Standard Tokens

Standard forum

Hey there. So I'm a returning player, and I want to play white tokens. My question is, which second colour is most useful in the current standard? I pulled a Nissa the other day and I want to use her, plus green has hornet queen, who looks super viable in a token deck, but I feel like I'll suffer for not having access to the control elements of black. Thoughtseize and Stain The Mind are both great, and there's some other interesting options in black as well.

So, which has the most game in standard right now? G/W tokens or G/B tokens??

Red White tokens seems a lot better. I don't think there is enough support in the current format for a grindy token deck to be viable, so you probably want to get aggressive.

There was an interesting soldier/token deck that had a deck tech at the Pro Tour called no limit soldiers if you want to check that out.

By G/B tokens I do of course mean W/B.... Typos aside, I did consider red. Burn is always fun to have on hand. Thanks for the input

Being able to Chord of Calling for a Hornet Queen is one the funnest things though.

I put together a W/G tokens list (I seriously considered Red but settled on Green in the end. Dat Nissa.) if anyone has any suggestions to, you know, make it good, I would be very grateful. W/G Tokens (That don't rotate out in September)
