Standard White Token Deck (2013)
Deck Help forum
Posted on Jan. 12, 2013, 4:18 p.m. by ozerbus
Hey everyone! I am fairly new to magic, but I kind of like the play style of token decks. I made a deck that I found on the internet, here is the link: http://www.mtgdeckbuilder.net/Decks/ViewDeck/396976
I took out Sublime Angel and replaced her with Mikaeus, the Lunarch. Due to money restrictions and he seemed he could be stronger in some ways.
My first question is, how does this deck look? Any suggestions on replacements? I only won about 3/10 games with it, so I stopped using it.
My second question is, does anyone have any suggestions for a token deck? I want to stay standard, and I would like to keep within the realm of mostly white, with maybe some other color. But willing to switch entirely if the deck is much stronger than the one in the link.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you all soon!
P.S. If I can make some changes to the white deck in the link, I would rather do that then have to make an entirely new deck. If it is just too weak of a deck, then I will trash it. Thanks again!
Yeah I actually used that in my white deck simply because it can be used with 2 plains as well as the green. I have been trying to do my research on decks for Selesnya, but I can not seem find any. Maybe it is my lack of of experience in looking for decks online, or not knowing where to look, but if you happen to have a link to a populate deck, that would be great!
Did you happen to get a chance to check out the one I linked? I also would like experienced players to be able to look over that and see if it's strong or not.
Thanks for the help acbooster!

No problem, but I do find your lack of card:Commander's Authority to be...disturbing...lol. I once had two of these and a Growing Ranks out and was churning out tokens like nobody's business.

Haha. Well what are your suggestions on replacements for the white token deck? I think that's usually my biggest obstacle. Being new to the game, I fear replacing something a little to important to the stability of the deck.

I meant to say, what do you suggest replacing with for Commander's Authority? Also, any other tweaks I am very appreciate of.

Yeah, I'm somewhat new to deckbuilding, but through some miracle I always end up building somewhat effective decks. I'm honestly not sure what to replace, all of it seems like it would run well together. One of the problems I'm seeing is that the mana curve is on the higher side with a lot of 4-6 drops, and you have a smaller mana base than what I'm used to seeing. Seance isn't really being of much use in my eyes, but I think you'll need to talk to someone else about it. In the meantime I'll see what I can scrounge up as far as other possible builds go.

I appreciate it acbooster, thank you! Out of the 10 times I played, I never used seance. You think that would be the lightbulb of an idea in replacing that card, but it seemed like a strong card. I did notice my man was quite low, but I figured with a lot of cards that only cost between 1-3 land, it wouldn't be a huge deal. However, I did mulligan 3 times in a row in one game haha!
Recently my buddy that I usually play with, got ahold of the white/black intro deck. The Knight of Infamy is a nightmare for me, and my deck has no defense against him since all my cards are white...

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I almost always play multi-colored decks, so cards like Curse of Wizardry and card:Apostle's Blessing can't screw me over (as you can tell by the sets they're from, I mostly play casually).

Haha I can tell! That's why I think if I want to win at all during FNM or even just casually with my standard deck, I am going to need to mix in some white and possibly blue. Yet again, another combination I am unfamiliar with. I did however pick up an Azorius Aggro budget deck combination, but there are 3 cards I still need out of it (due to my local shortage). That is the Knight of Glory. I have 1 but the deck requires 4. I replaced it with 3 Guardians of Akrasa (I'm sorry, I do not know how to link cards on here.)
Here is the link to that deck. Maybe you can shed some light on that one as well. But it's not a token deck, I just wanted something a little stronger until I can figure out what to do with my token deck so it's a little more viable.

Might I suggest a populate deck? Selesnya has some pretty powerful cards running for it, such as Growing Ranks . I know that one worked pretty well with my Selesnya deck.
