This is my Monastery Mentor list for modern. It is a tempo list that seeks to trigger Monastery Mentor's ability and attack with tons of tokens with prowess. Get the mentor out and use free and cheap spells and cantrips to trigger prowess and token generation multiple times per turn, and probably draw a few more cards in the process. Protect this engine with counterspells and discard for even a few turns and the win is inevitable. This deck can go nuts! It can come back from spots that seem un-winablepretty quickly, and is capable of some explosive starts.

This is a deck I am working on putting together in paper, and I don't yet have any sideboard plan. Any suggestions and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!
