What dcarpntr said. That card is 100% brutal vs. tokens.

Ratchet Bomb cast at 0 destroys all tokens period.. the next best thing would be Illness in the Ranks or Pernicious Deed if this were a g/b deck

Ratchet Bomb for dealing with tokens directly or Demystify , Disenchant or Naturalize to deal with virtue itself depending on if this is standard or casual

looks like a standard deck, so ratchet bomb doesn't work. Bonfire of the Damned is a good one for the tokens, maybe try to fish virtue right out of their hand by adding Rakdos's Return in addition to Duress

@8vomit

Might I direct your attention to the Gatherer entry for Ratchet Bomb .

Ratchet Bomb's Gatherer Entry

Ratchet Bomb is Standard legal with M14's release.

@iiijonny23iii I'll point out just for reference, that Ratchet Bomb doesn't actually destroy all tokens. Just tokens that are put into play by effects that aren't copy effects.

The tokens created by Progenitor Mimic for example, will have the converted mana cost of the creature they are copies of, rather than '0' like the tokens created by Lingering Souls etc.

I think I'm going to swap out the 2 Mizzium Mortars in the side board for 2 Ratchet Bomb s. Mizzium Mortars is just to expensive to overload in my deck and i have better single target removal so thats my current thinking. Comments?

well copy token are certainly not going to be destroyed by ratchet bomb.. but I will help vs. a token based deck.. not all of those tokens will be copies im sure, unless it was a copy/populate

I would definitely run 4x Silence which will be standard legal... I think its a broken card but since youre running r/w.. it would be more of an early game control.
