I believe that one of the more powerful aspects of token decks in modern is to make very common mb removal spells such as path, Terminate, Fatal Push, Abrupt Decay, and even Lightning Bolt. I feel that a card like Greater Gargadon somewhat takes away from this dominant aspect. Instead of more non-creature spells to trigger your token producer, the gargadon is a sac outlet that produces a large body that has no protection from the Path to Exile that has been sitting in your opponents hand all game. I really enjoy Mardu tokens, and it is a great deck for so many different directions, and pulling the deck towards more tokens is usually more of my personal style.

@TheRainbowCowMy main use for gargadon is it being a sacrifice outlet for spot and MASS REMOVAL spells and it can be a good finisher against more controlling decks. My main line of play is playing discards spells and then try to make tokens in t2 or t3 using removal along the way. I dont always want my gargadons so 2 gargadons seems enough for me as I dont want to t1 gargadon suspend into t2 gargadon suspend. Also I came across many people do not know about suspended creatures getting haste rule so it becomes a bit of a surprise. I already have 4 Lightning Bolts in the deck and 3 fatal pushes and 3 path to exiles. Abrupt Decay doesnt fit in my colors so no idea why you suggested that. I might consider Terminate but then I have too much removal in this deck , Also remember I have discard spells aswell.
