I would put in a {grove of the gaurdian} and a {wayfaring temple} or 2
The Temple sounds interesting but I only have 8 token makers and have to hold them sometimes so it wouldn't be consistent enough.  I definitely don't want Grove because I need all the colored mana I can get for {Champion of Lambholt} and post-sideboard {Predator Ooze}.  That's the same reason I couldn't fit {Precinct Captain} in (well, and the fact that my opponents will probably get a blocker before I can land him in the current meta).  As for {Rancor}, I've considered it but I want to use all the creature slots I can get.  Why give Champion +2/+0 and Trample when I can use {Gather the Townsfolk} or {Midnight Haunting} to give it +2/+2 and in many cases unblockability?

EDIT: Just tested {Wayfaring Temple} just in case.  It doesn't work, and that was with a {Gather the Townsfolk}.

You can still suggest edits for this if you want.  I'm waiting for my friends to find bits of it they'll trade to me before I buy so I haven't actually bought it yet.

get the lands too! thats what will make this deck more effective. plus you can reuse them in other decks, and not to mention they will hold their value even after rotation.
I know, but I don't have the money to buy them all at once (well I do but I don't favor making bank withdrawals before I go to college which is a long way off) so I'm buying them when I can.  I bought a {Temple Garden} at my LGS last week but they only had one so stock might be another issue unless I grab those online too...

I would suggest running a few indestructible guys to combat some of the agro push.

Namely  {Angelic Overseer} for those later game heavy hitters and  {Predator Ooze} for some threat of your own. (Shouldn't be a problem to cast with arbor and all those duals)

Both could live in the sideboard till game two.
That's a great idea.  I'll throw them and a few {Burning-Tree Emmisary}s in the deck and buy the list (minus the lands because price)

I love 2-for-1s in these decks, like {Gather the Townsfolk} or {Midnight Haunting}.  I love the fling though.  Also, especially if you're running red, I'd try {Burning-Tree Emmisary}, but maybe only in the side.

You have 13 one drops. I would drop the Beetles for 4 {Thragtusks}.
Way out of my budget.  I'll put in some Doomsayers and Travelers (how did I not think of those before?!) but I'm not a fan of {Growing Ranks}.

EDIT: {Thraben Doomsayer}'s mana cost bothers me.  I'll put a pair in my side but none maindeck for now.

I don't think {Experiment One} will work well, it didn't in my version... Try some {Bond Beetle}s instead, maybe.

Oh wow, Voice's price went up another $5... I might end up selling it instead...

EDIT: maindecking it for now though...

{Restoration Angel} would be a nice surprise in this deck.
I've considered it but shot it down because of price, in both mana and money, and because I hate playing against the card and couldn't bear to put my opponents through it (a dumb reason, I know...).  Also, there wouldn't be too many good targets; a {Bond Beetle} or {Geist-Honored Monk} if I'm lucky, But a board full of tokens and Champions if I'm not.  Also, I'll throw the Adaption and {Nevermore} in the side, along with the one Voice I pulled at the prerelease.  I would maindeck a {Forced Adaptation} or two but I want to conserve creature slots.  Thanks everyone!

I have returned, and brought with me a deck.  It wins to most things but is crushed by aggro... Not much I can do about that unless {Path to Exile} is reprinted in M14.  Anyways, I can't think of many suitable sideboard cards for this, can anyone help?  Thanks!
NOTE: {Beck//Call} does NOT work in here.  It's a lot less synergistic than it seems and it's not worth the extra color.

I didn't have the space, I'd considered it and still do but I don't know what to take out.

Oh, a Legacy player taught me the term, it's when your creatures can be "knocked out" but not killed, just like Pokèmon in the video games.  Melira Pod in Modern is the most popular form of Pokèmon deck right now, for example.
How do yours only get knocked out? With Flux?
Notice most of my creatures have undying.  I attack with them, and they come back with undying.  If I have {Ooze Flux} out, I can get rid of all of their +1/+1 counters at once for 1G, and now if they die again undying triggers again because they have no +1/+1 counters.  And I get an Ooze token in the process!  {Zameck Guildmage} also works if I don't draw a Flux, but I need 2 colors rather than 1 and it can only target one creature at a time.  Still, the card draw is nice.
