An update to the Mardu Tokens list. Made some improvements and began testing some new cards.

Butcher of the Horde to Sorin, Solemn Visitor Butcher of the Horde has been losing some of his viability as fatal push takes over for bolt in many lists. Sorin allows the deck a faster goldfish, a more consistent form of lifegain in control matchups, and a easy way to lock out games against death shadow players, at the cost of Butcher's ability to close out games fast.

Terminate to DreadboreAlthough terminate is better 90% of the time, it feels like it is only marginally better in those cases, where instant speed is a plus, but not a nescessity. This should help boost the decks weakness to Liliana, the Last Hope and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar two cards which proved a beating coming from other midrange decks. It also makes our tron matchup better, able to take out Ugin or Karn if nescessary (although the matchup is still rather poor.

Smuggler's CopterYou can see that I cleared out some Monastery Mentor and one of the removal slots for this card. Its still being tested, but hopefully it will prove good enough in midrange attrition matchups, and as a way to draw into more fuel, while lowering the decks curve and streamlining it a bit. Mentor was powerful when it worked, but bit the dust too often. Late game it was about as dead as copter will be, so not much is lost there.
