This is my take on a Jeskai Token deck. I added some control and aggro elements, because I wanted to make it a fast token deck, using a combo I ilke, Battlefield Thaumaturge + Launch the Fleet . The trick with this deck is to play as much creatures as possible, target them with your cheap spells, get tokens and swing for the win!

• Battlefield Thaumaturge + Launch the Fleet is to double my army for W. Triggers Akroan Crusader and Vanguard of Brimaz, so you are good for an alpha strike and chump block after.

• Battlefield Thaumaturge + Glimpse the Sun God and Battlefield Thaumaturge + Icy Blast let me tap all my opponent creatures for W or U. Even more, you can declare attackers, and before they choose blockers, play one of those, tapping all their creatures and yours. Since yours are already tapped, it will do nothing special other than triggering heroic.

• Another combo is Battlefield Thaumaturge + Goblin Rabblemaster + Icy Blast . The turn the goblin can attack, I have two tokens if the first one did not get blocked (on turn 4). This means that on turn 4, I swing with the two goblin tokens and the Goblin Rabblemaster which will get +2/+0, becoming 4/2. I then play an Icy Blast on all of my opponent creatures, tapping them for two turns. This means 6 damage on turn 4. On turn 5, I get another goblin token, and I attack with 3 1/1 tokens and the Goblin Rabblemaster that is now 5/2 for a total of 8 damage on turn 5 (if I play nothing else), a total of 14 on two turns. This can finish your opponents. It is even better with multiple Goblin Rabblemasters out!

• I splashed red to play Akroan Crusader because I wanted to be able to put a creature on the field turn 1. There are no mountains in the deck however, that is why I use painlands, while fixing mana at the same time. Vanguard of Brimaz is there to achieve the same thing, while the tokens are a little bit stronger.

• Brimaz, King of Oreskos and Phalanx Leader are both here to take care of mid/late game. Targetting the leader with two spells (let's say Launch the Fleet and Glimpse the Sun God ) allow me for 9 unblockable damage, something that can end a game really fast.

• Artisan of Forms is the card I am not sure here, it can become a copy of any token producer like an Akroan Crusader or a Vanguard of Brimaz, even another Battlefield Thaumaturge if needed, but I don't know if I should replace it for 2x Phalanx Leader and 2x Vanguard of Brimaz or something else. Please help me with this!

Sideboard

• Purphoros, God of the Forge is a great T4 drop, but I put it in the sideboard only because I have almost no chance to turn it into a creature. However, it can be a game winner if the matchup allows you to side it in. Drop it T4, T5 you need to have 5 creatures, play a Launch the Fleet followed by Glimpse the Sun God /Icy Blast to be sure to pass through.

Turn 4 Win

• Turn 1: Land, Akroan Crusader

• Turn 2: Land, Battlefield Thaumaturge

• Turn 3: Land, Brimaz, King of Oreskos

• Turn 4: Land, Phalanx Leader , Launch the Fleet, Glimpse the Sun God /Icy Blast

Please help, comment and +1! As you noted, I have no sideboard, so help would be nice!
