bump.

So this type of deck falls to a board wipe, maybe {Rootborn Defense}? It's not the greatest and doesn't stop languish but it will stop destroy all, and burn all.

In my tokens deck I use {promise of bunrei} as board wipe insurance. It isn't perfect, but it is better than nothing

What would you suggest being removed so this could be run?

{Westvale abbey} is good in this

I was really thinking about this, it would be solid

I like the card itself but don't know if I'd actually remove something else for it. The deck is creating so many creatures you'll be able to recover, also if the deck has black with potential of damnations I know not to overextend myself.

Personally I would remove 1 x raise the alarm and either secure the wastes or 1 x bitterblossom and put in 2 x {promise of bunrei}. But there is an argument for keeping all of those cards.

The only thing that scares me about this is how many path to exiles are flying around. So many resources to lose if it gets pathed.

Yes, but there are ways to play around path to exiles. I mean if nothing else just don't activate this ability if you're playing a white list. Also, with 5 tokens on board and 5 mana most of the time you're ahead

That's exactly why I think it's unnecessary.

It is unnecessary but I still want to give it a shot before i trash the idea. lol

Once you have a board you can just not play things and leave mana up. If they board wipe, respond by transforming Abbey. If they path it after that it's not as big a loss.

Ran this tonight at FNM
Rd 1 against elves 2-1
Rd 2 against goblins 2-0
Rd 3 against grixis 2-0
Rd 4 tied out
Top8
Rd 1 against infect 2-0
Rd 2 against grixis 2-0
Rd 3 against jeskai delver 2-0

Was a good night for the tokes! Gideon proved to be a very useful card. The 2/2's and anthems were amazing he brings to the table, not to mention the 5/5 indestructible!

Just won a Modern GPT Charlotte with this list :)
