'Tis the question I ask. Which do you prefer (and please post your reasons and deck you use it in). I'm trying to make my final choice for my deck Wolf Run JUNK

Rhox. Trostani is too color restrictive.
He is used most effectively when you have a Vault of the Archangel in play. Try fitting that into your deck.
Honestly though, I feel like the deck in general would be most effective by converting it towards a bit more of a JUNK Rites deck.

@Shabobi: Junk Midrange is a really powerful deck, though. It's not prone to getting completely owned by Deathrite Shaman or Rest in Peace .
Anywho, Rhox Faithmender is the stronger choice. I'd also cut Angel of Serenity , Deadbridge Goliath , and Sigarda, Host of Herons for four Restoration Angel . Another Vampire Nighthawk would also be stronger than rakdos return, considering you want to use your leftover mana on Kessig Wolf Run .

I don't have the Restoration Angel s which is why I have the other cards unfortunately.
Sigarda, Host of Herons OWNS Jund and control decks, and Deadbridge Goliath is an early to mid aggro stopper which can be scavenged later on anything else for a quicker turn clock.
Angel of Serenity is my plan for mid range decks, and will usually come out vs Blitz
I thought Rhox Faithmender was the better choice, but I wanted to see what others had to say about it
Thanks everyone!

I figured. I hope you're able to get some, because they'd be awesome in your deck. You could then use Sigarda, Host of Herons and Angel of Serenity in your sideboard, instead of Vraska the Unseen and Rakdos's Return .

I like having Vraska the Unseen in the sideboard vs Bant and Jund as she kills ANY permanent that they use and can stick around for a later game win con if need be. (or just user her again 2 turns later for something troublesome like another Angel of Serenity )
I built this deck in mind to splash red for Kessig Wolf Run AND Rakdos's Return to help in matches vs mid range/control decks

I use this in a green white life gain deck I like him better because I can have multiple out instead of 1 trostani. I use hero's reunion chalice of life elixir of immortality. My strategy is gain tons of life and stall until my win condition pops up.
