I'm only interested in Knight of Autumn, actually. Conclave Cavalry is cute, but it doesn't really become abusive when copied ad nauseum. Knight of Autumn is just a superior Reclamation Sage; out of my two GW decks apparently only Trostani is the one using Rec Sage. So I will definitely get one but perhaps I should pick up more than one, depending on its price upon release.

Maybe its my meta but I play around a lot of wrath effects so endlessly copying conclave seems like a nice plan. That and blade of selves and mimic vating it are all bonuses for me.

Neither of these guys will be getting into my list. The Conclave doesn't do nearly enough, and while the Knight is rather versatile, none of the individual parts are all that special, and there are better cards for each of its modes already.
Not exactly. If your goal is to use Mirrorpool-like effects to make token copies of your already awesome creatures, then replacing those awesome creatures with vanilla Angels probably isn't a good thing. However, if you wanna run a lot of otherwise-vanilla token-makers like the aforementioned Awakening Zone, then this card is a slam-dunk.

Exactly.
I am not certain if my Creatures aren't awesome enough to include or not Divine Visitation, it's something I'm going to have to think about. Which means it isn't a slam dunk obvious upgrade. Sure, 4/4 Vigilance Angels are cool, but what if instead I was photocopying Trostanis or Sun Titans?
I was actually thinking of building a Trostani deck and looked at a bunch of common cards usually found in this deck and picked them up. But your deck seems to be a lot different from any other Trostani deck I have seen, could you highlight key cards or synergies in the deck that can help me better understand what you are going for because the description for the deck I feel is a little too short.
I try to turn my Creatures into tokens and then copy the crap out of them. Sure, there's some great tokens out there, which the deck does run, but there's something much nicer about making more and more copies of Sun Titan. That's all. Otherwise, the rest of the deck is designed to try and not lose, which is why I put this in my competitive instead of mid-power. It's not competitive in the cEDH way, but this deck eats battlecruiser decks alive which is why I can't play it against anything midpower unless the entire table knows the deck.
If I were to suggest one card that is continually overlooked, and I don't know why, it would be Herald of the Host. It solos down the table, making more Angels that you can copy, which then makes more angels. Frequently with Trostani you would gain 8 life from the original Herald attacking, then 4 from making a copy of one of the Myriad tokens. Next turn, you would gain 16 life then another 4 from making a token. The turn after that, it's 32 and so on. Plus your opponents are being hit in the face with 4/4 fliers that also have Vigilance, making you a difficult target to hit.
For this kind of deck and making tokens out of things that aren't supposed to be tokens, what are your thoughts on bramble sovereign and is it worthy of a cut into the deck?
knight of autumn seems interestingly techy
