Golgari Charm is killing my Tokens
Deck Help forum

I've been real happy with the evolution of my Boros Token PreM14 deck. It has done OK in FNM and I am already tweaking for M14.
I have good protection against Supreme Verdict but I am struggling against cards like Golgari Charm where the -1/-1 clears the board. Any thoughts?
I am also weak against flying as I can't sacrifice my tokens in defense.
I would like to stay strictly Boros and the idea is flood with little tokens. Sacrifice a few to keep me alive until I can boost them all together for 1 giant attack.
Intangible Virtue might be an option, creature tokens get +1/+1 and vigilance. Phantom General also gives creature tokens +1/+1. Lingering Souls gives you the flying spirit tokens and Beckon Apparition also. Phantom General might be your best option as it's a rtr uncommon, and apparition, is a gtc common, which means they'll be playable past rotation. Remember because apparition has black in it, doesn't mean you can't play it, it's a b/w hybrid card, just need one white and also provides nice graveyard hate for reanimator and scavenge targets.

I planned to add Intangible Virtue but I am trying not to add anything so short term. Phantom General works but is a bit expensive especially since it is a creature and I worry about removal. For now I will just up my Glorious Charge and make my boosts per turn.
I've been avoiding the cost of Legion's Initiative but may have to break down and get some.
Lingering Souls is leaving Standard as well. I would have added some mana to support the flashback but it's a little late. I like Beckon Apparition and I need an option when Doomed Traveler drops out.

I'm assuming when you mean 'short term', you mean that Intangible Virtue
is cycling out in september.
Legion's Initiative is a good stand-in if you're doing boros tokens, and the price is steadily dropping, so you could easily pick up a playset for less than $10 eventually.

Legion's Initiative , Intangible Virtue and Angel of Jubilation all do pretty well in buffing your creatures. Cathars' Crusade might work but it's a bit on the high side for CMC
