Working on my Selesnya build for standard Come hear my voice. This is an aggro/mid range build with an emphasis on 4-5 CMC creatures. Life gain and token generation help with the midrange matchup. While any advice would be welcome, I'm undecided between three choices:
Option 1: 3x Rootborn Defenses in the sideboard for matchups with lots of removal/wrath. In this configuration the deck will be just Selesnya. Currently, this is not the build.
Option 2: 3x Ready / Willing in the side. Swapped out some plains and forests for black mana sources (8 total), and took out one Gavony Township utility land for a Vault of the Archangel . This also allows me to play 2x deathrite shamen in the side. This is the current set up and I like it because it really helps me against Junk rites, gives me more life gain sources and adds death touch to allow continued pressure in the face of blockers.
Option 3: go further into Junk for accessory support. Specifically, bringing in Abrupt Decay and putrify at least into the sideboard. Perhaps more...
I would Beverly greatful if the tapped out experts would take a look and offer suggestions. Please feel free to test drive it and let me know how it handles in a Pepsi challenge against your favorite standard deck. I don't play online so it's hard for me to test drive and I only get to my shop once a month, so this sort of feedback helps me a ton. Most of my meta is not aggro, and those that play aggro are the weakest players. There is a core group of solud players tgat play really solid: junk rites, jund midrange, esper control, etc. Thanks all!

Stupid autocorrect. This is why posting to tapped out on a iPhone can be a pain
