This is one of my first ever decks that I am thinking about building and getting to put into play. Would love suggestions for cuts and/or additions. Currently it feels like I may have too many different token types being possibly created. Would love to hear what others think. Currently deck is running under $50 from TCG pricing, so I would love to see what I can add or subtract and keep the overall cost below $75. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0xU5igYwfUe3EFYf3CZTbQ

Firstly, Moxfield shows you have 101 cards so needs a quick trim

*Solid adds
Good ol' Swords to Plowshares and Generous Gift would be the first things I would suggest adding cause spot removal is always nice
[[Felidar retreat]] +Evolving wilds/Terra Expanse could work as a steady anthem or some additional power, plus you have Emeria angel already for some landfall
[[Mikaeus, the Lunarch]] can be played early and build up, or late to progressively anthem the board
The Myriad creatures from CL2 outside of Tyr are cheap and help with an agro strat cause you get to hit everyone, and you have a few things already that like things entering the battlefield like Daxos and Goldknight
[[Thalia's Lancers]] lets you find a Mikaeus, Odric or Prava depending on needs

*Finishers
Think one of these could be a solid finishing piece [[True Conviction]] [[Legion Loyalty]] [[Divine Visitation]] or [[Cathars' crusade]]
The True C or Legions would probably work best with the deck as is, being a mix of tokens, anthems and creature spells. If you want to go critical mass of tokens, and not needing to worry about token types, Divine, and then Cathars if you want to go +1/+1 ETB swings . Each of these are in the $3-6 range so I think you'd only want to add 1 if you want to keep it budget. Of the 4, Legion would be my first pick

*+1/+1 counters
And if you do decide to go with some of these +1/+1 counter cards, then [[Damning Verdict]] is a great mostly 1 sided board wipe, and [[Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion]] would be a way to build up faster if going counters

Things I'd probably cut
E.Honda only really feels like it would be good if Prava was out, cause most tokens are symmetric P/T
Cathars call is a bit slow and unexciting, and needs a creature out beforehand so its not going to end up making a lot of tokens
Geist honored monk, at base with nothing else is a 3/3 Vig with 2 1/1 flyers, and incentivizes you to go wide with a way to give it evasion, which would only be flying if you get Elspeth or Odric out with help. Its a weird card that wants itself to be big by everything else going wide
Midnight Haunting and Raise the alarm are fine, but I feel small token spells don't feel great to cast
Cut a Deal I can see the need for card draw, but at the same time it helps your opponents without a big incentive for them to hold back like Rendevous does
Lot of little life gainers, so you could probably cut one, Kor Celebrant being the highest MV one
Precinct Captain feels like it would only be good if its out T2, cause it needs to hit to get anything, and that something is just 1 1/1
Rogues Passage isnt as great in go wides, unless you want to C. Damage someone while swarming the other 2 players with tokens
Gift of Estates feels like a weird card, not sure if I would keep or cut here,
