W/B Tokens are eating me alive!

My G/W/B ramp deck, deck:viva-la-stompe has played very well in casual and competes with most decks in standard. However, I can't seem to find an answer for these W/B Tokens decks and while I've sideboarded Revoke Existence and other cards to help me stand a chance I never seem to draw them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)
ray of revelation, ratchet bomb, and corrosive gale are your best bets

Thanks! I will likely try adding Ratchet Bomb and maybe a 1 of Corrosive Gale. I worry about blowing up my own spirit tokens in the process, but when spirits and humans are coming at me faster than I can blink anything helps.

If you splash red, Blasphemous Act . Then combined with black Spiteful Shadows. Its a sweet combo. Also, Whipflare. Gideon Jura. Nevermore naming lingering souls. There's quite a bit of sideboard options.

Would have to board out my own Lingering Souls for Nevermore.

If you're losing to b/w tokens often in a way that makes you feel like you're staring at a wall of deathtouch creatures vigilancing you dead, I'd suggest trying out Paraselene. Against the common b/w tokens (ones that run around 12+ enchantments) a well timed Paraselene can grab you more advantage than Ratchet Bomb that will leave a more lasting effect than getting rid of their 1 or 2 card's worth of tokens. Also I hear it looks pretty good foil...

Yeah it wasn't so much the amount of creatures as it was them being 4/4 deathtouch lifelink by the time I could play anything relevant. I'll definitely consider it thanks!

A friend on mine actually gave me an amazing sideboard suggestion for B/W tokens that I will definitely be using. A Corrosive Gale
for 1 and 2 life will almost always wipe their field of those pesky Lingering Souls
tokens, or you can just pump more mana into it! It's usable in all colors, so it's extremely versatile.
