This looks absolutely brutal. My only concern is Ratchet BombMTG Card: Ratchet Bomb. It is a very commonly used sideboard card and it tears away most token deck.

That's why i sideboard NevermoreMTG Card: Nevermore.

Yupp just added the Stony SilenceMTG Card: Stony Silence to the sb just for that. Cheaper than NevermoreMTG Card: Nevermore and will keep other artifacts at bay as well.

+1 if you like it!

Elesh Norn, super anthem and clearer of the way for your token army. also you might be able to fit in one of both of the do something lands that fit these colors Vault of the ArchangelMTG Card: Vault of the Archangel Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Township

My only concern about Elesh Norn is trying to hard cast her without any ramp in the deck. I feel like most of the time she well end up as a dead card in my hand.

I definitely added the Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Township though. Thanks for reminding me! That'll help me keep some creatures on the field if they drop an Elesh Norn. Not to mention how punishing a few 3/3 flyers can be on their own.

Thinking about Thraben DoomsayerMTG Card: Thraben Doomsayers instead of the Blade SplicerMTG Card: Blade Splicers.

Any input?

Lingering SoulsMTG Card: Lingering Souls > Gather the TownsfolkMTG Card: Gather the Townsfolk. I'd swap the fourth townsfolk for a full set of souls.

you should throw some CloudshiftMTG Card: Cloudshift in, they would synergize with Geist-Honored MonkMTG Card: Geist-Honored Monk's enter the battlefield ability

Added the 4th Lingering SoulsMTG Card: Lingering Souls thx landgraftb

CloudshiftMTG Card: Cloudshift may be an option when it comes out.. ill have to play test with it a little.. but it will also work well with the Blade SplicerMTG Card: Blade Splicers

I would take out Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Township because it just seems impractical since this deck takes a few turns to ramp up. I may also recommend taking out Blade SplicerMTG Card: Blade Splicer since this isn't a splicers deck and it wouldn't really help for 2 Geist of Saint TraftMTG Card: Geist of Saint Traft and with those Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Township removed you may out in Drogskol CaptainMTG Card: Drogskol Captain since it'll help your spirits more But all in all this deck is impressive. Covers a lot of weaknesses decks have and using soul tokens deals with both vampires and spirits decks.

I agree with you on the Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Townships. During play testing they've wound up as a dead cards most of the time so I -2 Gavony TownshipMTG Card: Gavony Townships and +2 Vault of the ArchangelMTG Card: Vault of the Archangels.

Blade SplicerMTG Card: Blade Splicer is mostly there for her token producing. With a Parallel LivesMTG Card: Parallel Lives and/or an Intangible VirtueMTG Card: Intangible Virtue out she can really swing the game in my favor. So she's gonna stay for now.

I love the idea of using Geist of Saint TraftMTG Card: Geist of Saint Traft, but I cant justify splashing blue just for him. I may have to build a new deck just to abuse him with Parallel LivesMTG Card: Parallel Lives though lol.

awesome name love motley crew :-) hopefully that was a reference to the rock band anyway! :-) I would maybe add some Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Ring at least in the side board for that scary creature that appears or something similar that just wrecks ya

April 17, 2012 10:24 a.m.

king kush says... #14

haha thanks dude. It wasn't a reference to the band, although Motley Crew is awesome lol. It was from the flavor text of Intangible VirtueMTG Card: Intangible Virtue.

so maybe swap the Celestial PurgeMTG Card: Celestial Purges for a few Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Rings?

This deck looks viable, and could possibly kick ass, in standard format I was looking to make something like this, great deck +1

April 17, 2012 6:02 p.m.

center66ljk says... #16

Gonna make this deck wish me luck!

April 17, 2012 9:31 p.m.

king kush says... #17

Awesome! Good luck dude.. Lemme know how it plays for ya.. I could use another perspective on things haha

April 17, 2012 11:18 p.m.

maiden77 says... #18

yea swapping out the purge is probably a good call i would say that you may only need 3 of the Vault of the ArchangelMTG Card: Vault of the Archangel too as more than 1 in play will b pointless as you will never activate both really. maybe increase the qty of one of the duals by 1 to improve mana bar that it looks really nice, surely avacyn restored will have loadsa shinies for you to add i want so much of it already lol

April 18, 2012 3:22 a.m.

king kush says... #19

Yupp there's plenty I want already lol.. i think Moonsilver SpearMTG Card: Moonsilver Spear will be effing amazing in this deck

Instead of running the 2nd Elspeth TirelMTG Card: Elspeth Tirel I ran a Garruk, Primal HunterMTG Card: Garruk, Primal Hunter. I'l see how it goes. Also running 2 Sunpetal GroveMTG Card: Sunpetal Grove and 2 Razorverge ThicketMTG Card: Razorverge Thicket

ScoutCpt1193 says... #21

You wouldn't have to add blue lands because of Birds of ParadiseMTG Card: Birds of Paradise.

April 21, 2012 9:50 a.m.

i have a similar parallel lives build and i run 2 and i would consider one or the other.

April 21, 2012 11:25 a.m.

king kush says... #23

thanks for reminding me of !

I'd much rather have flyer's

i also removed 3 Gather the TownsfolkMTG Card: Gather the Townsfolk and added 3 MortarpodMTG Card: Mortarpods after i realized the germ token reacts with both Parallel LivesMTG Card: Parallel Lives and Intangible VirtueMTG Card: Intangible Virtue

April 21, 2012 12:15 p.m.

I've noticed that games with token decks tend to take a while to finish, so you'll have plenty of time to cast fatties. I would highly consider BatterskullMTG Card: Batterskull as part of the deck, maybe in place of MortarpodMTG Card: Mortarpod. The life gain is just so crazy.

I wouldn't recommend CloudshiftMTG Card: Cloudshift though, or at least not more than maybe 2 copies. You won't want it in your hand if all of your creatures are tokens.

April 21, 2012 12:54 p.m.

center66ljk says... #25

Yes but the germ is a 0/0 as soon as its Parallel LivesMTG Card: Parallel Lives'd it'll just die lol.
