Hi, MTGS. I've recently gotten into EDH and this is my first deck.
When Odric, Master Tactician got spoiled, I immediately sought cards to build an EDH deck with him as the general. Due to card availability, I first settled with a token theme and it kinda stuck.
I like how the deck plays out, but I feel like there are cards I'm missing. The deck is capable of really explosive plays that can kill 2-3 people a turn. Sometimes, it just durdles.
As much as possible, I still want it to be aggro, token-centered.
The deck name is taken from Fate/Stay Night, because I'm using a digitally altered Saber in place of Odric. 0:]
(And yes, I know I'm missing out on a lot of format staples)
Some of the craziest plays I've made with this deck is spitting out a ton of Cat tokens on opponent's EOT while Cathars' Crusade and Odric is out. Storm Herd also becomes extremely funny when you drop it.
I like the list. Most things that I would have thought of are already in your list. The only question I do have is, how often do you draw enough cards to make Reliquary Tower necessary?

I think to be honest Reliquary in any mono deck is a pretty sweet auto-include, if you get a pretty nutso engine going with Mentor of the Meek + Springjack Shepherd it's nice to have a bit more you can do, the downside is you miss a white symbol maybe once in a hundred games.

Thanks! Reliquary Tower was more of a meta call, because I usually play with two Zedruu decks(they love their Howling Mines, they do).
@Lucian
Yeah, I don't really feel the loss of a mana symbol.
I should try getting a copy of Mentor of The Meek. But with all of the anthems I'm running, would it still be worth it?

I play EDH and can't afford Legacy. Therefore, I play bad decks in Standard.
I removed Faith's Reward for Infiltration Lens because I realized that Faith's Reward on its own is underwhelming. I usually just hold the card hoping someone wraths the board. And even then, my tokens won't come back.
I'm also thinking of removing my cycle lands for Plains. They don't really do much (I never cycle them) and sometimes that one mana really matters. Thoughts?
I'm also looking for early-midgame token producers. I'm not trying to be an aggro deck, my brew is more midrange, but I'd like to have some board presence before finally slamming down something that's relevant on Turn 7. Do you think I should add Midnight Haunting, Gather the Townsfolk, and Raise the Alarm? They all seem underwhelming.
Thanks,
Kenny

Having Hero of Bladehold and attacking ensures that you get a good pump to your other tokens, along with further enhancing the presence of tokens with two more tokens attacking alongside her.
Captain of the Watch is an anthem and a token engine all in one. She's also been reprinted a few times so she should be pretty cheap. Promise of Bunrei makes lots of tokens and sort of helps you dodge wrath effects.
Also, what's up with all the fetchlands? You're a college student, run the numbers on "thin to win".

You would never guess, at the terrifying sight of the man, that Hunding was as charming a companion as one could wish for.

Some of the craziest plays I've made with this deck is spitting out a ton of Cat tokens on opponent's EOT while Cathars' Crusade and Odric is out. Storm Herd also becomes extremely funny when you drop it.
Some of the cards that I really like with the deck are Cathars' Crusade, Springjack Shepherd, and Increasing Devotion.
Cool synergies:
Cathars' Crusade/Goldnight Commander + Increasing Devotion/Storm Herd/Conqueror's Pledge/Springjack Shepherd/White Sun's Zenith = Mass Pump
Eldrazi Monument + Emeria, the Sky Ruin = Monument Tax pays for itself
Mass Tokens + Pennon Blade/Veteran's Armaments = Ouch
Cards I need to get:
Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Try to keep it within budget, though. I'm just a broke college student.
Thanks!
