Lashwrithe is sweet to use with Korlash, Heir to Blackblade.

How would you respond to a popular sideboard card such as blind obedience that eliminates the haste factor of the deck?
I'd find a way to squeeze in some Arbor elves, there are mucho high cmc creatures.
Steel Shaper's Gift would work well in this deck.
-2 Stab Wounds +2 Disciple of Bolas
With all of those enchantments, it'd be worth running Ethereal Armor. -4 Farseek +4 Ethereal Armor
Add Lotleth troll and Farseek. -2 Seek the Horizon -1 Wild Beastmaster +3 Farseek -2 Jarad -1 Treasured Find +3 Lotleth Troll
I find Champion of Lambolt hard to use. The fact that she comes out as a 1/1 makes her incredible susceptible to burn. Also, with 7 mana dorks I think you should potentially run Vorapede or Wolfir Silverheart. Silverheart paired with Silverblade is just stupid. -3 Champion of Lambolt +3 Wolfir Silverheart -1 Revenge of the Hunted +1 Vorapede
Inquisition of Kozilek is a much better card than Duress for one black mana.
Vigilante Justice and Assemble the legion is just ridiculous. I might try Gather the Townsfolk in the place of Five-Alarm Fire. Also, Silverblade Paladin would do well in this deck, perhaps in the place of Court Street Denizen?
The two best blue/green cards in standard right now are, in my humble opinion, Master Biomancer and Prime Speaker Zegana. Drop Sylvan Primordial and a Prophetic Prism for Biomancer. He's a huge difference maker, really ignites that evolve mechanic. Also, if you have access to Breeding Pools use those in the place of the guildgates. Reliquary doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense without additional card draw mechanics. You'll end up getting stuck with bunches of utility lands in your hand if you're running both Refuges and Reliquary towers. Choose one I'd say.
I dig the deck, but I don't think you need to be running 4 Wolf runs. Drawing multiple of those utility lands can hamper your mana pool, especially when you're using cards like Reckoner and Rubblebelt. -1 Wolfrun +1 Forest
This deck looks like an awful lot of fun to play.
Silent Arbiter is hilarious in this deck.
With 4 Cryptghasts, you should try running a Griselbrand or 2. It's plausible to have him on the field by turn 5 with Cryptghast.
I like the deck, especially the addition of Gisela. However, I do think that with so many high cost creatures you could use some ramp. -1 of each charm +3 Farseek
I'd drop 2 of each gate to replace them with 2 rootbound crags and 2 sunpetal groves. Your creatures will still have vigilance from Hold the Gates, and they'll still receive the defensive benefits. Aught to speed the deck up a bit too.
Cartel Aristocrat is incredible in a deck like this. Especially with Gravecrawler and Geralf's Messenger. You sack Geralf to her dealing 2 damage to your opponent and then reset him with Restoration Angel. Sacrificing Gravecrawler to her also gives her recurring protection. I might drop an ultimate price, tragic slip, and righteous charge for 3 cartel aristocrats.
The deck is a neat idea, but with so many cards geared towards boosting assemble the legion, shouldn't you be running a playset of them?
Mainboard Frontline Medic in the place of Thraben Valiant. If you have access to more Silverblade Paladins, drop a gift of Orzhova or Divine Deflection. Cool deck idea though.
