I've always kept my decks as much as possible to the colors Im comfortable with which are the Abzan Colors ( Green , White and Black). Today I'm back with Selesnya ( Green & White) with my take on Selesnya Tokens. Here by the why is the deck list I will be running which is similar but in ways quite different from the usual token deck list :
Selesnya Tokens :
Maindeck (60)
4 Dauntless Bodyguard
3 Pelt Collector
3 Emmara, Soul of the Accord
4 Tithe Taker
3 Trostani Discordant
4 Venerated Loxodon
2 Pride of Conquerors
3 March of the Multitudes
1 Unbreakable Formation
1 Make a Stand
3 Legion's Landing
4 History of Benalia
4 Conclave Tribunal
5 Forest
8 Plains
4 Sunpetal Grove
4 Temple Garden
Sideboard (15) :
4 Adanto Vanguard
3 Knight of Autumn
2 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants
1 Citywide Bust
1 Unbreakable Formation
1 March of the Multitudes
3 Baffling End
With this list I got 2 new components from the most recent set which is Ravnica Allegiance :
We can use Unbreakable Formation :
- As a combat trick for us to block incoming attacks and in the process not lose any of our creatures.
- As a pump spell because if we use it on our main phase ,not only will make our creatures indestructible but also give it all +1/+1 counters and gain vigilance until end of turn. And because we didnt tap our creatures to attack the turn before we can use them to convoke a sizeable MARCH OF THE MULTITUDES.
Now opponents can't just leave 4 mana open for a Settle the Wreckage or do combat tricks with creatures with flash when this guy is in the battlefield as he tax them for (1)
which can be a difference between victory and defeat.
This cards are chosen a the guardians for the tokens and token makers. Too many targeted removal and mass removal in the current standard. If we can survive a mass removal chances of us winning rises.
If you notice every other creature in this list can trigger the initial +1/+1 counter of Pelt Collector and also it double triggers with Venerated Loxodon. This together with Dauntless Bodyguard are the main difference of my list from other token list because in my mind it gives a much needed firepower and can stick to the board much longer ( I HOPE SO...)
THE SIDEBOARD:
The rest of the deck are the usuals in building a Token Deck. This deck relies in speed and hope to outnumber the opponents in no time and with a bit of luck hope they dont draw that mass removal but even if they do I think the deck is prepared ( I HOPE SO.... PT. 2)
I will be playtesting this and will give an update on how it went as soon as Im done
Thanks for reading...
Remember to Turn Sideways and Declare ATTACK!!!!!
