Best way to utilize Doran EDH

[Arbitratur]

So I recently made a  {Doran, the Siege Tower} EDH, I have compiled a bunch of creatures for this deck but obviously lower casting cost higher defense is the the better options in this deck to fully take full potential of Doran, so what creatures come to mind when u guys think of this?

Also is it worth it to run some ramp in here? Mana dorks? Spells?

Lastly what are good ways to protect  {Doran, the Siege Tower}? I have in  {Indestructibility},  {Mask of Avacyn}, what are the best ways of protection?

Sadly, you can't protect from a board wipe. But some Artifacts that might help are: {Champion's Helm}, {Swiftfoot Boots}, {Lightning Greaves}, and {Whispersilk Cloak}.

Also, here is a deck that had some great ideas to build around. I know it's not an EDH, but it made me want to run Treefolk decks for LIFE after looking at it: http://www.mtgvault.com/zxc/decks/unstoppable-treefolk/

Hope this helps!

No offense but this is edh and is a completely different format from the deck u showed

No offense to you sir either but at least she was posting something of use while all you posted was a comment to put her down, and anyway I do appreciate her posting that because almost all treefolk pretty much make use of  {Doran, the Siege Tower}'s ability, so that deck she posted actually gave me some good ideas, please try to be respectful of others

:\ I thought I stated it wasn't an EDH deck, but that it has some good ideas (such as creatures and other spells) to draw from. I'm sorry if you misunderstood....

Too bad it has defender (

[Double-O-Scotch]

So when it blocks it deals 13 damage to the attacker? Ok!

I know defeders can attack, i just dont think its a good choise to spend a lot o card slots in a deck and pray for the lords of the odds to get lucky and be able to attack...
Of course its extremely fun, but i dont know...
I still think that a great use to doran is use some great ramping spells and thinks like {death grasp}, {exsanguinate}, {debt to the deathless} & stuff... All this together with {brawn} and some treefolks is VERY powerfull!
But hey, thats just my humble opinion

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

{Darksteel Plate} can protect from board wipes.
If removal like {Path to Exile} is popular, use {Lightning Greaves}...

I would assume  {Rolling Stones} works the same as  {Animate Wall} that it only affects walls and not just a defender of a different type?
