Might be worth dropping red since your creatures require a lot of specific green mana. only 2 cards use it, wouldn't be hard to find replacements

Does Akki Battle Squad only trigger once? it specifies that but I'm not sure if Isshin gets around that

I would swap for Lilliana of the Veil. Your strategy is great for distributed tokens but one really beefy guy that can get progressivly bigger is going to give you trouble. I would put in a little bit of deathtouch and 2-3 lilliana of the veil. Also undying partisan may crowd your hand at 4 considering his survivability, so I would put in something like Bone Picker or archetype of finality.

I also think you have a few too many 6 costs in the deck. Crypt ghast and dark rit are great for getting a lot of mana but I would still bring the 6 costs down maybe just drop silumgar entirely and add some draw like sign in blood or read the bones. If you go mono I would also drop the singer for some solid black targeted removal to also deal with anything that's pumpable. I think any hydra or life gain pump deck would get around the -1's pretty easily.

You're also sorely missing removal in the main deck. I usually run at minimum 6 pieces of removal. Fracture and/or closing statement would be fine but consider 1 drop instants like fatal push or path to exile

I don't think you want 4 copies of the legendary god. I would reduce that to 1-2. Same with your 5 cost liege because you don't have ramp and I would consider swapping the defender because you have a lot of agro here. I would swap the defender for the Restless Apparition to stay in the air and pumpable

Oh man I expected to see a fathom feeder or 2. Nice to have deathtouch and draw

I would say swap the growing ranks for overwhelming stampede. You've got a lot of token makers but only a few hitters.

Man I know you're building standard but I can imagine a sterling grove would kick ass in this

I would think with all those replayable enchantments that a constellation card would be useful. Not sure which though.

Might I recommend my favorite 1drop white instant Harm's Way

Yeah sorry about that I renamed it. It should work again now

You might have to use your imagination on the land portion because I just threw in basics, but the idea is there. Tokens, spells, and instants: Hammer of Pophoros, Parallel Lives, and Elspeth. Huntmaster pairs well with Voice of resurgence, keeping players off your turn.

Here's what I would have done in Naya http://www.mtgvault.com/hokiecodemonkey/decks/naya-token-fun/

If I were you I would replace the X1 with Burning-Tree to up your creature drop for voice. Also I would swap some counter spells for Growths to support the little guys and play more agressively.

I think you can get some success out of this shits/gigs style. I would play it Naya though but that's just me.

Nothing quick about 7 mana. Trust me that's your 1-of bomb. If you're set on playing Sorin and his Vengeance you're also going to need to draw cards or mana ramp, but I would stick with drawing cards, Read the Bones is a great cheap option.

Throw in Vampire Nocturnus take out elixer, gain 5 life is not an Agro move, it's a stall for time move. Replace with 1 drop vampire like Vampire Lacerator. Use cheap vamps like Kalastria Highborn or blood artist if you want to gain life.

Replace Geth's Verdict for Gatekeeper of Malakir because it does the same thing and is a vampire. Replace Murder with direct kill spells special to vampires: Urge to Feed or Feast of Blood.

Honestly you can do whatever you want with it but if you want to go tribal, go tribal. If you want to go agro, don't weigh heavy on 6+ spells. If you want to go mono-black... well you have dark rit so you got that one down pat.

Not nearly enough creatures and WAY too many Sorin's Vengance.

I would be wary using so many call to the grave's and Grave Titan. You will not want both of those out.

I would skip the Phyrexian Crusader in favor of a tribal buff like Cemetery Reaper or Death Baron

I went with Rendclaw Trow because it works with Necroskitter and Melira, Those are the two major setup cards I have and Kitchen Finks are great for inf-life but I want to stick with a wither steal strat. I kept Flesh-Eater because you can Birthing Pod Rendclaw into the Imp and have an infinitely large infect creature. Aerie Ouphes has the same effect with Mikaes the Unhallowed and can sac itself to knock out all fliers since all my defense is on the ground.

I did pull out Midnight Banshee in favor of Mikaes as a backup if Melira gets killed. Noxious Hatchling is a bit of a weak spot but I think it plays well with Black Sun Zeenith being able to remove counters and works well with Necroskitter and Melira.
