Deck Help forum

Hi, I'm currently trying to finish my deck for my first FNM and I'm actually lacking some cards before heading to it and I only have about 36 hours to find stuff to replace it.
So what I'm currently asking is for tips about what card can serve as replacement, (must be uncom/common from anything except DKA) I have access to couple of friends binder if needed I'll take any recommendation with joy :D
Sandal's Favorite is my optimal decklist, one I'm quite familiar with and I'd like to bring to GP in Quebec City after Gatecrash hits us and I'd have updated with the new cards.
Anyway here's the card I'm lacking and I'll need to replace in the next few hours I have before the FNM: 1x Moorland Haunt , 1x Detention Sphere , 2x Temple Garden , 1x Ajani, Caller of the Pride and last but not least 2x Geist of Saint Traft
I have access to several other rare btw, just not the one that I am missing, valuable rare are welcome also. Yeah like you said the mana won't be the biggest issue it's losing the Geist and the Ajani. As Ajani is usually a great finisher it's hard to find similar, I still have one but out of 60 cards the chance I'll see him are not so high.
Was thinking of borrowing one or two Sigarda, Host of Herons but I fell it mana cost could be problematic as my goal is to run the game fast and hit them hard asap. I've tried Silverblade Paladin for Double Strike but I really didn't like it since how week it is to removal spell.
Finally I'm grateful for your input I'll seek more low CMC card that fits the deck.

For the Temple Garden a Plains and a Forest will do fine. Moorland Haunt , Island or other blue source, losing the haunt wont be a tremendous loss. Detention Sphere is a bit more of a loss, but can be replaced by Oblivion Ring . Ajani, Caller of the Pride is a big loss and the only ability of his copiable in comm/uncomm is the +1/+1 ability so maybe Common Bond or Travel Preparations ? and there is no one quite like Geist of Saint Traft but a solid low cmc creature could be Dryad Militant .
