Title: Tokens...
Post by: Thornrune on August 22, 2013, 04:21:38 AM
So I'm not that great at deck building,  and I just got into magic about two months ago. But token decks look like a lot of fun. And I was wondering what colors are best for tokens, or a ideal decklist to follow. I like white and black but not sure.  If anyone could throw me some ideas that would be awesome.

Perhaps i will try to splash for some red and use {hellrider}.. Not sure wich is best, hellrider or {sorin, lord of innistrad}

I think the emblem is good, though direct dmg is better..
BUT Sorin is more versatible, right?

 Green White Black (Called Junk) is best for tokens

{Voice of Resurgence}
{Advent of the Wurm}
{Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}
{Lingering Souls}
{Thragtusk}
{Spectral Procession}

Blue White Black (Called Esper) has

{Lingering Souls}
{Drogskol Captain}

Which can be crazy with {Intangible Virtue}

So if you want heavy creature based agro, go {G}{W}{B}. If you want flying spirits and board control, go {U}{B}{W}

Hope this helped!

Yeah, Junk is always in the tip 4 at my FNM, if built right. Staples include:
{Advent if the Wurm}, {Trostani Selesnya's Voive}, All standard Garruk's, {Thragtusk}, and {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}. Those are some of the best.

I like the black white combos. I was thinking something like midnight haunting,  {Spectral Procession},  {Increasing Devotion}, then put it in with  {Honor of the Pure} and  {Intangible Virtue}.
Have some planeswalkers like elspeth and sorin.

What modern gives you time to play collective blessings? Tron wants to kill you by turn five or six, Same with Kiki or splinter, I would think collective blessing would just sit there is a dead card.
