2 {Hero of Bladehold}
4 {Tidehollow Sculler}

2 {Elspeth, Knight-Errant}

1 {Dismember}
4 {Honor of the Pure}
3 {Inquisition of Kozilek}
1 {Intangible Virtue}
4 {Lingering Souls}
3 {Path to Exile}
3 {Raise the Alarm}
4 {Spectral Procession}
4 {Thoughtseize}
2 {Zealous Persecution}

4 {Godless Shrine}
4 {Isolated Chapel}
4 {Caves of koilos}
6 {Plains}
1 {City of Brass}
2 {Vault of the Archangel}
2 {Windbrisk Heights}

Thoughts? Open to help! Notes: do not have fetch lands or bobs. Another take on the deck I could do could be a more control deck list with pack rat, resto, or blade splicer, wall of omens and more removal along with the current disruption, more removal and less tokens. Thoughts?

Switch the numbers of virtue to honor you're running what 11 token producers? And 6 creatures. So virtue is wayyyyy better I'd say 4 Vitrue 2 Honor

I (and a few Pro Tour lists) actually agree with 4 Honor, 2 Virtue. Honor pumps every creature and token in the list, where as Virtue doesn't pump all. That being said, in lists that use {Bitterblossom}, Mattao is completely right.

Edit: Here is Craig Wescoe's list from PT BNG, for comparison:
4 Squadron Hawk
4 Doom Blade
2 Engineered Explosives
4 Honor of the Pure
2 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Lingering Souls
4 Path to Exile
4 Spectral Procession
3 Sword of War and Peace
4 Thoughtseize
4 Arid Mesa
3 Fetid Heath
4 Godless Shrine
3 Isolated Chapel
4 Marsh Flats
2 Plains (250)
1 Swamp (260)
3 Tectonic Edge
1 Vault of the Archangel

Craig's thoughts on Honor vs. Virtue: "Put simply, Hawk is overall better in BW Tokens than Bitterblossom, even if the latter allows you to play Intangible Virtue over Honor of the Pure. Vigilance is usually only relevant against Affinity, which is already one of our best matchups."
