My take on the 'Whip' deck. More focus on the advantage of whipping creatures in. Whipping in creatures like Grey Merchant and Siege Rhino just adds to the life gain ability of Whip. Medomai is the can generate extra turns, hard cast or Whip. Tested the original version at FNM and went 2-3. Made these changes based off the weakness' I noticed and sideboards to compete against the most popular decks.

Sideboard:R/G Monsters - Basically abandon Whip and go for control. I found the Whip strategy too slow for this deck. Take out: Whip, Medomai, Sidisi, Satyr, Commune, and just one Torrent. Put in: Disdainful Stroke, Negate, Liliana, Abhorrent, Gray Merchant, Bile Blight, Brain Maggot. Bile, cut, downfall their mana producers and discard/counter their big guys. Lots of black devotion for Abhorrent and Gray Merchant.

Jeskai Tokens-Control token production and generate your own to beat them at their own game. Take out: 1 Torrent, Necropolis, Indulgent, all Murderous Cuts. Add in: Bile Blight, Abhorrent, Gray Merchant, Dune Blast

U/B Control: Same changes as R/G monsters. Need to control the game and win fast. Utilize Rakshasa and Herald to really push the tempo and win fast.

These were my biggest challenges at FNM. Let me know what you guys think. I will be testing this at FNM this week.
