I'm making a Horde Magic deck to play against. Can I put tokens, for example, 1/1 Myr tokens, or will I have to use substitute cards to represent them?

If you are playtesting on the site, there will be a little bar at the bottom giving you an option on all the tokens that can be produced by the deck it's a dropdown menu like the one that allows you to draw a card by name.

hoard decks are usually 100 card decks that are 40% magic cards and 60% tokens. here's an example of a zombie hoard deck. i used actual magic cards as proxies for the token cards.
i'm not sure who to tag or ask if adding tokens to decks is possible/worth the effort. yeaGO is my best guess to ping?

is there such a thing as modern horde? is horde a format?

horde is just a casual variant of magic that lets players play co-op against an autopilot deck instead of battling each other. normally you play 1-4 players vs a horde deck. horde decks usually have a them (zombies, squirrels, eldrazi, etc) and are usually built so the horde doesn't need to make any decisions. it's similar to the hydra decks that wizards produced for the theros block prereleases.

Horde Magic is a very casual "format" that tends to function similarly to the Theros game day challenge decks with multiple players against one deck that plays itself. This deck is 100 cards, with no land and most of them being tokens rather than actual cards and all the rest of them being cards related in some way to the tribe of those tokens. As an example, a Zombie Horde deck might have 55 2/2 Zombie tokens, 5 5/5 Zombie Giant tokens, and forty spells such as Army of the Damned, Reap the Seagraf, or some kind of Zombie lord. The deck starts its own turn by turning over cards from the deck until they hit a card that isn't a token. It then casts all spells and puts all tokens onto the field. Then is combat. Then the turn ends. There are generally no activated abilities in the deck. The game is over generally when there are no more cards in the deck and no more creatures on the field or when all players have reached 0 life.

haha, that's wild. what if there was just a new 'tokens' where you put them there? it would display just like the sideboard does now.

Would you be able to put them in the deck itself as cards? That way you could even use the TO playtester to sort of act as the Horde deck.

All tokens that can be produced by cards in your deck list will be listed in the side bar below the deck price. You can not add them to the main deck list however.
