Ever since Trostani was spoiled I knew I found my next commander. I looked for a way to capitalize on both her abilities, and settled on big tokens. Not only are big tokens more powerful to populate, it also gains more life and does not clutter the play area as much. (The latter being the main reason why I refuse to build a Ghave deck) So i've been searching for cards that can make big tokens, and this has become my initial list:
Besides just playing and copying tokens and other good stuff with lifegain, the deck has two notable card packages:
Life from the Loam with Wasterland, Strip Mine and Ghost Quarter for some land hate.
Riftsweeper with Mistveil Plains, Gaea's Blessing and Elixir of Immortality make sure your flashbacked spells will re-enter your library from exile.
What do you guys think? My only concern is that it's too light on targeted removal, but I was cramped for space. Any suggestions to replace anything with something?
You did just post it, it sometimes takes a little time before people make comments. Sometimes people don't comment at all, it is hard to judge what people will or will not comment on.
Some of the Hydra's make great targets for the Populate ability. I started to suggest Rhys, but saw you had him in there; he's just bonkers with Trostani, they were literally made for each other!
My only main suggestions are maybe Verdant Force and Mylocoth. They do tend to, as you say, "clutter" things up a little, but they can be pretty powerful, and copying them? You can build a nice tidy army pretty fast.
SOUL FOUNDRY, hey how about armada wurm every turn., how about we populate that armada wurm token every turn. How about we populate them on my upkeep. Lots and lots of Armada Wurm.
No Seedborn Muse or Awakening? Populate every turn seems kinda good.

Minion Reflector seems kind of meh, I already have Echo Chamber which is more versatile imo. The tokens from the War Pride disappear at end of turn a simple 3/3 token is not that exciting. Good catch on Spawnwrithe and Penumbra Wurm though. What would you suggest I remove for them? Grove is going in, I got one on the prerelease.

Very good card certainly, but what to remove to make room?

Edit: Notable exemptions that I would like to include are Martyr's Bond, Collective Blessing and Luminarch Ascension. Also, I'm wondering i I should switch Cradle of Vitality with True Conviction.

Penumbra Wurm might be okay too. Grove of the Guardian definitely should be in.

That he's really good and that he will go into the deck as soon as I can trade for one. He's too expensive to buy right now.

That seems really, really good. The card is kind of expensive, but if the deck turns out really fun to play then I will get it.
Very good card certainly, but what to remove to make room?
True, but again, what to remove?
