I like the deck, but I think 4 Trostani is too many. I'd run 2 or 3 of him and add in either a couple Gather the Townsfolk or a little more populate to fill the void (probably Druid's Deliverance or Sundering Growth).
I've been tinkering around with this as well and how there can be so many card options I think this is the build I'm going to try for a lil bit and tweak accordingly
Or can you guys tell me why people are not considering this? I think drogskol is amazing, it makes lingering souls even a more powerful threat. and with avacyn pilgrim, you can get him out on turn 2, lingering souls t3, and now u have 2/2 spirts with hexproof....and intangible virtue makes them 3/3's. suggestions?

Bant and Esper are obviously being brewed. In my primer I answered Why Black and my reasonings behind not going Bant (although it may be powerful come Gatecrash!). Moorland Haunt isn't great in a token deck simply because we run a lot of generators and not actual creatures.

def understand that bant might be powerful. I personally really like bant, but idk, i would lose some key green cards that are needed :/ And i can see your point with moorland, i was just thinking when weenies die off, such as doomed traveler, you make a token....than you can exile him and make another token. Same with cards like avaycn pilgrim, or any other chump blockers.
Also, anyone considering a GWb with splash blue, possibly 4 colors, and not going Bant, or esper? Advantages? Disadvantages? I'm a huge fan of the captain, would like to utilize him...but i'm sure you guys are more experienced than me! haha

The problem with Moorland Haunt is that there are very few creature cards in Junk Tokens. Even if you got the blue out with Moorland Haunt, it's unlikely you'd be able to use it more than once.
The synergy with Gavony Township and Ajani, Caller of the Pride seems good. Is it not being mentioned because the walkers are better and there are only so many 4 mana spots? It seems better than Trostani in some matchups.
i really enjoy the idea of getting a strong manabase early in the game with pilgrim, and arbor elf. than using something like a terminus or cyclonic rift (hard cast, and overload cost), and going in with everything. by this point u should have a bunch of tokens out, that are beefed with drogskol captain, intangible, etc. swing for the kill...

4 Doomed Traveler
4 Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
Planeswalkers
2 Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
2 Garruk Relentless
Enchantments
2 Oblivion Ring
4 Intangible Virtue
3 Abrupt Decay
4 Midnight Haunting
4 Rootborn Defenses
Sorceries
4 Lingering Souls
4 Call of the Conclave
Land
1 Forest
2 Vault of the Archangel
2 Plains
2 Gavony Township
4 Isolated Chapel
4 Sunpetal Grove
4 Temple Garden
4 Overgrown Tomb
As Reffan said, 2 or 3 would be plenty.
Also, add a Collective Blessing or 2, when you can drop it, you should have plenty of creatures by then and be able to overrun your opponent.
Other than that, cool deck idea.
Just play test, you'll see what needs changed.

Thanks Nerubian. I saw that thread, but I am unable to post in it for some reason. Maybe because I'm new to these forums?

I feel this is a quick aggressive attempt at this and would love to hear feedback on this

As far as splashing Blue, I think the cards you get are not worth the damage to the mana base. However, WUb tokens could also be viable. Using Favorable Winds and Intangible Virtue, along with Talrand's Invocation, Midnight Haunting, Lingering Souls, etc.
