[Opinions] U/W Human Token deck: Improvements.

You've built a deck which sits an interesting fence, tokens are an aggro strategy, yet you've splashed blue for control, my advice: drop blue, go mono-white, also you need to decide if you want to go white weenie or white humans, white weenie would say drop the CoPs and pick up more token cards, Intangible Virtue, Lingering Souls, Timely Reinforcements, stuff along those lines, if you want to go humans then you should add some Silverblades and Nearheath Pilgrims along with probably dropping the elite vanguard\s, they're not as good as they seem, if you want to splash a color you've got tons of  options, you could keep the blue but not use any of the cards you're currently using, adding control to aggro does not work, you could however add Wingcrafter, vapor snag/unsummon and if you're going tokens and add a bunch of token creating spells I'd add delvers. if you add green Rancor is an option for humans, not really for tokens though, and Champion of Lambholt is a pretty good option either way. For red there's not much Hero of Oxid Ridge is a decent choice even if it is rotating, Reckless Waif is decent, but doesn't really fit the deck I'd rather use Somberwald Vigilante than Elite Vanguard anyday, don't bother with black if you're staying in humans, if you go for tokens then it's like a requirement, if nothing else just so you can flashback lingering souls

Hope some of that helps

That is an interesting idea. However I would probably try moving towards GW Token Humans

Reasons
- Champion of Lambholt is amazing with tokens

- Access to Rancor (synergy with Champion of Lambholt, Wayfaring Temple (RtR), and Wild Beastmaster (RtR))

- Champion of Lambholt is not restricted to human creatures, unlike Champion of the Parish. This means you have access to more than just Gather the Townsfolk, Thraben Doomsayer and Increasing Devotion for token production

- Access to Mayor of Avabruck, Gavony Township, and Parallel Lives (sure to see more play since GW tokens will be more common)

- I'm sure that even more support will be announced for RtR soon

If you really want to play UW Humans, you have less token production by focusing on human tokens. The upside is that most of your tokens will have flying by not focusing on human tokens: Midnight Haunting, Moorland Haunt, Doomed Traveler, Geist of Saint Traft

EDIT: Here is a rough draft I put together in about 30 minutes. I didn't really test it, but it seems solid enough. And like I said, more support is sure to be released.

Abrupt Decay is looking to be a little spendy (about $15 each), so from my current list I would recommend -3 Abrupt Decay and +2 Blood Artist, +1 Midnight Haunting for people with tighter budgets.

From what I have seen, Blood Artist is amazing. It makes your opponent think twice about casting things with Wrath effects, which is pretty good for token decks. Because of an increase in token support, I expect we'll see more Wrath effects once Boros returns.

Another thing to consider would be Sublime Archangel
