I was just brainstorming with some friends of mine. I remember early INN. Block a deck called Township Tokens running Garruks and Elspeths and Gavony. With the new shocklands from RTR it seems possible to play ALL the good token emmision cards.
I think I'd rather have one of those than Bloodline Keeper. Gather seems especially good with Mayor + Parallel Lives.
I'd want some kind of removal somewhere too. Fiend Hunter, Oblivion Ring, something like that. Your primary plan should definitely be to ignore what they're doing and swarm, but some things just have to be answered or you're going to lose.
With RTR coming out, many new cards have been introduced that increase the power of this deck, such as Wayfaring Temple and other cards with the populate mechanic. Also, in the original Ravnica block, the Selesnya guild was token based and is now as well. It will probably increase this decks power tenfold.

This deck shouldn't be as heavy-black as yours is. G/W has so much token power without adding Black.
You should be running some Woodland Cemetarys, Isolated Chapels and black shocks, but that's only to run the Flashback on Lingering Souls and to cast Sorin out of the board (He's not worth it main, but against an aggro deck the 1/1 lifelinkers are invaluable, especially with Intangible Virtue.
Intangible Virtue should probably be a 3-of. The card is really strong, but if you draw more than 1 or 2 it's very win-more.
Geist-Honored Monk is a pretty average Warlord, especially given that you're paying 1W extra for the Vigilance and Spirits. It's a solid card, but we can only afford to play the best token dudes in this deck.
I'd cut the 3 Sorins, 4 Monks, 1 Virtue, 4 Bloodline Keepers, 4 Mayors, 2 Parallel Lives and 2 Rancors from your deck. The version of early-INN Township Tokens ran so many mana dorks to reach Overrun ASAP, and not only is that card gone, but Birds is also gone.
Garruk is obviously one of our king token generators. It's just insane.
I think you should look to include things like Eyes in the Skies, seeing as you can populate any of your large tokens, Wayfaring Temple as a better Warlord than Geist-Honored Monk, Midnight Haunting and Gather the Townsfolk above your Keepers and Mayors, and Selesnya Charms over your Rancors and Parallel Lives.
Selesnya Charm to trample a Wayfaring Temple to get over the top and populate seems like crazy value.
We also want to run 24 lands. We need to fit Townships, Vaults and Groves of the Guardians in here.

The new GB Planeswalker would be awesome in this deck. Having some Removal, access to Lingering Souls and now this planeswalker. Can you imagine populating those assassin tokens?

Non-constructive: G/W/B = "Junk" or "Rock", and it's Woodland CemetEry
