Unfortunately with no Scry Land you need a few {Selesnya Guildgate}s, also id say up your land by 1, or add in {Sylvan Caryatid}

I do like the deck. I would definitely think about {Alpha Authority} and {Rootborn Defenses}. Authority is a beast enchantment, and it goes good with Defenses. Stop both spot and wrath removal.

Put the {Rootborn Defense} in the sideboard.

I wouldn't drop the Ethereal Armor. I'm thinking:

- {Devout Invocation}
- {Growing Ranks}
+ 2x {Alpha Authority}

Then:

- 2x {Ready // Willing}
+ 2x {Rootborn Defenses}

You get the indestructible, plus the populate. Since you're not running black it works better.

Eh, I'd probably have to disagree. I would keep the ready//willing over rootborn defenses mostly because you can swing in freely and randomly make your whole team block/kill

I want to use growing ranks due to its an enchantment plus allows me to make more tokens and with trostani I gain life

Ok. Nice point. Maybe sideboard the {Rootborn Defenses}.

I need help with my side board and options I can do with main board
Title: Re: Selesnya Life Gain And Enchantments

Sideboard options- {Rarchet Bomb} great against tokens, {Artisan's Sorrow} we now live in enchantment land + you know, scy 2!, {Blind Obedience} for those pesky RDW's, {Pithing Needle} deals with {Aetherling} and PW's, {Glare of Heresy} deals well with {Voice of Resurgence} & {Boros Reckoner}.

Suggestions: {Ethereal Armor} is in the top 5 best cards from the RTR block. Also, if you are going life gain I would recommend {Hero's Reunion}

I'mretty sure that I'm not gonna focus on life gain. I'm taking that out.

{Selesnya Charm} deals with any god (if it's active) and any monstrous threat except {Stormbreath Dragon}.

You also want a way to deal with {Master of Waves}, and G/W doesn't have much to do that. Green's options are {Time to Feed}, {Polukranos}, and {Pit Fight}, but the latter is also {R}, so you can't use it. You can use {Banisher Priest}, but one end of turn {Disperse}, {Cyclonic Rift}, or {Rapid Hybridization} and you're in trouble. I'm a fan of {Last Breath}. Instant speed, kills him for good, and that deck taps out a lot and doesn't play a lot of counters, so it's pretty safe.

Depending how much life you are gaining, you should consider  {Voracious Wurm}

Simple turn four combo is  {Heroes' Reunion} and then the wurm. He drops in as a 9/9. :)
