Any new ideas for easy-ish standard decks to play? I usually play a GW Sigarda, Heron's Grace token deck, so I use mostly White and Green. As for the deck that I need help with, that'll be my

One thing to note about Champion of Rhonas though is that you do not get cast triggers because they are placed into play not cast, so Desolation Twin will not make a token nor will Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger exile two permanents.

darklinglion398 That is a great point. I actually didn't even think of that. That is something to definitely consider ACDAMAN. Its not a game changer (you are still getting a 10/10 Body on turn 5, for virtually nothing), but definitely a consideration.

Hmmm... WarrKing darklinglion398 that downfall from the cast triggers doesn't help very much... I'm gonna try to throw in an Ulamog as it still has the 20 card exile... The Twins would be pretty much next to useless, as it wouldn't trigger and wouldn't have any other effects... Though Ulamog is insanely pricey, I might dish out a few to get one or two. Thanks for the suggestions!

As for the deck, it looks fairly solid, though I question the Thraben Inspectors. Other than Tireless Tracker I don't see a major need for clues in your deck. Maybe replace it with creatures that untap your Champion of Rhonas (for extra uses) like Ahn-Crop Champion or Initiate's Companion , Or a game ending mosnter for Champion of Rhonas to drop Brisela, Voice of Nightmares is great, but requires two cards to be dropped in, maybe something like Desolation Twin (two monsters for the price of one) Void Winnower (shut down any answers your opponent may have) or the ever ready Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. Because of your Angels, you would only need one or two of these monsters to round it all out, though we may want to watch the mana curve after that. We don't want to mess up your early game. If nothing else I would 100% recommend pushing your Evolving Wilds up to 4. They pair amazingly with Tireless Tracker and help thin out your deck of unwanted lands later in the game, while helping you get all of your colors in the early game.
