So there are some pretty overpowered token cards in Standard right now, so I decided to build a token deck for the first time. I have been working this back and forth and somehow ended up with an average CMC of 3.5 which is way higher than any deck I have built. It seems to be working well, but any suggestions are welcome. I listed the cards, in my opinion, in order of brokenness.
Sylvan Caryatid for the mana ramp, not really broken but a Hexproof 0/3 mana dork that produces any color mana for 2 CMC is questionable.
Spear of Heliod 3 mana for +1/+1 pump on everyone and removal to boot, a little better than fair.
Banishing Light The new
Oblivion Ring
, what can you say, removes anything for 3 mana.
Advent of the Wurm
4 CMC for a 5/5 trampler at instant speed, starting to feel the advantage on this one.
Wayfaring Temple is a 1/1 for 3 mana early game, but it populates every time it hits and with 6 tokens down he is now a 7/7 that gets bigger every turn for 3 CMC
Collective Blessing
costs 6 mana for +3/+3 on everyone, seems fair unless you have 6-8 tokens down and now you just paid less than 1 mana per creature for a +3/+3 that sticks, Ouch! Same deal on Dictate of Heliod but it has Flash which makes it nasty for combat tricks.
Devout Invocation
is a true finisher. Play it right after Elspeth is down and you will get 5+ angels that can come in as 6/6's if the above cards are out and gain 20+ life if Trostani is down. A super deflating game ender for my opponents on turn 7.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion is also spendy at 6 CMC, but if you take her to ultimate, you will have nine 3/3 soldiers with flying for 6 mana, what a steal.
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice costs 4 and is some trouble to cast, but now you can populate your 5/5 wurm and gains 5 life for 3 CMC as often as you like, nice deal.
Brimaz, King of Oreskos ahh, now we are getting into the broken cards, 3 mana for a 3/4 with vigilance that produces a token every time he attacks or blocks, and don't forget that the tokens have vigilance too.
Alive / Well
so Well is not broken, but Alive sure is, 1 mana for 12-20 life mid game, hell yeah I'll take 4 of them!
Brave the Elements protects most of my creatures or sends them through for damage for 1 W, really!
And for the finally, the most busted ass token card in Standard, Voice of Resurgence!!! Ok, so for 2 mana you get a 2/2 that nobody wants to touch and pops tokens with P/T equal to your number of creatures if your opponent wants to cast instants on your turn. There is a reason this card is $25.
Sideboard
Celestial Flare
takes out big fliers and gods and Hexproof creatures
Gods Willing keeps Trostani and Brimaz in play against removal heavy decks
Rootborn Defenses covers board wipes and populates as a bonus
Deicide
is just general enchantment hate and crushes gods. Also gives me a peak at opponents hand if used on a god.
Negate counters counter spells in control decks, only way to fight that!
The deck is puts major pressure on as the game progresses and by the time you drop a Dictate of Heliod or
Collective Blessing
there isn't much your opponent can do. Super fun, super broken, what else can I say.
I always appreciate comments so please leave them, and +1 if you like the deck.
