Have you thought about {Intangible Virtue}? it may be unnecessary, since it looks like Champion would just make everything unblockable. But if you're looking on another way to make sure you don't get overrun looking for a champion, I.V. Might be your best bet. {Garruk Relentless} is a surprisingly good addition to your deck, if you can get ahold of a couple. He makes tokens when flipped or not, his first form has a minor form of control, and his Veil-Cursed form has a free tutor and gives everything trample and bonuses. The tutor gets out Champion, the tokens pump him up. Just my two cents!

I don't know about the {Intangible Virtue} don't get me wrong I think it's great but I think it might slow the deck down but I will give them and try, as for {Garruk Relentless} I would love to add him to this deck but need to get my hands on some. Ty for the thoughts

I am also having some trouble putting the side board not sure what's going to help this deck against say a fast deck or crazy control

{timely reinforcements} is a nice SB card for this deck.  Gain needed life against RDw or get back some tokens after a {ratchet bomb} wipes your side of the board.

Yes, token heavy decks are hugely threatened by the {ratchet bomb} so when the side 4 in you could side in stuff like {lumberknot} and {unruly mob}

Also I think you should run 4 of your champs as they will be your strongest creature you will want to swing with.

Also as you are already ramping and are needing protection from mass removals you could look towards {avacyn, angel of hope}

I ran a token deck in salt lake and found shrine of loyal legions to be the perfect recovery from ratchet bomb and would be hilarious with crusade on board not to mention the psuedo haste of EOT creature creation.
As for removal mortar pod is stupid good with vault of the archangel ( deathtouch) but black garruk wolves would work instead of messing with your colors.
Angelic destiny also packs a heavy punch that oppenents dont tend to count on.
Corossive gail, grafdiggers cage, timely, ratchet bomb always make good sideboard cards, not to forget gutshot for against delver and enemy birds.

You should splash some black for {Lingering Souls} flashback. Birds may die or you may not draw one (it happens). Maybe just 2 swamps, and a {Woodland Cemetery}. Something like that.
