I definitely appreciate the thought you put into this comment. You seem to have completely ignored the Gavony Townships and Rootborn Defenses, though, which can be extremely helpful in avoiding a total wipe from a Bonfire effect. Trostani's life-gain mechanic is pretty good against aggro decks, especially once I can populate the 8/8 Elementals from Grove of the Guardian. As for win conditions, Wayfaring Temple becomes a beast once the token count rises, and with a Rancor or Selesnya Charm it can dish out some serious hurt, as can the aforementioned 8/8 Elemental tokens. There is only 1 Odric in the deck because I only possess 1 Odric at this time. I have yet to test the Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, but It looks to me like a clunker who will most likely leave the board before I can make use of either abilities. Centaur Healer is a solid 3 drop, but it doesn't fit the theme of the deck, which is why my Loxodon Smiter is not on the list. I may test with the Smiter to see how it fares, but I don't have high hopes for it. Thragtusk is certainly a viable option, which again, I have yet to test with.

Looking at this decklist hurts.
I agree, batman69, there are not enough cats in this deck.
