Wild creative deck. It's ideas like these that keep me playing magic. I shall make a similar deck. I think yours can use a few tweaks.

Definitely one of the best decks I've seen in a long time tho. Hands down.

-stolen identity over mimic for faster tokens (two upon casting with parallel lives in play then 2 more when your damage goes through)
-not sure you need the cackling counterparts
-consider resto or syncopates?

I feel  {Advent of the Wurm} just needs to be in here. Maybe  {Midnight Haunting}?

Thanks man!

I think I like {Progenitor Mimic} more though. With {Stolen Idendity} I would have to be able to connect damage. With this, I can keep growing until I can connect. (Ps. {Progenitor Mimic} + {Thragtusk})

{Cackling Counterpart} was just a " Hey I probably need more Blue in the deck." But now that you mention "Syncopate" I'll most likely trade those out for some counter control.

Thanks guys!

{Master Biomancer}. In a token deck, it is BEAST.

To explain Sideboard. 


{Rootborn Defenses} against sweepers.

{Druid's Deliverance} against heavy damage Aggro such as Gruul.

{Progenitor Mimic} against another non control midrange.

{Selesnya Charm} against massive {Unburial Rites} creatures.

{Midnight Haunting} against Aggro or sweepers

I agree. But I'm not flooding weenies. Rather I'm putting in massive creature tokens. Is he still worth it?

P.s {Geist of Saint Traft} + {Trostani, Selesnya's Voice}

The bigger the better, for tokens! Yes!!!!

Try stolen identity. It's the equivalent of dropping 2 thragtusks before the combat phase. If you're playing resto, you can cipher onto the resto to get those flying beats in. If the situation requires, you could copy the resto to 2x blink thragtusk.

I don't like minic because he has to wait a whole turn. Lots can happen before your upkeep.

Ps: need someone to 2x check stack rules. Not 100% sure we could 2x blink there

Copying Resto would create 1 instance of blink. Where would the second come from?
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: Pirate John on August 18, 2013, 02:15:55 PM
Parallel lives

And I don't think biomancer helps with large tokens
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: Mlerner12 on August 18, 2013, 02:54:06 PM
It gets you even BIGGER tokens!!!!
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: Pirate John on August 18, 2013, 03:05:00 PM
Biomancer works with well with many little tokens because of the # of tokens. One slightly larger token is just as easy to get rid of as a slightly smaller one.
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: DylanW18 on August 18, 2013, 03:08:20 PM
Ahh. And Biomancer is good, but yeah I'm not sure without weenie's
Title: Re: Bant Tokens

I wonder what I said to get -4 karma. My advice is actually half decent >:(
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: Mlerner12 on August 18, 2013, 03:16:20 PM
It's 2/3ds decent at least!!!

Post by: DylanW18 on August 18, 2013, 03:23:05 PM
I'm currently deciding between Syncopate and Biomancer
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: EvACiDe on August 18, 2013, 03:37:48 PM
I'd go {syncopate} but that's just me
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: Pirate John on August 18, 2013, 03:38:11 PM
I vote negates or syncopates. Maybe a dissipate. Rachet bomb just wrecks token decks. It's a 2 drop sorc speed token board wipe.
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: DylanW18 on August 18, 2013, 03:41:04 PM
True, I don't want the Bomb. Perhaps I should run something to kill it?
Title: Re: Bant Tokens

For the bomb, {spell snare}

Standard please. Lol

And you can't destroy it. They can tap it whenever they want and leave the ability on the stack. You need the counter or root born defenses. Root born doesn't flow with your deck so that leaves counter

Post by: EvACiDe on August 18, 2013, 03:53:48 PM
Oh my bad xD then go {syncopate}
Title: Re: Bant Tokens
Post by: DylanW18 on August 18, 2013, 04:05:37 PM
I'm running Rootborn in SB. But most likely I'll just go Syncopate

Feed me good karma please Q.Q
