BW standard tokens (Standard MTG Deck)

This is my take on a common archetype in other formats, b/w tokens. This deck would be bonkers if Lingering Souls or Intangible Virtue were still legal, but since they're not it's ok.

Hand disruption:

Despise, thoughtseize, brain maggot

Anthems:

Dictate of heliod, spear of heliod, hall of triumph, sorin

Token makers/win conditions:

Raise the alarm, sorin, brimaz, elspeth

Hard removal:

Utter end (under rated so far :) ) heroes downfall spear of heliod, murderous-cutHand restocking:Removed read the bones, although it could be put in over a dictate.

You will do damage to yourself with this deck. Especially with all the fetches to thin out the lands thoughtseize to eradicate threats and read the bones to restock. Sorin's plus one is crucial to make sure you don't kill yourself.

Caves of koilos makes this deck work. This deck is nuts when it goes turn one thoughtseize, turn two thoughtseize and despise, turn three brimaz. And caves enables that.

Not sure if aggro-control is an archetype but it should be.

This deck is built to crush the courser/caryatid midrange decks. The side board has answers for aggro. Bring in the sheep and the sop's, out with 4 thoughtseize and 2 utter end. The rams give you incidental life gain and make it a bear for aggro decks to attack through.

1st run of the deck — Oct. 4, 2014

Edit

FNM 3-1-1. I crushed in all 3 of the wins vs mono red, mono green devotion, and a jeskai tempo deck only dropping 1 game.

The loss came at the hands of a boros burn build I made :-(

The draw was against a naya midrange deck.

After starting 1-1-1 and I made a switch to add 4 brimaz to the main. And it was bonkers. Multiple games went turn one thoughtseize/despise, turn two 2 thoughtseize/despise turn three brimaz turn four spear turn five scoop.

Opponents were complaining I wasn't letting them play their deck. It felt good. Wish I would've started with the four of brimaz. Not sure it will beat a super aggro deck like the boros build I made tonight. But there's not many of those out there.
