Sideboard


My build of G/W tokens in Aether revolt standard. It's capable of playing aggressively but also has some late game power with Ajani Unyielding and Westvale Abbey  . The deck is capable of delivering lethal damage by turn 5 with a good draw and by turn 6/7 quite regular.

Thraben Inspector The little 1 drop that could, replacing itself and allowing us to start the beatdown early, makes oath of ajani turn 2 better too.

Oath of Nissa allows us to cast our planeswalkers on time and digs for what we need, good to prevent flooding out if the game goes long

Walking Ballista great answer to the copycat combo and can provide the last few points of damage when an opponent stabilises the board. As an added bonus it can flip avacyn on demand by casting for 0

Heart of Kiran Protection for the planeswalkers, and able to be on offense and defence later.

Lambholt Pacifist   The 3 power means she can crew kiran. She can attack as a 4/4 on turn 3 with either Oath of Ajani or Nissa, Voice of Zendikar pumping. She punishes any slower decks that can't remove her as she will transform.

Oath of Ajani Allows us to ramp into a turn 3 gideon, it can pump our battlefield in the late game.

Nissa, Voice of Zendikar She protects herself with a token and can pump the team to make combat unfavourable for our opponents, and can allow kiran to begin attacking on turn 3

Stasis Snare Can help us against decks that want to go bigger than us. It can be cast off Sram's Expertise and as an enchantment it can be found off ajani's +2. It's also a great main deck answer to a few problem cards and it having flash means i can be react to threats as there put down, it can stop the saheeli twin combo and remove any big creatures the marvel decks might cast.

Rishkar, Peema Renegade At worst he's a 3 mana 3/3 that taps for. He can crew heart of kiran the turn he comes down and allows us tom play ahead of curve on turn 4, allowing us to cast avacyn or ajani early.

Gideon, Ally of Zendikar everyone knows what he does by now, all 3 of his abilities are useful in the deck, whether he's pumping out his own army of 2/2's, crashing into the opponent's face or providing an anthem for the team, he's probably winning the game.
Archangel Avacyn Heart of kiran 5 and 6 with massive upside, givesus the potential to blow out a combat step. If she flips the board wipe shouldn't be too damaging to us as we'll either have our creatures pimped up past 3 toughness or be able to replace them thanks to our planeswalkers. Withn emrakul gone avacyn might be ready to rule the skies again.

Ajani Unyielding If the game stalls or my threats have been removed then ajani shines in the mid to late game as a source of card advantage and selection, as he filters away unwanted lands from the top of the deck. He's able to remove any problematic permanents such as brisela that our deck otherwise couldn't answer.

Nissa, Vital Force This can be brought in against control decks that answer our early threats as another source of card advantage with her -3 and ultimate.

Sram's Expertise Being able to play 7 mana worth of spells on turn 4 is amazing and even the worst case of jut 3 bodies on the field is what this deck wants anyway. Great to bring in on the draw where gideon isn't as impactful

Fumigate allows us to wipe the board against other go wide decks and with our planeswalkers out we can refill our side of the board quickly

Authority of the Consuls Purely as a concession to saheeli twin

Declaration in Stone great against other token strategies

Tireless Tracker A card advantage engine that if left unanswered, can run away with a game.

Sigarda, Heron's Grace We don't have many humans to protect, but she protects our planeswalkers from burn damage as we can't be targeted so it can't be redirected. She can also turn our graveyard into tokens. She may prove a better mainboard addition than avacyn.

Ajani Unyielding an extra copy to bring in for grindier matchups where card advantage becomes important.

Quarantine Field takes care of opposing planeswalkers, in testing, this is the card that decides the mirror match

Verdurous Gearhulk great to board in against an opponent with no fliers as we won't need avacyn for aerial protection, possibly better in the maindeck than avacyn depending on the metagame.

Updates Add

I've made some changes based on results from testing, I've added in Oath of Nissa as I was losing too many games due to being unable to land a planeswalker on curve, I've moved any non-permanent cards i had to the sideboard to make ajani's +2 better. I'm happy with the majority of the deck, i'm just unsure whether oath of ajani should just be pacifist and ballista no. 4 and heart of kiran no.3.
