I need help with my deck Swarm and Conquer regarding whether to use Angel of Jubilation or Glorious Anthem . Any help is appreciated.

or should I keep Angel of Jubilation and replace Midnight Haunting with Glorious Anthem ?

I'd say take Angel of Jubilation . For the one extra mana you get a 3/3 flier that also puts a stop to most Golgari, morbid and sacrifice decks.

I'd also say keep Midnight Haunting .

I was edging towards keeping Angel of Jubilation anyway. My question now becomes do you think I should take out 1 Midnight Haunting for a Glorious Anthem ? Or should I keep it the way it is. I need a balance of token cards and cards that power them up. Or as another possibility should I get rid of one Mirror Entity for one Glorious Anthem ? I'm having trouble deciding.

You have 24 lands, and you only need 20-22 for a mono coloured deck. I'd say take out 2-3 lands for 2-3 Glorious Anthem .

Definitely keep Mirror Entity because that can turn all your tiny tokens into huge monsters.

Maybe look into the populate mechanic from RTR. card:Trostani's Judgment, Rootborn Defenses and Eyes in the Skies would work wonders in that deck.

I really like my land balance as it is. I've tried others, but I keep running into a lack of mana. As for the populate cards, I've looked into them, but I never saw anything that really looked great to me. I personally prefer just the cards that give tokens like Spectral Procession , Raise the Alarm , Gather the Townsfolk , and Midnight Haunting . Thanks though.

Can't go wrong with Angel of Jubilation

the main reason people wouldn't play angel over other anthem effects is because she's open to more common forms of removal, creature removal is the most common you'll find in a deck and so she's much easier to get off the board vs anthem which has a more limited suite of removal spells that hit it
