This is an update of my last version, I need some help (not too expensive) filling the last two slots.

Seems like you need some more white mana symbols in your permanents.

He's right on the spot here. Your chroma count will be on average, 1.6(ish) I'd consolidate your mama base into white plus light splash. Is it worth having {Teleportal} unblockable Goats when you can instead {Cathars Crusade} them into wrecking balls with Chroma synergy?

Instead of red why not add anthem effects like {honor of the pure}?

Z5

Because of the synergy of legions initiative.

Yes it is believe it ir not that is about 1/2 my wins.

But how often do you win and against what decks?

Munchlax is on the spot here as well. +1.

The hidden portion of your sentence is: "...as it is built right now."

I look at your deck and see:
One fetch land.
6 vivid lands.
A high percentage of top deck "wrong" lands.

Ask yourself: how many games have been lost to color screw and/or being too slow? Now, compare that to your {Teleportal} wins.

If you really think keeping it is vital to your deck, then my main suggestion is to fortify your mana base with fetches and shocks. It isn't probably what you want to hear. Which is why I suggested the previous alternative: minimize your color dependencies.

Munchlax

Maybe consider replacing the springjack Shepard with something like {Stonehorn Dignitary}

NovusOrbis

{Boros Reckonet} for the white devotion.

You also mentioned synergy with {Legions Initiative}, however you also have negative synergy. All your tokens get exiled and cease to exist. Sure, you get more provided the shepherd comes back into play. It's still a risk.

Its a great idea, I have been experimenting but this design works fine, we are mostly using cards in our own collections eg. the single fetch. Also my deck wins 3/4 of the time against my friends brews (scape, goblin combo, dragonshift)
