didn't read through all the other comments so sorry if this has already been suggested. why not put jace's phantasm? although its not a defender, it can pack some serious offense and defense. 19 lands? i think you have too less lands and it might become inconsistent. a defender deck should be able to effectively defend within the 1st few turns to survive. i know you have gatekeepervine but you might need to reconsider your land base. lessen your increasing confusion to maybe 2 and put more lands, i would suggest.

very nice and impressive deck.. the synergy is quite good too... like someone said why do you have 7 giant growths? O.o anyway i think your just saving that spot for something, titanic growth perhaps? wild defiance for added boost? or wreath of geist if your expecting alot of corpses in your graveyard... i think any of them will do..
my human deck - http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=341665 tourney quality plain and simple :)
my advice is to replace some with much better cards that do the same thing like: expedition map - traveler's amulet brass squire - puresteel paladin (metalcraft gives you 0 cast for your equips) whispersilk cloak - lightning greaves or swiftfoot boots
really nice consistent deck,,, i too have an elf deck but not totally about elf. pls do care to check it out... it one of my decks that im really considering to build for competitive play. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=326050
really cool deck :) i actually have nothing to add... just admiring you decks hitting the front page very often 8) just one question: do you really need the snow-covered lands? coz i think its making the deck value high XD would really like to know how much this deck can really cost.
have you considered using Persist as well? Murderous deathcap would be pretty good on this deck :) i would recommend removing or reducing flayer of the hatebound coz it may really delay you at most times and since this is legacy, why not put some of the better ressurect spells?
well IMO i dont think you really need mentor of the meek here so might as well take him out + increasing devotion coz if your gonna base your deck on hitting hard and fast, you dont really need it especially if your gonna only put 1... and also why not put 2 gavony townships so that it'll be the card that can boost your creatures..
dont need to be, it can add power not only to your lambholt but also to your other creatures, its pretty destructive that your opponent will think twice not to put it down saving your other more important creatures like lambholt... all you need is good timing :)

hmmm ever thought of putting accorder paladin there?
@Kazzong - no offense man, but im just having fun here like "playing his game" and all but if this is how he really plays then IMO i dont think it would really pose any damage to the community and we have any right to go against it... sure we can criticize but im already seeing a very long list of criticisms and i think he will soon realize that what he is doing is entirely wrong and will learn from it if he really wants to seriously play this game... and as a game itself isnt its main purpose is to create fun for the player? i think its serving its purpose very well... all im saying is lets not take it too seriously here... we dont even know how old this guys is for all we know he's only a 13 yr older who just happens to like the drawings in the cards and thought its cool (to the OP, i dont really think your a 13 yr old lol) again not saying your incorrect, im actually moved by your desire to help but sometimes there people who dont want to be helped, wont listen, and just wants to do whatever the hell they want to do... so best leave them to their own devices...
i see that you added angelic destiny, thanks for considering it but you forgot to remove 4 more cards to replace it, might need to correct that... hmmm i think you can remove 4 doomed traveler since you already have gather the townsfolk, it will be enough to serve its purpose of pumping your champ parish :)
i've always like to create a U/B Zombie deck but with Rooftop Storm on it, it just works perfectly with grim+dire+crawler combo and now that i see your deck it gave me quite an idea :) and coz im so inspired, id prefer to give you my suggestions through a deck i made just now.. http://www.mtgvault.com/DrawSimulator.aspx?DeckID=351566 now pls dont think that im trying to take-over your idea, deck or popularity but this is just my way of suggesting things coz seeing that you named your deck as it is i thought why not make it totally control based? and i know its gonna be a very pricey deck but hey you didnt state any limitations :p hope this helps somehow
10 swords to plowshare will deal with your lich :p
lets have a brawl mano-a-mano :) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=341665 but seriously, great deck, but W/G felt a little slow, will much prefer mono-white :) thought of adding angelic destiny?
lol i just thought of sumthing right now... why not put both elk and virridian in this deck? :D well anyway its still up to you if you'll consider the idea. another one would be putting asceticism to gain hexproof for all your creatures so that you dont have to worry about removals.
"i actually have an answer to all of your questions :) The elk can sacrifice him self, fueling my grave, strangle root wont hit the grave on the first try, (though i do agree it is very powerful) and the wurm is not here because i have splinterfright, and thats weak to the spell bomb, so the wurms may die to easy. but thank you, and i may actually try the giests." i get what you mean but i would consider virridian more coz of its ability to put a land on the battlefiled when it dies, you just have to keep attacking your opponent with it and he will highly consider killing it coz its does 2 dmg to him, while with the elk, yes you can control and time on when your gonna sac it but it just doesnt give you the speed you need to be effective coz of the fact that you need to spend 1(G) to sac it when with the virridian you dont... hope im not annoying you with the subject lol
why not put virridian emissary, its just as good as dawntreader if not better imo strangleroot is also a good one as well so that you wont get pressured by fast aggro decks lastly why i dont see boneyard wurm here?
also just created a deck somewhat similar to yours but its mono white and a pure human deck, its actually made by a friend of mine that i consider a genius at deck building... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=341665 i hope this helps on making your deck better
