Topic: 3 Token Decks

I have constructed three 3-color Standard token decks with some ideas from the current RtR spoilers I think should be included upon rotation. Let me know what you guys like/dislike.

All three of these decks are Black White token decks with a 3rd color splash.

Chavest Tokens

The idea here is to combine the power of Hellrider with tokens to produce mass amounts of damage fast. To that end I also included Rally the Peasants, Bonfire of the Damned and Burn at the Stake for the red splash.

RtR Spoiler Choices:
- Rootborn Defenses (Bonfire and Supreme Verdict might see a lot of play, for token decks this may be a staple at least for the sideboard)
- Guttersnipe (token decks typically play quite a few instants/sorceries to produce their tokens. It could speed up the theme of the deck)
- Dreadbore (maybe)

Esper Tokens

This build focuses on producing tokens with flying as much as possible. This includes Geist of Saint Traft, Moorland Haunt, Midnight Haunting, and Lingering Souls. Delver of Secrets and Sublime Archangel were also included. The reason why is because of Favorable Winds. It is an Honor of the Pure for flying creatures. Also, with Drogskol Captain, the amount of creature buffs is higher than average for UW decks.

RtR Spoiler Choices:
- Rootborn Defenses
- Phantom General (maybe)

Junk Tokens

This build focuses on some combos. Using Rancor to boost and provide trample to the various creatures that get bigger with the more creatures you put out. To help with that I included Parallel Lives. I also added a little insurance to make sure my creatures can connect in the forms of Champion of Lambholt and Odric, Master Tactician. If my opponent's creatures become a problem, I added Prey Upon to solve that.

RtR Spoiler Choices:
- Rootborn Defenses
- Abrupt Decay (uncounterable removal)
- Wayfaring Temple (more fun with rancor than crusader of odric)
- Trostani, Selenya's Voice (life gain, populate)

Re: 3 Token Decks

Now that all of the RtR spoilers are out, the following are changes that I am making for Junk Tokens:

-1 Garruk, Primal Hunter (not needed, was in for card draw)
-1 Sublime Archangel (has weaknesses (chump blockers, spot removal))
-3 Crusader of Odric
-1 Plains

+3 Wayfaring Temple (Crusader of Odric with Populate)
+2 Trotani, Selenya's Voice (great life gain with cathar's crusade)
+1 Overgrown Tomb (more green now, more black mana could be useful)

Sideboard gets Rootborn Defenses.

I don't think any changes need to be made to the Esper Version

Re: 3 Token Decks

All have been updated for Return to Ravnica. The Junk Tokens changed a lot more than expected.
