Imho.
Wayfaring temple is a bad trap card. Cut it.
Go junk instead, add lingering souls and sorin. Cut armada wurm. Add advent of the wurm. Cut all 8 dorks, run abrupt decay. Add two more intangible virtues. Add voice of resurgance.
You seem to have forgotten to add a few of the cards you were excited about.
I play an almost identical build. I say almost because I run druids deliverance and sundering growth. Bant hexproof builds do ruin this, sideboard 4 paraselenes and more sunders. But it beats up on aggro alright from experience, also control has problems late game against these decks. I've played g/w tokens since rtr release and done fairly well. You don't want growing ranks and probs not parallel lives, they're too slow honestly. Anything over 3 that isn't instant speed is not ideal. However, look into moonsilver spear, that's a game winner there. But again it is too slow, 8 mana for a use, I use 1 only because a- it'll more likely swing the game for you than armada wurm and b - its flying which this deck lacks.
I say anything over 4 is too much because after turn 3 you'll want as much mana open to use your instants as possible. You want to make absolutely sure your ready for the supreme verdict when it hits. Cut the mana dorks for more instants and cut 1 trostani and wayfaring temple too. Trostani is a little push towards victory but you shouldn't rely on her. Put in maybe 1 or 2 precinct captains to augment the temples. I had the chance to put thraggy in but I chose not to partly cuz he's 5cc but also I'm just morally opposed to using him for my own reasons. Not denying his effectiveness however. When dgm is released, add voice and advent for obvious reasons.. looking forward so much to emmara.
Back up to the part about having your mana open mostly after turn 3, this deck can excel in pumping out creatures for minimal cost at instant speed and often without casting spells. This is the strongest part of the deck. Make your plays in your opponents end step and be ready to ruin their day with little populate tricksters maaaaybe run a lone guildmage because while he's overpriced.. what you got to play anyways instant speed wurm token on a stick hurts bad.
This is just my 2 cents worth btw but I've been tuning this deck for ages now and I can stomp most other builds under a flurry of hastily played and well managed token swarms.
If you ever hold back on a game winning play, make sure to gloat about it loudly, often, and in excruciating detail; you'll feel like a bond villain (just don't be suprised when and if you're killed in an embarrassing or dumb manner).

This is pretty similar to a GW populate deck that I play, though instead of mana dorks I have Centaur's Herald. I disagree with Illinest: Wayfaring Temple is a good card because 1) gets bigger when you have more creatures and 2) free populate if you hit a player, which isn't that hard to do when you're running green. You've got four Selesnya Charm for +2/+2 and trample, then you could add four Rancor for good measure. Even at FNM I get good results with trampling Temples. You get free 5/5 trample wurm tokens and 8/8 vigilance elementals!

i've been testing a bit on cockatrice...wayfaring temple with advent of the wurm is really good...
swing with temple, no tokens on field, the opponent doesn't block...flash in wurm, damage resolves, populate.
you untap turn 4 with a 4/4 and two 5/5 trample (assuming you played a t1 avacyn's pilgrim)
soo good

I like wayfaring temple when it can connect, but I have never been able to have him stay around long enough to actually swing with him. With That said though Voice of Resurgence adds another target for your opponents spells, so your Wayfaring Temple might actually say around for awhile.
Now I see people wanting to cut the mana dorks. DO NOT DO THAT. You need turn 3's advents and Trostani's in this deck. On top of that you are playing a lot of Green White spells that you need to consistently hit. All my version of GW populate decks has fallen flat if I did not have my consistent mana, it is that necessary
Now you do not need intangible virtues, your tokens are going to be huge as all hell, no need to anthem them, and the vigilance is minimal Now if you had more flyers then Intangible virtues is not necessarily needed. Also you really do not need Call of the Conclave especially since your deck has Voice and Selesnya Charm at the two drop spot which to me are better cards. here is how I build my deck
"Some call it a Habit, Cardboard Crack Addict
Tried to pull away, but now I'm Back At it
Love is Emphatic, cards need to be played
Hailing from the BA, accumulating CA"
Yea, those are MTG Bars. What can I say, I am a dork
For a token deck, your list seems to be crucially lacking in the token generators department. Garruk and Advent of the Wurm are your only guaranteed token makers. What kind of GW token deck doesn't at least run Call of the Conclave? And you're absolutely, unquestionably, 100% wrong about Intangible Virtue. In a token list that is a 4-of, no exceptions.

My 360 Peasant+ Cube!. Modern borders where possible, usually with the newest (or "best") art, and always the most readable card text. I also run all 10 painlands. My playgroup is super casual, as we have a fair number of newer or less experienced players. Typically we draft with 4 to 6 people, using 5 packs of 9.

My list is not a token list, but a gw populate list that doesn't get absolutely wrecked by azorius charm, detention sphere, and sever the bloodline. The list also has Selesnya charm main, as well as voice of resurgence that can make tokens. In my list intangible virtue does not effect enough of my deck when I can mainboard beats with smiter.

Okay, then. If it's not a token list, then what do you plan on populating? You can't populate without having a token out already. If you're not playing tokens then you shouldn't need populate. No tokens = may as well just play traditional WG aggro.

1 drop
Avacyn's Pilgrim the curve of this deck is not going to be high, but to be able to cast a Advent of the Wurmon turn 3 is going to be sweet
Arbor Elf see pilgrim, but not as good as his human friend as we might not have forests in play
Doomed traveler chump block and then token
2 drop
Voice of resurgence absolutely nuts! i can't get over how good this card is
call of the conclave our populatable watch wolf
selesnya charm pump, token, removal...this card is always what you need in that moment
Intangible virtue pumps all our tokens but more importantly vigilance!
3 drop
Wayfaring temple increase your army and pump itself
rootbound defenses supreme verdict? aurelia's fury? izzet staticaster? i don't think so mate! oh and by the way, i'll get another token on top of that
4 drop
advent of the wurm 5/5, trample, instant and we can populate it!
trostani, selesnya's voice populate on a stick, plus tons of lifegain!
5+ drop
Thragtusk we play green so, why not? and we can populate its legacy
armada wurm game ending bomb, wrath recovery
so the deck would look like this:
4 Doomed Traveler
4 Voice of Resurgence
4 Wayfaring Temple
2 Trostani, selesnya's voice
2 Thragtusk
1 Armada Wurm
4 Selesnya Charm
4 Call of the Conclave
2 Intangible virtue
2 Rootbound defenses
4 Sunpetal Grove
4 Temple Garden
6 Plains
7 Forest
i'd very much like to squeeze Growing ranks, Parallel lives, trostani's summoner and geist-honored monkin there but it might be a bit too much...
..and waiting for Emmara Tandris...
