With that said, not sure on tips, because besides {Aura Shards} and {Enlightened Tutor}, mine is mono-{G} 😕

I'd probably drop trostani. She seems okay but not great.

Thing is that trostani creatures 3 different types of tokens.  My {1} CMC commander makes copies of each different "type" of tokens.  The goal of this deck is token spamming with my commander if I am not casting awesome spells ;)

I am thinking {sigil captain} and {mentor of the meek} should come out since my anthem effects will most likely have tokens entering the BF with power higher than normal.

Added {nomad assembly} and {mikaeus the lunarch} in their place.

{Storm Herd}
{Primal Vigor}
{Myr Battlesphere}
{Phantom General}
{Alliance of Arms}
{Darien, King of Kjeldor}
{Beast Within}
{Giest-Honoured Monk}

Just suggestions. I'm not sure of what to remove! I do so love token spam decks!

Thanks for the suggestions!  I did just take out some of this to make room for a little mana ramp.  Primal vigor is in here.  I do love the removal of beast within and storm herd seems insane.  What to take out is the big question.

I took it for a spin on untap.in which was my first experience on that site.  Around T10 I swing with 13 flying Pegasus tokens for a total damage of 104 and that was not even counting my other creatures and tokens.

I am in love 😍

{growing ranks} is a must for token decks

It's just one extra token per turn though.  I considered it but I am looking for more bang for my buck than 1 token a turn.

I can't remember the names, but there's a spell that populates all of your tokens with flashback and a spell that makes a 1/1 saproling with buyback. {earthcraft} would also be good
{parallel evolution} is the spell and I took it out because my commander's second ability does that exact same thing so having the spell is kinda redundant since I already have it repeatable.  I chose {phyrexian altar} over {earthcraft} just cuz I only have so many basics.  Would you recommend removing anything for your suggested adds?

I wrote a deck tech article on this today at "work".  Yes I got paid to spend about 6 hours tinkering around with what turned out to be an enjoyable 2000+ words of writing :)

We are slow cuz winter but I am salary so I'll take advantage before I start working 60-80 hours a week again ;)

Nice read!
So I take it that you like this deck more than Nekusar?

Yea but I do like Nekusar a lot as well.  Something about this build entranced me and I really enjoyed delving into it and researching each individual card and changing the list around.
I may end up writing a bit more on why I chose to take out certain cards in this deck like {glare of subdual}, {avenger of zendikar}, {rampaging baloths}, and some others.

I don't particularly want to look at each card to find out what to take out because time. 😜

Also, where's mana crypt, mana vault, basalt monolith, grim monolith, chrome mix and mox diamond?  Ramp ist sehr Bueno!
I am ok with the ramp in here.  {sol ring} is the only colorless ramp I want to run.  I am happy with {priest of Titania}, {joraga treespeaker}, {elvish archdruid}, {wirewood channeler}, {cultivate}, etc

{voice of resurgence} seems good and I'm not sure about it but {hornet queen} ?

Also {bow of nylea} would be a pain with all the little 1/1 tokens running around

Death touch tokens are good in EDH

Yea bow is in here for that reason.  I took out hornet queen for the bow.  If you see something to take out for queen then I am all ears.

My bad, didn't see the bow was already in there 😁 but love the build. I love/hate this site because I love the game and love how smart all of y'all are to put together these decks with these crazy amount of combos gathered over years and years and years, It makes me buy more and more and more lol. It's crazy yet admirable and awesome. Goodluck, and kickass with it brotha

Thanks.  I only have a few more cards to get to finish the build.
