{Voice of Resurgence} > {Fleecemane Lion}

Also is splashing white for this Smiter and path even worth it?

Also this deck looks just too weak for modern at least with Green Stompy stuff like {Dungrove Elder} and that 3 mana 4/5 are bigger than most modern cards. Like sadly it looks like a worse mono green Stompy and that deck is already very bad :(

Voice of resurgence is way out of my price range at the moment, but i agree its better than lion.

I understand what you are trying to say, however i believe this will be very good in my local meta. I've already managed to win a few FNMs with mono green stompy, but i feel it is natural to progress into a white splash. We always have 8Rack, Affinity, Bant Coco, couple of Storm, then mostly rogue decks. So this is geared towards them, with the sideboard a work in process. I feel like this list has a few advantages over mono green.

Path to Exile > Prey Upon. Just better removal.
Fleecemane Lion > Kalonian Tusker. Better midgame threat with monstrous.
Loxodon Smiter > Leatherback Baloth. Smiter loses 1 toughness but its still bolt proof and is a decent bomb vs the 8rack player.

I will also probably be expanding the manabase with some temple gardens/razorverge thickets, and will probably end up building GW hatebears at some point.

Or wilted Abzan over hatebears, depending on your playstyle
