Sideboard


The anti GW Tokens! This deck is modeled after GW Tokens and I hope to get the community involved in testing and making it better. What I like about this setup is the relatively low curve in comparison to its meta-heavy big brother and it's ability to turn on delirium effects as well.

Oath of Nissa fills the same spot and reason I'm this deck as in GW, it streamlines your pulls and setup for the early game to avoid needing double and for your Planeswalkers. This card makes early PWs available often, and a constant threat.

Sinister Concoction is great removal, is unconditional and it fuels delirium early on. Instant speed enchant effects are great too. Leave this on the board with one black mana up and watch your opponent squirm. I'm testing out Dead Weight in this slot right now and putting two Ob Nixilis Reignited in the sideboard for the unconditional removal in later game bigger threat decks.

Cryptbreaker works to great to craft tokens and fuel delirium. Being able to make use of excess land drops later in the game to generate some extra value is extra nice. This card is currently competing for its slot with Gnarlwood Dryad as delirium has been easy to hit with the deck and 3/3 for 1 is just as nice. Feel free to test and let me know your results.

In this shell Grim Flayer is awesome, becoming a 4/4 with trample is almost a given, and if it's not when it hits the board, it's going to help give itself delirium quickly. This guy is a Sensei's Divining Top on a stick when he starts dealing damage, and with trample and Liliana, the Last Hope, getting that damage shouldn't be too tough.

Ultimate Price is the two mana black removal we are all used to.

Sylvan Advocate. I don't feel as though this card needs an explanation. If you play green and the card doesn't make it... re evaluate your life decisions.

Ruinous Path takes care of Planeswalkers and can be a creature in the late game, the card is pretty awesome.

Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is great, she provides blockers, cards, life, and buffs your creatures. At three cost she's a beast. The plant tokens she makes are the perfect cover for her and Liliana, the Last Hope.

Liliana, the Last Hope is a complete reverse from Gideon. Her Token Generation happens later, but I think it's an attainable ultimate in this deck. Her weakness ability is better than it looks... No one hated on baby Jace's +1 after it started being used, and this can potentially kill things. Her -2 is usable and can fury delirium while pulling a useful creature out of the grave, though it's not the primary goal. When/if you ultimate her it's game on... Remember, her +1 can turn an advocate into a 0/2 which is either going to chump and die to our Flayer, or not block in which case Grim Flayer gets through for damage.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is this deck's 2/2 token generator, with enough removal you should be able to crank a few zombies out easily enough. Feed him and his lifelink ability will do the deed nicely.

SIDEBOARD

Clip Wings is great against fliers. We have some fliers of our own to bring in, but removal is always nice.

Self-Inflicted Wound is here to burn out bant tempo or humans decks quicker. Most of the meta is using green and white of some sort, so this is a phenomenal sideboard option. Even hitting a token is nice because of the burn it provides.

Mindwrack Demon is a good option to throw in of you are facing other fliers, it has the added bonus of surviving Languish and Grasp of Darkness. I wouldn't worry about its downside, delirium should be turned on when this guy drops. He also is nice to attack through the ground heavy meta to kill enemy Walkers.

Natural State has one purpose, to protect against Virulent Plague. While it can provide utility against some other cards, plague will utterly wreck this deck and this is our version of Dromoka for enchant hate.

Inexorable Blob Loves the delirium this deck provides, and the token generation fits the theme of this deck like a glove. I've replaced this card with Ishkanah, Grafwidow in hopes that it plays as well against Avacyn as I think the spider will. Depending on testing I may go back to blob though.

To the Slaughter should be turned on to delirium fairly quickly, if you need to hit walkers and want to 2 for 1 them and hit a creature too, this card will do the trick. Not the best choice for tokens decks because they will just sac a token, but utterly ridiculous for non token based decks.

Soul Swallower is a one of in the sideboard, I'm trying it out for some of the Midrange and Ramp decks to get through their bigger threats of threats with reach that we can't side in our fliers against.
