I've looked around, and not really found much good advice. I'm wanting to build a G/W human populate deck. I could do without the humans, but I think they'd be good. (A la precinct captain ) .

Cards like::
Gather the Townsfolk
Druids Deliverance
Intangible Virtue
Rootborn Defences


Just not sure where to go. I could scrap human and add in Selesneya charm call of the conclave   and maybe Garruk, primal hunter or armada worm … help?

If you're gonna go Selesnya, I'd scrap the human concept.  Populate can be a very effective mechanic...under the right circumstances.  The problem is that your opponent won't just let you get away with whatever you want.  They're trying to win, too, after all.  I think the trick to populate is to survive long enough to get an army of creatures on your side.  The cards you mentioned would work well, but here's a few more to consider:

Growing Ranks :  Populate at your upkeep; the advantage is obvious
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice :  Life gain and a way to populate
Attended Knight :  2/2 first strike, along with a token.
Grove of the Guardian :  Land that can turn into an 8/8 token
Wayfaring Temple :  Give it trample and it can bulldoze the enemy

These are just ideas, though.  I can't guarantee that they'll all work.

I ran a R/W token deck at my LGS and it did fairly well. Almost beat RWU a round. Went to game three. I would've won if I could've gotten to my token spells. Sided in Pithing Needle against him to take care of his staticaster . Had a problem with Predator Ooze and fast aggro. The guy that ran 'murica gave me props for the 7needle and suggested that I go Selesnya if I wanted to go with a token deck.


4 x wayfaring temple
4 x crusader of odric
2 x trostani, selesnya's voice
2 x armada wurm

4 x gather the townsfolk
4 x druid's deliverance
4 x rootborn defences
4 x selesnya charm
4 x call of the conclave
2 x oblivion ring
2 x growing ranks

2 x garruk, primal hunter


4 x sunpetal grove
2 x Guardian's Grove
5 x plains
5 x forest


Something like that I would imagine.

I'd like to fit in rancor as well. I realise I didn't add the GW shockland. (Don't know the name of it.)

Would mana dorks be good here? Or farseek ?

Updated list. Not sure what to cut from it. As it is, there are 68 cards in it. Suggestions?
