Seance (won't link since I don't have the e accented anyway) seems like it could be some edh funsies/extra recursion in the deck, since it seems to lack in that regard. It allows you to make a token of anything, which is...erm...good.

Praetor's council or elixir of immortality are also always champs in edh.

[Manasjap]

[card]Séance[/card] would be a nice addition indeed, the populated token will not be exiled I guess?

[Glimyrpost]

That is correct, the populated token would not be exiled.

Don't forget Doubling Season (though I don't know how expensive it is now)

Centaur's Herald is fairly weak.....why not try out the far more powerful -and tougher to remove - Centaur Glade?


Also Crush of Wurms is still an awesome card.

Riptide Replicator is also a solid token maker.

[Azrael]

Needs more rebel chain. Lin Sivvi/Bound in Silence/Mirror Entity and company is one of the more broken things white creature-y decks can do in EDH to stack up damage and card advantage quickly.

[Manasjap]

Played a few games with the deck last night, and usually found myself being too busy doing all sorts of stuff to be casting the big guys (Terastodon etc). Gonna make some changes and see if I can pick up one of those [card]Séance[/card] things along with some cheap dudes that fix my mana.
@ King Spam: At the moment Doubling season is out of my price range for the deck, it would definitely be a great addition though.

[Second Harkius]

Token decks generally don't need huge bombs when the focus is on spewing out a million little dudes. Or if you're going to have some bombs, there are cards like Verdeloth the Ancient that double as fatties and token makers.

[Azrael]

Unless he packs a lot more card advantage and ramping/doubling into the deck, his curve should probably max out at 6ish.

Its pretty awkward building a token-y deck like this one optimally without access to expensive stuff like Gaea's Cradle though, or at least some staples like Gaddock Teeg, Land Tax, and Skullclamp. Its a narrow card pool, and without some pretty serious work it going to struggle having enough staying power to hang tough vs. board sweepers and actually disrupt the other guys a bit.

Rebel chains with Mirror Entity are definitely one of the most cost effective ways of doing that, though. Removal, threats, and kill condition all wrapped up into a very mana-efficient and dirt cheap package.
