Here Kitty Kitty

This deck is focused on creating cheap, yet powerful creatures that can be efficiently buffed. Plays Favored Hoplite, which will grow when targeted and Fleecemane Lion for a mana sink. Also includes a good deal of creature removal and protection spells.

So, I'm having some difficulty deciding which cards to keep and which to leave. I've checked out some starting hands and the deck seems to run pretty well, but there are a few cards I'm not sure about. I think that brave the elements is more useful overall than acolyte's reward or hold the line. Would everyone agree with that? Do I even need acolyte's reward or hold the line on my sideboard at all? Second, between loam lion, doomed traveler and Qasali Ambusher, which are best? I really like ambusher, but I like the others too. Unfortunately I can't play all of them and my other cards are too good to get rid of Any recommendations?

Okay. I have now made (for the better I think) significant revisions. I'm not using loam lion, doomed traveler or the Qasali Ambusher. Instead, I'm running Judge's Familiar and Gladecover Scout. I realized that hexproof or a countersell ability was more important for a deck that tries to buff creatures with spells than one or two extra power or toughness. I'm also running Troll Ascetic as another annoying hexproof regenerator. I feel pretty happy with the deck now, but I'm always open to suggestions.

And yet more revisions. I replaced my troll ascetic with loxodon smiter. Ascetic is good, but I like having a 4/4 compared to a 3/2 for damage. Also, an uncounterable creature that discourages people from making me discard cards is awesome. I have enough instants to protect my smiter and at 4/4 he passes the bolt test. Also, Loxodon Smiter helps me get a lot better use out of brave the elements since he's white. That will help me protect him and potentially push through for damage. I also replace temporal isolation with Dromoka's Command. Once again, I really liked isolation, but the command is just so much more versatile. It can function as a pseudo removal while buffing my creatures OR it can counter instant damage OR it can remove a pesky enchantment. Awesome card for most situations in my opinion
