Trostani Likes Big Butts... is my Selesnya deck that isn't auras. It's about utilizing creatures that are bigger or better than their CMC.
Right now I have U as my companion color just for Cyclonic Rift , it's an incredibly useful instant that has a special place in my heart because of it's flexibility and ability to clear the board for an alpha strike.
I've been doing some thinking though and I've been wondering if a splash of another color would be a better choice. I have all of the relevant Scry and shocklands so that isn't an issue.
If you were to run another color let me know what you would be splashing for.
In your particular deck, I highly recommend black. Blue will almost definitely force you into a control shell, which albeit good, isn't what trostani wants to do. Black will help in disruption techniques which will allow you to get out your fatties and Elspeth before losing to aggro. You also gain access to Golgari Charm which is always a positive thing. You can even use Ready / Willing if you think you're up to the challenge! ;P
In addition to all of this, you also gain access to Debt to the Deathless , which, while not being very effective in standard, gets much better with the help of Karametra. Just something to think about.

Since Trostani is the "core", I've been wanting to try splashing B in a selesnya deck for Abrupt Decay and I think Trostani will really like Obzedat, Ghost Council . BB shouldn't be problem on T5+. Then there's lots of strong Golgari or Orzhov cards to pick from, SB Baron? (hitting his 30+ life requirement can be easy)
