me wants my color philosophy videos :3 still waiting for Dimir, Simic, Boros, and Orzhov D: and it'd be great to do the Shards of Alara for those as well to study the 3 color formats!
Dude, thanks for covering the deck! Makes the 9th place breakers have a lot less of a sting. As long as you're heading into a meta without a ton of Approach, this deck feels amazing, and a lot of fun.
This is great! I already have half the peaces in my current kitchen deck. This is great source, keep the techs coming Too bad my LGS didn't host standard very often.
Haven't gotten my mitts on Settel and Oketra yet, so have been using Angle and Dusk//Dawn instead. Obviously not as good, but it's been working pretty well.
Looks like a decent replacement for my rotated Aristocats deck! Nothing to tackle enchantments? Probably a good idea to sideboard Forsake the Worldly, Demystify, or Decommission.
I was the pilot to the 9th place finish in the classic. My Sideboard: 4 Duress 2 Lost Legacy 2 Regal Caracal 2 Forsake the Worldly 2 Cast Out 2 Fumigate 1 Kambal, Consul of Allocation
iamnotinsaneyet so that's duress and legacy for control and approach, forsake for any op flip Lands, vehicles and God pharaohs gift, cast out for planeswalkers and more fumigated against go-wide decks, but what's kambal for?
Deck is dope I only didn't like fumigate in my test and replaced it with Dusk/Dawn which is excellent against all the midrange strategies that dominate standard atm since it kills almost everything they have and leaves your stuff unaffected.
Hi Wedge! Great deck tech, I actually built the w/b aristocrats deck you did a while ago, so I have a lot of the pieces for this. I have a few questions. Is Master Trinketeer still good with only ten other servo producers? There are a lot of non servo tokens in the deck. Also, do you think angle of invention, inspired charge, or costly plunder work in this deck? What should I take out if they are? I'd love to hear your opinion.
Hi Wedge, what about a Solemnity WB or WBG deck? Solemnity in the mainboard will cripple any Energy deck or GB snake and you get to play with Ammit Eternal or Plague Belcher without having to put -1/-1 counters on them.
So how do we handle Sweltering Suns? Do we just bank on our enchantments allowing us to rebuild quickly and only being shields-down for a couple of turns?
I was thinking since G/B Snake lost some good pieces how about trying to make a Sultai or Abzan version of the deck? I'm currently trying to see if cards like Herald of secret streams and shapers of nature could work in sultai, or cards like oath of Ajani and solemn recruit could work when adding white. Thoughts?
I've always loved white black tokens. Man I wanna play this deck now! And I don't even play standard. If you had to throw together a Modern B/W token deck would anything from this list make it in? I feel like maybe anointer priest could replace Auriok champion in a Soul Sister's build since she's crazy expensive(until Iconic masters drops, and even then she might stay cheap). I would so love to see what a current day B/W token build would look like. The Modern Event Deck was a great deck and I loved mine, but even after I upgraded it it just doesn't have the oomph to deal with today's Modern Meta.
help pleease , i m very very noob playing magic if i have 3 tokens in the play + hiddeon , i can sacrificate 3 tokens , then scry 3. At the beginning of my end step, create 3 or one creature token? thanks for your helps pd: sorry for my english is ver worst.
Try making a blue black mill deck that lets you use milled creatures from your opponents graveyard. 2 scarab god, and 4 hostage taker make the standard mill deck look nuts.
I've been running something like this but it's been white red and blue. Locust god and pull from tomorrow. Also you should let people know that anointed procession double itself. With 2 out you create four tokens per. My first ixalan deck is mono white Dino/control, with the big finish being indestructible bellowing aegisaur and walking ballista. Haven't played fnm with yet, but I've been destroying my buddy's runamap red. I'd like to see your take on it.
No Exquisite archangel? I run a token deck in Magic duels and the angel is an allstar. creates 2 1/1/'s, pumps everything, and swings for 2 with lifelink in the air.
Hey Wedge, I have a few questions that I am asking all of the MTG players I follow online and really value your opinion. What does it mean for a deck to be competitive? Does the meaning of the term differ between formats? What is the cheapest “competitive” deck in the modern format in your opinion?
Hey Wedge, really like the deck but what about Dusk//Dawn instead of settle the wreckage? Dawn might not be relevant but Dusk is surely a 1 sided board wipe as short of a Shefet Dunes boost, all our creatures will be 1 and 2 power? Just wondering what you think - thanks :)
another interesting deck, thx for the ideas. one comment, ramunap red would scream for joy if they get tons of lands. they can sac desert for 2 damage. it makes a different
... u still need mana to activate the ability. i played ramunap red. there were plenty of time i wished i have eight lands so i can sac desert twice and just kill them. imagine if just just got ramp to 8 land and u have some desert out on the field. that's 4 damages. if u r playing it right, u should already dwindle ur opponent's lifepoint down so that it would be lethal anyway but you can't swing it in b/c their creature are huge in the late game or they obviously have blue gearhulk mana open.
However, if you are playing the Tokens deck correctly, you should be able to gain enough life that you don't automatically die to Ramunap Ruins. Furthermore, the "topdecking gas" problem can be solved if the Tokens player takes caution on their turn after playing Settle the Wreckage. You don't alpha swing against the Mono Red deck with umpteen Haste creatures. You leave back a few blockers back. That turn is usually the point where you stabilize and proceed to take over the game with your superior board. Granted, the Red player may still topdeck well, but it won't matter if you have infinite chump blockers and are gaining infinite life.
too bad ramunap red deck does not have any 4/4 flyer with haste or unblockable 2/1 and returnable 4/4 with haste ... oh wait. ANYWAY it does not matter. it's all speculation anyway. all i am saying is that giving red tons of land is not a good idea, which contradicted what Wedge recommended.
I will concede Glorybringer as an excellent topdeck, but Earthshaker Khenra only stops one token. The tokens deck is designed to almost always have more than one chump blocker and to make more than one every turn. As for giving Ramunap Red mana, I understand your reasoning, but the tokens deck doesn't care so long as it helps them survive the Red onslaught. Exiling some key attackers is the kind of tempo swing the tokens deck needs to pull ahead.
Wouldn't using duck/dawn be a better choice over fumigate? It's slightly cheaper, and given the low power of your creatures, it is almost a 1 sided board wipe.
Magnum Piorizanni not really, tokens wasn't a supported archetype in past standard, the only th by that rotates was Gideon ally of zendikar, but now we get more things to replace it, I think it was improved a lot
+PurplePandaProductions too soon to speculate about the go-to meta in the current state ? Everyone says red is becoming staple, Ixalan didn't change much of that... can new decks without that amount of aggression really rise now ?
I also miss angel of invention once you are able to drop this on a decently filled board it's gg and at worst it's a producer with lifelink and evasion
White/Black tokens. Zerg rush coming to life! Until a green deck black deck spamming -1/-1 counters and creatures with trample then it's just me feeling sad.
Seeing this make me think... how about insted of servos. We mage to create lots of vampires tokens... the we hit the crested sunmare to get a bunch of indestructible 5/5 horses everytime we gain life! Easy with lots of tokens with lifelink 😏 You guys think this is a good idea?
Take half of this deck and half of his booty deck and you get a deck idea I already came up with on tappedout. That just means I already thought it was cool before it was made.
Not only does Settle the Wreckage is good, now think of it this way, how many standard decks will run 5-10+ basics? If you know what you're dealing with, this can ruin your opponents in 2 ways, first if they start attacking you with 10+ creatures, you can exile them with this and most likely they don't have 10 basics in their deck...high competitive decks run few basics as possible unless you know, Mono Colored
Why is Caracal good against ramunap red? a 3/3 and two 1/1's are decent but not great blockers, just a stalling tactic really, and by the time you can pay 5 mana (since this deck has no ramp) you're already down to like 4 life.
I have been working on this deck since ixalan was being spoiled I still need suggestions, also IDK if I have enough support to make the deck to make the deck competitive. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ru-enigma-winds/
C Mac If that trampling creature comes too late, you're not dead to trample. Turn 5 you should have a LOT of tokens to trade with and ensure the trampler dies
Oketra also did work for me against tramplers both days. She eats a carnage tyrant, for example, and while Rhonas is annoying, that's what Contempt is for.
Voice is still recovering. Lots coming! Hope you enjoy the deck coverage :)
Hey Wedge! For the revel in riches deck you're making do W/B for annoited procession. You're welcome if you didn't think of it already.
TheManaSource WB Vampires is a deck I've been playing recently and I feel like it's strong. I'd love to see your guys' take on it
TheManaSource hey wedge what would be the full deck list??
TheManaSource Have you checked out Grixis Amulet? I would love to hear you talk up that deck.
me wants my color philosophy videos :3 still waiting for Dimir, Simic, Boros, and Orzhov D: and it'd be great to do the Shards of Alara for those as well to study the 3 color formats!
Dude, thanks for covering the deck! Makes the 9th place breakers have a lot less of a sting. As long as you're heading into a meta without a ton of Approach, this deck feels amazing, and a lot of fun.
This is great! I already have half the peaces in my current kitchen deck. This is great source, keep the techs coming
Too bad my LGS didn't host standard very often.
This is great. Makes me recall WB aggro back in RT Ravnica / Theros days.
dude, i literally just bought this deck a week and a half ago! well really close to it. Im so happy its doing good.
Well, Wedge, you might have convinced me to try standard again.
Standard is actually pretty diverse rn, if my LGS had Standard any day but Saturday I'd be playing weekly.
rampaging ferocidon
Ryder Hanson all my lgs is energy.
All my sideboard is is solemnity ;)
what if you could focus only on servos and thopter tokens? without the vampire and warrior.
Please do standard merfolks, id love to see how you brew it
You need to include angel of invention, highly underrated, but amazing in this deck
Haven't gotten my mitts on Settel and Oketra yet, so have been using Angle and Dusk//Dawn instead. Obviously not as good, but it's been working pretty well.
was thinking about the angel but what would you drop/replace
I'm pumped whenever I see your standard deck techs. Then i remember I'm so broke I can't even drive into the city to my lgs. Sigh
Love token decks, and hope i get around to testing this out!
Settle the Wreckage and especially Anointer Priest seem like definite sideboard cards.
I would love to see an explore deck tech!
Hey Wedge. Love your videos! Could you make a Balan EDH deck I'd love to see what you brew up.
What about adding marionette master? Throws in 3 servos and if you plan to sac your servos or use them as cannon fodder, your opponent takes a hit.
white/black is my jam
the deck looks super sick. I'm just waiting for my RG energy deck to rotate before I invest in another standard deck.
I literally had a deck like this...scrapped some of it to trade in for dinosaurs
Great Deck Tech Wedge!...Now if only you could do this for Cat Tribal... Abzan Kitties! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Legions Landing won me pre-release. Great card.
"Do you REALLY think they're going to care that they have ten lands now?" LOL
Did you test with the Abzan/Vraska version that Seth teched today? Thoughts on it compared to this?
That deck is complete garbage, honestly. Way too slow in testing versus most other even half-built Standard decks.
where can I find this?
Elemento th-cam.com/video/Z2SJtqbHGaU/w-d-xo.html
What about a sideboard? I am having trouble piecing it together maybe another fumigate or two and a noxious gear hulk...idk
Looks like a decent replacement for my rotated Aristocats deck! Nothing to tackle enchantments? Probably a good idea to sideboard Forsake the Worldly, Demystify, or Decommission.
MTG Unpacked I don't understand demystify. Why not just bring back erase?
Louise Drake Graveyard vs exile? Maybe there was some interaction with exiling enchantments?
I was the pilot to the 9th place finish in the classic. My Sideboard:
4 Duress
2 Lost Legacy
2 Regal Caracal
2 Forsake the Worldly
2 Cast Out
2 Fumigate
1 Kambal, Consul of Allocation
iamnotinsaneyet so that's duress and legacy for control and approach, forsake for any op flip Lands, vehicles and God pharaohs gift, cast out for planeswalkers and more fumigated against go-wide decks, but what's kambal for?
MTG Unpacked name me a decent card in standard that reanimates enchantments.
You came at a good time because that's what I'm building right now.
Deck is dope I only didn't like fumigate in my test and replaced it with Dusk/Dawn which is excellent against all the midrange strategies that dominate standard atm since it kills almost everything they have and leaves your stuff unaffected.
Why did wizards drop two blocks for standard instead of one? I know it's late for this question but I can't find the answer to it anywhere I look.
Hi Wedge! Great deck tech, I actually built the w/b aristocrats deck you did a while ago, so I have a lot of the pieces for this. I have a few questions. Is Master Trinketeer still good with only ten other servo producers? There are a lot of non servo tokens in the deck.

Fran Mendoza wow that s just brutal, cool idea
Can you do standard U/R mana burn control?
is there a reanimator style deck with Liliana Deaths majesty? use things like champion of wits or strategic planning to dump.
love token decks and this is an awesome deck teck..
This deck looks like sooooo much fun😄
So how do we handle Sweltering Suns? Do we just bank on our enchantments allowing us to rebuild quickly and only being shields-down for a couple of turns?
maybe think about "thief" mono red :-D makeshift munitions From ixalan, fling plus hijack, kari zev expertise, captivating crew.
If the enemy is playing little to no value creatures the deck flops hard since a good 1/3 of it would be dead draws.
I was thinking since G/B Snake lost some good pieces how about trying to make a Sultai or Abzan version of the deck? I'm currently trying to see if cards like Herald of secret streams and shapers of nature could work in sultai, or cards like oath of Ajani and solemn recruit could work when adding white. Thoughts?
silverfordston6ify sounds interesting, but if you want want really good advice, go ask Reddit, magic community there is huge and pretty helpful.
Can you make a Budget modern infect deck please?
I've always loved white black tokens. Man I wanna play this deck now! And I don't even play standard.
If you had to throw together a Modern B/W token deck would anything from this list make it in? I feel like maybe anointer priest could replace Auriok champion in a Soul Sister's build since she's crazy expensive(until Iconic masters drops, and even then she might stay cheap). I would so love to see what a current day B/W token build would look like. The Modern Event Deck was a great deck and I loved mine, but even after I upgraded it it just doesn't have the oomph to deal with today's Modern Meta.
Love it Wedge! Did you say this deck won at a Grand Prix recently?
help pleease , i m very very noob playing magic
if i have 3 tokens in the play + hiddeon , i can sacrificate 3 tokens , then scry 3.
At the beginning of my end step, create 3 or one creature token?
thanks for your helps
pd: sorry for my english is ver worst.

Can you please also have a link for it from mtgotraders? I would love to play these decks online.
Super worth it to run Call for Unity in this ^^
So I run a similar esper control deck eith mechanized production and tezzeret and I just make a ton of tokens and win.
No Exquisite archangel? I run a token deck in Magic duels and the angel is an allstar. creates 2 1/1/'s, pumps everything, and swings for 2 with lifelink in the air.
Would you consider the Crested Sunmare?
I have 2 ideas/requests for standard deck techs: U/B Pirates and W/R Dinos. I feel that both are going to be fairly strong.
Enrage Deck!! Please Wedge! 👏🏼
is splashing blue a goo idea here?
Vodka Wolverine I did to run aven wind guide
Hey Wedge, I have a few questions that I am asking all of the MTG players I follow online and really value your opinion. What does it mean for a deck to be competitive? Does the meaning of the term differ between formats? What is the cheapest “competitive” deck in the modern format in your opinion?
Can you do a dino combat tricks deck tech?
If I could make a request for a deck tech, could you make O-Kagachi spirit tribal EDH? And...possibly also attach a reasonable price tag to it?
I have a very similar deck, but mine runs more around servos and Marionette Master.
Hey Wedge, really like the deck but what about Dusk//Dawn instead of settle the wreckage? Dawn might not be relevant but Dusk is surely a 1 sided board wipe as short of a Shefet Dunes boost, all our creatures will be 1 and 2 power? Just wondering what you think - thanks :)
Maybe 1 angle of invention ?
Thats so acute
What about Dino Rage decks that deal damage to all creatures?
Donovan Simmons that s gg you lost
Favourable Thopters?
another interesting deck, thx for the ideas. one comment, ramunap red would scream for joy if they get tons of lands. they can sac desert for 2 damage. it makes a different
Chey Che Settle the Wreckage lets them search for BASIC lands. Thus, we don't give Ramunap Ruins any fuel.
... u still need mana to activate the ability. i played ramunap red. there were plenty of time i wished i have eight lands so i can sac desert twice and just kill them. imagine if just just got ramp to 8 land and u have some desert out on the field. that's 4 damages. if u r playing it right, u should already dwindle ur opponent's lifepoint down so that it would be lethal anyway but you can't swing it in b/c their creature are huge in the late game or they obviously have blue gearhulk mana open.

Ohhh, Wedge, you're tempting me to get into Standard. Whyyy would you do this to me.
Sideboard: Authority of the Consuls
I actually ran 0 in the board in the classic, choosing 2 Regal Caracal and 2 more Fumigate in that spot. Your Ramunap matchup is extremely favorable.
I would have one on the main
Wouldn't using duck/dawn be a better choice over fumigate? It's slightly cheaper, and given the low power of your creatures, it is almost a 1 sided board wipe.
Would you say the rotation wounded it a lot ?
Magnum Piorizanni not really, tokens wasn't a supported archetype in past standard, the only th by that rotates was Gideon ally of zendikar, but now we get more things to replace it, I think it was improved a lot
+PurplePandaProductions too soon to speculate about the go-to meta in the current state ? Everyone says red is becoming staple, Ixalan didn't change much of that... can new decks without that amount of aggression really rise now ?
Nice deck!
Looks like an abzan soul sisters would be pretty strong
Is this deck better or cat deck
Axis of Mortality Combo! Build it!
4:28 and it creates tokens by itself with embalm
5:03 never mind
0:46 Also the closest we'll get to Parallel Lives in standard.
I hope they bring back tribal spells in Rivals
I also miss angel of invention once you are able to drop this on a decently filled board it's gg and at worst it's a producer with lifelink and evasion
Yeah like this!
U/B Control deck tech next please I could send you mine and you could make a video on it. Thanks
so no cat tribal? :'(
Merfolk deck tech plz Wedge
But... what about Abzan Tokens?
I was literally brewing this this week...
White/Black tokens. Zerg rush coming to life! Until a green deck black deck spamming -1/-1 counters and creatures with trample then it's just me feeling sad.
I wanna see grixis amulet!
Well, good thing I made your aristocrats deck from last cycle. Lol
Neat!
Seeing this make me think... how about insted of servos. We mage to create lots of vampires tokens... the we hit the crested sunmare to get a bunch of indestructible 5/5 horses everytime we gain life! Easy with lots of tokens with lifelink 😏
You guys think this is a good idea?
Just got off of work and my back is killing me. This. Heal me. Please
Take half of this deck and half of his booty deck and you get a deck idea I already came up with on tappedout. That just means I already thought it was cool before it was made.
Isaac Agar been doing the same bro
Isaac Agar bloody hipsters...
That pop filter though.
I'm just going to sit here and keep telling myself my jeskai control is still valid
Please meak a orzhoz solemnity deck
Not only does Settle the Wreckage is good, now think of it this way, how many standard decks will run 5-10+ basics? If you know what you're dealing with, this can ruin your opponents in 2 ways, first if they start attacking you with 10+ creatures, you can exile them with this and most likely they don't have 10 basics in their deck...high competitive decks run few basics as possible unless you know, Mono Colored
Kiefer Baker I run b/g constrictor and have about 14 basics (I haven't found the right nonbasic base and attune with aether is good)
But at the same time your helping your opponent thin their deck so they have a better chance of getting gas instead of a dead land
guess I could turn the aristocrats deck of yours that I made into this :P
I LOVE TOKENS!!!!
Why is Caracal good against ramunap red? a 3/3 and two 1/1's are decent but not great blockers, just a stalling tactic really, and by the time you can pay 5 mana (since this deck has no ramp) you're already down to like 4 life.
I have been working on this deck since ixalan was being spoiled I still need suggestions, also IDK if I have enough support to make the deck to make the deck competitive. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ru-enigma-winds/
"A strictly worse version of a net deck" should of been the title
why no marionette master?
Wait, no enchantment removal in board? This deck folds entirely to a single Threspasser's Curse, not even talking multiples.
i like bontu for this deck instead of oketra
Cool deck but against any creature with trample you lose lol
C Mac If that trampling creature comes too late, you're not dead to trample. Turn 5 you should have a LOT of tokens to trade with and ensure the trampler dies
Oketra also did work for me against tramplers both days. She eats a carnage tyrant, for example, and while Rhonas is annoying, that's what Contempt is for.
Compound blocking dude
Dusk over fumigate.
Anointer Priest? More like Annoying Priest :D
Just bought a darksteel pack aether vial and mycosinth lattice YES LORD
