Beat Downs with the Boz! - Standard W/G Tokens

Posted on May 5, 2017

A lot of people are talking and they are saying good things about . With Felidar Guardian banned, style decks are likely one of the bigger winners. With so many good cards in the Green and White colors, it is unclear how to build it and that leaves lots of room for brewing. This week, I have a bigger style of the deck that focuses on Planeswalkers and Westvale Abbey. Without going to crazy shenanigans like Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, the two most unbeatable ways to win are Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Ormendahl, Profane Prince. This is a dedicated token strategy with lots of ways to get multiple bodies and pressure your opponent, getting maximum value from both Gideon and Abbey.

Not the hottest run, but we managed to show the deck has good game against controlling strategies, though it might be weak to faster strategies in the format. I think we can fix some of this issue by playing some additional mana accelerants like Channeler Initiate and Servant of the Conduit. Another thing that can give the deck a little more bang for its buck is to play Verdurous Gearhulk, which has some amazing synergy with Walking Ballista. This would make the deck play out a lot more like the Winding Constrictor decks, but you would have more Planeswalkers, Westvale Abbey and sweepers in the sideboard to win the pseudo mirror. You can also ignore the token theme and build the deck closer to Mardu Vehicles, but slightly bigger to win that pseudo mirror. Below are my current best guesses for how to build each of these archetypes . . . and of course, you could always build a version dedicated to Always Watching and Exert creatures. So many choices!
