Darksteel Plate , Swiftfoot Boots and even maybe Canopy Cover and Alpha Authority to help cover ghave's butt!

Yeah I think Swiftfoot Boots might be better than Lightning Greaves for him, cos Greaves means he can't put +1/+1 counters on himself. Might cut Rampaging Baloths or Ant Queen for Darksteel Plate .

It's hard for me to see what cards do what on my phone but I will come back when I get off work. I can already suggest Storm Herd , Grave Pact , Martyr's Bond , and possibly Ashnod's Altar . Maybe a few more board wipes?

I have Grave Pact , I want to put Martyr's Bond in but I don't have one and I do have two of those effects already. Storm Herd is good but feels redundant as I'd rather be making tokens with Ghave. Ashnod's Altar isn't in there just because I find it makes infinite combos too easy in this deck, which I don't really like.

Sorry. And I forgot Ashnod easily breaks Ghave. Sorry, again.

February 7, 2014 7:32 p.m.

Hey no worries! I'm happy for all suggestions! I really like Martyr's Bond, I'd forgotten about it. Might have to cut something for it.

February 7, 2014 7:44 p.m.

Especially cos it's not just creatures, as people often target my key enchantments in this deck.

I ran Martyr's over Butcher in my Orzhov EDH. It hits nonland and isn't a creature.

February 7, 2014 11:02 p.m.

Yeah I think ideally I'd like all three. It's such a powerful effect to have out in this deck, once I've got my engine running I can comfortably be saccing 17-18 creatures per turn.

Tooth and Nail wins games. Period. You should run it for sure :)

Would also recommend a Craterhoof Behemoth . Any token pump deck should run it. Plus him with Avenger of Zendikar = win. And you can tooth and nail them onto the field together :P

Eldrazi Monument . Yup.

You might look into the two other garruks. They are in my roon edh list. You might find some other green or white you would want in there too.

But, ignore my 20 combos with your meta :P

I wanted a Tooth and Nail but couldn't get ahold of one while I was making the deck. Craterhoof Behemoth would be good, I need more finishers, and trample would be super helpful. Any cuts to recommend for the other Garruks + that?

March 12, 2014 9:59 a.m.

I would personally take out Psychotrope Thallid , Necrogenesis , Ivy Lane Denizen , and Utopia Mycon .

I feel they might be a little slow acting. Ivy lane can be ok but the juniper ranger is better.

You should think about karametra as well. I forgot her full name she's in my roon as well.

Karametra, God of Harvests

Ramp is never a bad thing.

March 12, 2014 5:36 p.m.

Necrogenesis I can see, especially since I got a Scavenging Ooze . Ivy Lane Denizen I like just because it's a great engine but I could cut that. The Psychotrope Thallid and Utopia Mycon I think are both worth keeping. The Psychotrope Thallid is really useful for refilling my hand, which I can quite often play out quite quickly. The Utopia Mycon is perfect for fueling out plays when you're one or two mana short, plus it's very easy to make an infinite loop with something like Grave Pact out to sweep the opponents' field. The Spore Counter ability is really just fluff. I could cut Necrogenesis and Ivy Lane Denizen for Craterhoof Behemoth and Tooth and Nail for sure though.

Hello, I run a 5 color Token Gen Deck and found a few things to be very helpful when playing in my current meta. Recursion! Here is a couple of things that help me recover:

Volrath's Stronghold

Sword of Light and Shadow

Living Death - For when your opponent thinks the board wipe slowed you down

Cards I removed because they were too strong

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - Makes Tokens Fun!

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger - If you want to be a jerk in your meta

Ramp Options

Captain Sisay

Karametra, God of Harvests

I suggest to you Nath of the Gilt-Leaf and Sadistic Hypnotist . If you don't want to run both of them, then i would use the sadist over nath since that creature breaks ghave.

essence of the wild works good in a ghave token deck.....nice to put a 6/6 in for 1 mana , also works well with endrek sahr, master breeder.. earthcraft in this deck is ugly not to mention cathars' crusade....check out deck [count. on. it]
