The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
Okay this is my first standard deck since RTR came out. I made this deck to based around enchantments and i think it will do pretty good. The point is for your opponents not to be able to attack while making your army stronger and stronger. i also tried to make this deck really cheap so i hope you know of any cards that i can get for a low price. Any suggestions would be great, plz comment

This deck is too slow to be effective, plus you have 2 concepts that don't work with each other; populate and lock down. i would start by focusing on one theme and build on that. It'll be faster, and more consistent.

so if i lock down but cant get their life down how am i supposed to win? because eventually they will be able to get enough mana to beat my lockdown, so i have to hit them someway, do you have any suggestions at all?
If you want to go with lock down, add some mana ramp to get it out as fast as possible. turn five to get it out is fairly slow. The potential in populate is choosing quality over quantity, so try taking a look at some cards that can make a token of a powerful card. one card that comes to mind is cackling counterpart, however it's blue. Here's a rd of a populate deck I'm working on to give you some ideas on how to work with it. It's more expensive, but that's because of the creatures I choose, you don't have to pick them. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=396362
If you want to focus on lockdown/populate, one card you should consider is acidic slime; it's a cheap uncommon that can destroy lands, enchantments, or artifacts. If you can make a token of that and populate it, you can destroy their lands for a complete lockdown. Deathtouch makes allows it to kill most creatures that block it too. You don't need a beefy creature to win in lockdown, you just need to make sure they don't play anything.
I have noticed rtr selesnya is slow no doubt. If you want to go that route though I would recommend parallel lives as well. Instead of lock down maybe take a turbo fog approach to hold them off until things start rolling for you. Hope it helps
You need Trostani, Selesnya's voice Which i have ;) haha Jk -Diaz
i recommend trashing all for Vitu-Ghazi immediatly. trostani may cost twice as much but she populates for cheaper, is stronger, and gains you some crazy life when used with collective blessing, which you also need. its a game finisher. i mean come on. 6/6 centaurs and 4/4 birds. what could be better. especially when they bulk up your life as well. check out my slesnya life gain deck. i also recommend playsets of arbor elf and/or avacyn's pilgrim...
