Poppet Stitcher

Creature — Human Wizard

Whenever you cast an instant or or sorcery spell, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with decayed. (It can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at the end of combat.)

At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control three or more creature tokens, you may transform this.

That's kind of an interesting pick for a swap martinant365. I think Marchesa, the Black Rose is cool and am considering her as a potential deck transition for Anhelo, but I don't think she fits all that well in the 99 for Anhelo.

Marchesa wants to play more aggressively, and swing with creatures each combat. Anhelo tends to lean more spellslinger, and utilizes a smaller creature base and token producers to create fodder for Casualty 2.

I noticed your deck is missing some token creators that can be really helpful for an Anhelo deck. Some helpful ones are:

• Ghoulish Procession
• Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia
• Black Market Connections - Another pricey upgrade, but worth it in a deck like this.
• Curse of the Restless Dead
• Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip
• Cryptic Pursuit
• Faerie Artisans - A pricey upgrade, but a personal favorite of mine for stealing Enter the Battlefield triggers
• Talrand, Sky Summoner
• Deekah, Fractal Theorist

I would also generally recommend swapping some of your sorcery speed removal and interaction for more instant speed stuff. Instant speed removal combined with consistent token generation can help you remove multiple permanents per removal spell, which is really what Anhelo's specialty is.

i love token decks... I recently made a jeskai spell spam variant focused around Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip and Gather the Townsfolk instead of using Intangible Virtue. I really like this Abzan build +1

I also have been dabbling with jeskai tokens.... besides Monastery Mentor there is Young Pyromancer and Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip which I have been using with great success... Raise the Alarm is also nice for instant speed synergy with stitcher.

@ColonelCards the Goal/win condition of the deck is to play Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip and or Young Pyromancer/Monastery Mentor and cast instant and sorcery spells to create a large number of Tokens... when poppet stitcher transforms into Poppet Factory  ^Flip the tokens become a swarm of 3/3's... casting thing like Opt, Consider and Faithful Mending create tokens and get more cards in hand to cast additional spells for removal or countermagic to snowball into just having an overwhelming board presence of creatures/tokens beating the opponent down.

• Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip Is great when you have 1/1s but bad if they do anything more. Prowess is an ability so you tokens wouldn't be as strong. 3 mana is also fairly espensive. We would want to slow the game down more. I might suggest Luminarch Ascension being this is a value control deck. It helps keep card advantage and if you are holding mana you can sink it here at the end step.
• Manamorphose also seems pretty good in the deck its a spell that gives you your mana back/fixes it into any of your needed colors and is card neutral.
• Hard Evidence might be replaced with Slight of Hand or Serum Visions being you want to filter your deck better.
• You are sitting a 8 fetchlands i wouldnt go past 6, 6 shock lands is also high Jeskai control is current running 7 fetch and 3 shock lands.
• Consider Mystic Gate Castle Vantress Celestial Colonnade 1x Raugrin Triome Hall of Storm Giants 1x Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire The creature lands can help close games or stall games when needed.They also are more evasive which can help. Utility lands are worth it they really help. Fiery Islet and Sunbaked Canyon can also help draw cards and filter. I run 5 in my burn deck.
• I also think 6 basics is a lot i would only do 2-3 personally. Espically when Seachrome Coast Inspiring Vantage and Spirebluff Canal exist.
• Spectral Procession is a good value card to think about, Lingering Souls is also a card but i wouldnt go that route personally.
• Boros Charm is also a great card that can protect against board wipes or give some burst with a mentor token or just give you the needed reach to close some games.
• Let me know if you want me to look at the deck some more

Oof waitaminute.... would Dreadhorde Invasion not mesh with a flipped Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip?

Sedgemoor Witch might work instead?

Icbrgr on Inspired to brew UWR tokens

tinkered with the list a bit more today and came across two cards that really seem interesting. Hard Evidence and Gather the Townsfolk.

• They make bodies (that can get boosted by Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip).
• Triggers stitcher/Young Pyromancer/Monastery Mentor effects.
• Makes a clue token for draw/in a pinch make 5 bodies.

also plying with the idea of Rapid Hybridization to either use as removal or target one of my own smaller tokens to gain a 3/3 out of it.

all in all its a work in progress and really appreciate you guys for helping me make improvements to this deck. so thank you!
