Best "Spike" Deck?

Standard forum

Posted on July 12, 2016, 12:48 a.m. by Jimmy_Chinchila

Although I typically enjoy brewing and winning through cool plays, I would really like to just dominate for once. I'm not much of a Spike, but I am looking for something easy to pilot that can get wins easily. It doesn't need to be all that fun or even fair. I have playsets of most everything in Standard and am wanting a deck that just ruins. I see Humans mopping up Top 8's but not sure how much skill and practice is required to be proficient with the deck. I usually run R/G Ramp but it's pretty hit or miss. Thoughts?

Some variation of humans or gw tokens won't ever be wrong in this meta.

Yeah I think White humans is the easiest way to go, but G/W Tokens or Bant Company are also strong decks.

Humans without a doubt. As long as you know how to play a game of Magic, the deck just wins.

I feel like G/W Tokens is the stronger deck. Sometimes, Humans just loses to Languish and then your hand/deck are garbage commons. At least with Tokens, you have an abundance of Planeswalkers, Secure the Wastes, Westvale Abbey  Flip, and Oath of Nissa to call upon.

G/W Tokens is probably the stronger deck, but I'd argue that Humans is easier to play. I can't speak to the difficult of G/W tokens, though I imagine that it has more lines of play to consider than Humans.

Gw tokens is also less effected by rotation if that's even a consideration

Ok cool thanks, I may just playtest both decks and see which I can play better. Thanks for the input!
