I think you need more fliers, it's a sweet combo but you don't have any way to protect your levitation so I feel like you'll need something else to get your creatures in the air, but where I play everyone has something in their sideboard to deal with enchantments or artifacts they don't like. I think you could use some more Nightshade Peddlers in case of annoying creatures with reach or some such. Favorable winds is also a possibility. Another thing to consider is enchanting your opponent with Levitation (If thats possible?) then they can't block you no matter what keywords they have

P.S. Pauper is only commons so if you want to play pauper you'll need to reshape a few things

Some token generators: Archdemon of Unx Beckon Apparition Bitterblossom (probably too expensive but it's a beast) Carrion Cemetery Reaper Creakwood Liege(I love this card) Din of the Fireherd? Forbidden RitualLiability (works if you're using all tokens for saccing or just want the game to go faster) Maalfeld Twins Quest for the Gravelord (always classy) Sengir Autocrat? Skirk Ridge Exhumer Skirsdag High Priest a lot of these cards suck but I just thought I'd list a bunch for fun plus if you might have 1-2 of them and it's usually better to use cards you have

Also I think you need tutors to find Liliana of the realms not to use with her ability, also why is there no Exsanguinate??? You NEED this card

There's also no reason not to do both, a very large creature can block tramplers that tokens couldn't easily block, they're both very good cards and could easily fit, the cradle isn't my personal playstyle but it's still a phenomenal card in a deck where alot of life is gained, if you put in the cradle I would consider Nearheath Pilgrim so you're biggest creature can be the one doubling every turn

I'd say that you should probably not use cards like Gideon's Avenger, it's rarely worth the slot, go for tokens, for example Darien comboed with one soul sister regains any and all life you lose. I would also consider moving to more of flying tokens, because you're lacking in flying defense until late game (A Goldenglow Moth only goes so far) I would say that you're better off focusing on cards like the Soul Sisters (Soul warden + Soul's Attendant) than attackers for the early game, Chalice of life that TyWooOneTime suggested is a phenomenal choice, I would however disagree about Cradle of Vitality, it doesn't come out until fairly late which isn't a big deal since you're going to delay the game alot with this kind of deck. The issue I see with it is just that it's a large mana commitment, I agree that in a vacuum or against non-aggressive decks it's an awesome choice but I'm not sure that I like it in this deck, it's worth trying tho. Also if you do go with tokens Cathars' Crusade is absolutely amazing, that with a geist-honored Monk could easily be a game win. I would focus on ETB triggers from creatures so the Soul Sisters, Suture Priest, and tokens, While I like Gideon's Lawkeeper I'm not sure that it's perfect for this deck, it's worth testing either way.

If you let me know which way you want to go with the deck (One or two huge creatures or alot of tokens or Felidar Sovereign) I might be able to give better advice, I don't want to try to bias you towards tokens just cause I love them, so let us know what you're thinking

Still need

x1 Champion of the Parish

Now also need some cheap cards in GU

x2 Ambush Viper
X3 Boneyard Wurm
x3 Splinterfright
x2 Kessig Cagebreakers
x1 Mirror-Mad Phantasm

I'd like to include something of value in a trade for cheap cards so feel free to make offers including cards not listed above on my wishlist

Thanks!

Actually deathtouch doesn't require combat damage that's why giving Pingers (i.e. Cunning Sparkmage) deathtouch is so sick. "Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it" therefore the Gama would in fact be a DOJ for my opponent every turn.

I do have a The Wretched, but that makes me think more of Scythe of the Wretched, broad wipe, then take everything I just killed, but at that point I feel like I should be making an entirely new deck based around that, which I might just do

I guess my fear with the Champion is just that I don't want someone to pop an instant that beefs up their blockers enough to kill my guy and then my stuff isn't unblockable the next turn, but if it has a Strata Scythe and a Grafted Exoskeleton, it could be GG from one swing of the champion even without any other creatures so I'll try to fit a skeleton in

I do like exoskeletons but I doubt i'd swing with my Champion regardless, since I don't want to risk it dying

I forgot about the damage, darn, well I still like the peddlers, perhaps Kusari-Gama? It would work extremely well even with a normal infect creature, especially with the (crappy) firebreathing effect

TyWooOneTime makes perfectly valid points, but tokens are too slow. Look at the token cards avaliable, most of them will be setting you back 2-3 turns and without a parallel lives they're going to go even slower, if you go with tokens you absolutely need to cut primal surge because most of the really good token cards are not permanents. If you want to slow down your strategy then yes, tokens are great, but you're not going to find any tokens that are aggressive enough to work with this current build, if you want to switch to tokens you're going to need to completely shift the deck, focusing on card draw and Parallel Lives as much as the repository

TyWooOneTime: Trusted Forcemage? It's not a terrible card but not very good in constructed and I don't see how it fits the deck, maybe if it was more of a defensive boost but as it is I'm not liking that one.

Either way if you're using the Amulet and the Repository you better pack some sort of protection since Naturalize can kill either one with no trouble at all.

Blech, Cavern of Souls, plus what would you declare, Human? None of your big stuff are the same creature type so it's not really worthwhile unless you're really worried about your humans getting countered, but no one's going to counter anything accept maybe your huntmasters, if you're interested in Planeswalkers I'd consider Garruk, Primal Hunter, once you pull off a big creature you can either draw a bunch of cards or possibly accel into your win with his ultimate.

As far as the Tidal Surge, you're right, maybe you should drop the mana leaks for that reason alone... I'm not sure though, that's going to come down to testing.

Another card to consider is Quicksilver Amulet, not amazing but it can speed up dropping big creatures and can be activated at instant speed if I'm not mistaken, it's not great by any means but something to consider.

Also Llanowar elves is probably a better option than the young wolves because of the fact that it's very possible not to draw a BOP t1 and you kind of need accel in your first hand if you want to stand a chance.

Also Urabrask is the worst praetor and probably isn't worth the slot, in my opinion, at that point your opponent probably has better board position than you do so you've got to keep that in mind, he just takes too long to come out to be worth it

Again, playtesting is the key, I'm still working out (large) kinks in my standard decks and testing is way more informative than any advice, (probably more so my advice than that of other people)

Just updated the list

I have that id probably be willing to trade x1 of

Tamiyo, the Moon Sage
Liliana of the Veil
Phyrexian Dreadnought
