And only doing standard atm

Starting out, 2 decks can be a stretch.  You said white weenie earlier; that can be a fun interactive deck.  Post your deck list in the standard section and you will get some good ideas on singles you can get to round out the deck.

FNM are great places to start and get more specific advice.  Playmate, sleeves, life and +1/+1 counters, pad and pencil, money for entry and snacks, a good bag all help to make the experience enjoyable.  Pen and paper can be used for keeping life count as well as notes on how to improve your deck for next time.

I have decided to run boros burn and selesnya token

I got a playmat/sleeves toay also need to get +1/-1 counters and a spin down dice, what do you use for the counters?

Also, does it cost for fnm if it is just standard or modern? Couldn't find anywhere saying it costs

I agree that modern is more stable, but standard is more common at FNM. I have gone to a system where I have an "Esper" fat pack box that holds the core for each format.  I can then pull the cards to put my deck together from the box regardless of what format I am playing.  It is divided in sections for basic lands, nonbasic lands, creatures, sorceries...

If the OP enjoys white weenie, then he should go with that and keep in mind that he may want to expand it to other formats.  It may not be competitive in every format, but it will be fun to play.

why do you need +1/-1 counters? nothing in standard makes those. do you mean 1/1 counters and -1/-1 counters? if so, most ppl just use 6 sided or bigger dice to keep track.

Both are fun decks. Be mindful that a lot of the token deck may rotate out in a couple months. Boros burn may have similar issues unless you pull heavily from the Theros block and just dabble in the Ravnica block to flesh it out.

I know, once theros block eventually rotates our I am switching to modern

If you were to spend the cash on a box, what box would you buy, I love the look of gatecrash?
