With a deck like this, having Doran on the field is pretty important. I have bombs that work if he's on the field or not, but most of the creatures do not shine unless he is on the field. He was a strange general to build for so I do not know if I did it well. The treefolk theme is obviously there and I went with a shaman sub theme that synergies well with most of the creatures in the deck.
It's straight forward for the most part and that's how my friend likes to play. Ramp mana, get Doran online. Protect him. Beat face. Remove the things in the way.
I have Deathless Angel in the deck not only for it's 7 toughness but because granting indestructibility is very useful. Seeing how often my friends and I sweep, I think it might be good to get more than just two or three cards that grant that in this deck. If I'm missing anything else that could help me out in that department, that would be great.
Also, I'm always worried about the mana base. How does it look?
As always, any and all suggestions are appreciated
Why don't you use Spearbreaker behemoth instead or inclusive of the angel? Only costs 1 colorless and is a more protected creature. You are also more likely to have green then white mana available. Same with Planar Cleansing. I would use Wrath of God , Damnation, or Cataclysm instead, since they are less mana centric
I would take out ensouled scimitar and Accorder's shield. Maybe put in a Riftsweeper, to help get back powerful cards that were exiled?
Also, put in two/three more mana. You want 37 or 38-40 in 3 plus colors for it to be excellent. Also, if you have one, put in a Sensei's Divining top. Can never go wrong with card manipulation.
I haven't actually played it yet. my friends and I bought the preconstructed Commander decks and well, I love building decks. My friend said he wanted to make a deck with something big and green in it. I showed him Doran. Instantly his heart was set on it. I just came up with it over a few hours of looking up cards online.
The top might be too $$, idk how he'll feel about that. cleansing was used because I have an extra just laying around.
Spearbreaker behemoth doesn't seem to help out all of the creatures as well as i'd hope. I might just get another equipment for the deck to give that ability.

Tell us more about the actual play.
