Turn to Frog can be used in both directions, to prevent a huge damage incoming, or to turn ToP into a 1/1 and set your opponent's life to 1. If this happens, you can use Vicious Rumors to kill with grace.
Land can be improved, for sure, but I'm a bit lazy right now haha.
Unclaimed Territory could go well, but the list has some clerics that you want to add yes or yes once you draw them, because they aren't generic mana, and could interfere.
About results,I'm testing it on Cockatrice, but for now, all my games were like: mana screwed with 3 lands, or it can be competitive the rest of the games were I haven't been mana screwed. Hope I can test it more, but there aren't many Pioneer players there.
I prefer Linvala over Selfless Spirit because it's an Angel and synergizes well with Bishop and Righteous Valkyrie. Also, because it can act just the same, or like a Heroic Intervention to give them Hexproof.
Faceless Haven maybe could fit better into a mono-white or in the UW version.
Druid's Call + Lure + Toski, Bearer of Secrets: Making your opponents always block Toski, to create a horde of squirrels, and drawing a tons of cards thanks to all the other unblocked creatures you can have.
I would like to know your thoughts on this list, and if something could be changed to improve it a bit.
I only found Etali once against the UW deck I talked before. Sometimes when playing for fun, I remember playing against a monowhite auras, and kept all the good things for me.
I would play it only if that same turn, or the turn before, you looked at the opponent hand and find non threat for creatures. Maybe there is a better creature that could replace him, but for the moment, I play him to steal opponents cards.
Edit: I was searching for creatures to substitute, and found Dragonlord Kolaghan. This could work like a charm thanks to all discard/removal.
Yesterday we were 8 players. Here is a short resume of my 3 games.
1. Against a very newbe UW gain life. I just didn't had any pressure at any moment, it was rather easy. 2-0
2. Against burn RW. First game he went really fast, T2 3 creatures, a lots of burn spells at hand to make them big... I added 3 Leyline of Combustion and took out 3 Thoughtseize and found them on G2 and G3. In G2 Bedlam came in, and G3 Mogis after killing his creatures. 2-1
3. Against 5C Niv-Mizzet. I never found a Thoughtseize, the most I had was Collective Brutality. On both games he had Klothys on the battlefield on T3. Once there I cannot do much. Really bad draws. Seriously, even playing for fun, I never had luck playing with this guy haha. 0-2
Recently played against a mono green stompy. Thats why I put in an anger and bontus from the side. Even with this tons of removal, they can speed so much that gets out of range. Specially with the troll that when dies enchants a land giving 2 green. Tomorrow, I hope there will be enough players to play a few games with other decks!
Last day, while ordering my cards, I found Mogis, God of Slaughter. I always found it funny and interesting to play. I thought that combining it along Klothys, God of Destiny, they both could work fine together.
So, I thought, what could work with those two? Discard and removal were my thoughts. Jund colors.
Yesterday I had a nice game, which was T1 Llanowar, T2 2 Marauding Raptors, T3 Ripjaw Raptor (2 draws), T4 Ghalta, and a T5 lethal with a boost of +4/+0 on marauding raptor thanks to Regisaur Alpha and the token. That was playing against a mono green stompy.
I've been tinkering a bit more about it, and I think I like more this version.

Deck idea can vary. You can go for combo, or to aggro style.
Combos you can find:
I would like to know your thoughts on this list, and if something could be changed to improve it a bit.
Hope you liked it!

Overall, 2-1, finishing second.

So, I thought, what could work with those two? Discard and removal were my thoughts. Jund colors.
Here is my first brew.
