This is my Akim Jeskai tokens deck. Here we utilize the power of Akim to try to create a token on each of our opponent's turns. With Akim's ability, the first time we create a token each turn, we get very powerful 1/1 bird token which will have our opponents shaking in their boots. And with every turn cycle, we can end up with two to four more birds. At this point, it might just be best for our opponents to concede. And to ensure we are making a token each turn, we have lots of cards that have token making abilities we can activate every turn, such as Skycat Sovereign. Also, with these activated abilities, we can generate quite a bit of board presence without actually expending many cards. And there are plenty of ways we can refill our hand.

To see my super secret tecc, look below:

Token Makers

Here are some examples of how the deck makes tokens:

1.Retrofitter Foundry is very cheap, which makes it very easy to create lots of servo bois.

2.Kher Keep and similar token making lands can be quite useful to get the ball rolling.

3.Kykar, Wind's Fury and similar effects can be powerful in this deck because lots of our spells are noncreature - However, I've found that I can't have too many in the deck because they require other cards to activate them. That means I have to bend over backwards to cast a spell at a non-optimal time, just to get my tokens.

4.Elspeth, Sun's Champion not only makes a bunch of tokens, but can also wipe the board.

5.Spell Swindle is a counterspell, but it also makes treasure tokens.

Card Draw

1.Ephara, God of the Polis is especially strong because as long as we make a token each turn, we draw a card each turn.

2.Whirlwind of Thought is also really good, because lots of our token makers are noncreature spells.

3.Mentor of the Meek lets us draw for basically every token we create.

4.Skullclamp - it's skullclamp, need I say more.
