, I saw someone mentioned The Loxodon Smiter, which is good as well, though it doesn't really fit your token theme.. .. what do do you think of Ready / Willing over the Rootborn Defenses? mostly ready of course. although you do have the birds, so you could pop the willing as well.
February 12, 2015 5:58 p.m.
I like the populate factor on rootborn and I think ill just keep it. If I ran 1/1 token populate, I'd add the split card. Loxodon smiter. Used to be in this deck for control help...now I have Voice of resurgence...and that is like a bagillion times better for a token deck.
Over all, I think I may be good against control but I never truely know due to no one playing it in my area. After I started and ran a kick butt aggro selesnya, every one wants to beat me the same way. I've never lost to another aggro when this was standard and havnt lost yet to local modern players...and they said their good (I think their bluffing). So Ya...this deck has not control/burn experience.
