The graveyard is another part of my hand

Standard* Budget Tokens WU (Azorius)

Matador


Sideboard


Embalm/Eternalize creatures from the graveyard, use Anointed Procession to double up tokens, and use Aven Wind Guide and Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun to give tokens extra value.

What this deck does best is it's ability to recover from an slaughter of removal spells provided its not exile spells. This deck can also handle aggro decks really well due to many low drop creatures having 2 to 3 toughness. If the opponents does have creatures with power 3 or greater, then the deck will use removal spells designed to kill big creatures like Skywhaler's Shot and Dawn.

Some cool mini combos in this deck include an eternalized Adorned Pouncer and Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun. A 4/4 double striker token gets +1/+1 and unblockable which is 10 damage altogether.

Cards like Champion of Wits, Farm / Market and your opponents discard spells will make discarding cards worthwhile for the most part. Spending a card to get rid of card then bringing it back from the graveyard is straight card advantage.

Basically anything with Anointed Procession can double on embalm and eternalize creatures making the big hits in the deck like Angel of Sanctions and Glyph Keeper super devastating. Since Reflector Mage is banned, we don't have to worry about it flicking tokens off the battlefield.

Definitely do not underestimate Embalmer's Tools its like the Collected Company of the deck because the deck revolves around it. It makes embalming/eternalizeing/aftermath much easier to activate and milling your own deck without having to a spend cards to do so is amazing. You can have like 12 lands out and with the amount to stuff you mill to the graveyard, you will still not have enough mana to activate everything.

There is graveyard hate this time around yes, but its not Rest in Peace. Its easy to refill the graveyard with Embalmer's Tools after getting it wiped out from Scavenger Grounds which your opponent will have to go out of their way to do so. This deck doesn't depend on the graveyard to win, but its extra gravy (no pun intended) when it does. The graveyard is just another part of my hand.
