This is my Esper Tokens deck for MTG Arena. I owe some credit to Kenji Egashira, whose UW tokens list and accompanying video inspired me to make this list. He can be seen in action here:

Almost all of the synergy from the deck revolves around Anointed Procession, but there are still quite a few ways to win the game without it. You have some early drops in Adorned Pouncer, Anointer Priest, Sunscourge Champion and Champion of Wits. These are great to lead out early and can either apply pressure, eat removal/counterspells, or trade with creature decks, and any way that they end up in the graveyard is A-ok because you can embalm/eternalize them later. I like to cast my embalm/eternalize cards on a turn when my opponent has counterspell magic up if they're playing blue, which can put an uncounterable threat on the board and force them to have an awkward turn of doing nothing or tapping out, either of which is good. There is some early draw in Treasure Map and Search for Azcanta, and Search is especially good for stocking the graveyard, You can wait until very late to flip it as you want a lot of mana before you give up the graveyard scrying effect.

Red Deck Wins can be a very tough matchup with our ETB tapped lands and high curve. But the lifegain creatures and Settle the Wreckage can let us steal some games, although it is still a tough fight always against red.

The very best boardstates using Anointed Procession, The Scarab God , Crested Sunmare and Anointer Priest can get quite out of hand very quickly, especially if you're producing 4x indestructible 5/5 horses at each end step.

Thanks for looking at my deck and please let me know if you have any comments/suggestions
