You're very reliant on Lingerin Souls as your token generator. Decks like these are always token decks first and polymorph decks later.

I have 8 main board token generators. I have 4x {Lingering Souls} and 4x {Raise the Alarm} and with all of my draw manipulation ({Sleight of Hand} and {Serum Visions}) it's not hard to draw into them

I didn't see Raise the Alarms. I think that you should run some Thoughtseize and card hate. remand would be so much better than having Sleight of Hand.

{Sleight of Hand} is for my combo I already have cheap counters. I do like {Remand} but I think I'd just rather dig.

But ill play test it anyway!

I play 4 {Thoughtseize} just to stop their counters

Thanks for the help! :P +1 for taking the time to help me :D

I started to build a deck like this for casual play and never finished it.  It is a great concept.

This was what a built a few months ago and left in the back burner but I'm rebuilding it so far play testing has been quite good!

Maybe a few  {Blinkmoth Nexus}, {Inkmoth Nexus} or  {Mutavault} just to add more to sac.

Also a few different bombs for a  {Mass Polymorph}

Thought about those lands but my mana is already shakey so I don't want other non colored land.

As for mass Polymorph ... Lol no although hilarious I want this to be competitive and having to cast a 4 mana sorcery is hard enough imagine a 6 mana one!!! Lol

But thanks for the suggestion!!

For treesmoker:

My list is a combo tokens deck so I have T Seizes and Emrakuls that drive the price up BUT you can easily go BW tokens and have a solid competitive deck for under $100

how often does the swan song token make a difference when the annihilator trigger off of emrakul hits? I don't have much experience mixing emmy and swan song, so it may be completely negligible, but do you find the swan token to be troublesome?

To be honest I've ran swan song a lot and its token does nothing lol with virtue out my tokens are bigger or equal to it and it has never hurt me

It's also so fun to Thoughtseize them late game then counter it with swan song! OR if they counter a spell of yours you go ok in response I counter it instead and get a token!!

why not run {springjack pasture} as a 1 of? tokens, mana sink, and ramp all in one!

edit: also {proteus staff} as a 1-of? it's an alternate win con

Bump for {Hunter} but even this is slightly outdated I added MB {Dispel} and 4 {Giraxian Probe} instead of {Thoughtseize}
