Games can go really long and we need ways to stabilize and turn the corner once we get an advantage. Fatal Push is not only for little things but since the deck is quite good in triggering revolt with Renegade Map and Evolving Wilds, you can actually have Golden Guardian fight a 1/1 Vampire token from Legion’s Landing (gain the 1 life), then Push it to flip. There’s no point not running the usual removal suite which Token decks already use. It can fight a 1/1 servo, win it, then you can sacrifice it to Hidden Stockpile and the trigger will still happen which flips it into Gold-Forge Garrison. Key point to take note off is that Golden Guardian does not need to lose the fight in order for it to die. A 4/4 for 4 mana that flips into a 4/4 generator is a great card but because it needs to fight and die, we need to build around it. The lack of creatures in my build essentially mutes my opponent’s removal in game 1 unless they decide to get rid of Anointer Priest for more embalming action later.īut what I really like to to jam Golden Guardian into the equation and potentially have the ability to churn multiple golems thanks to Anointed Procession. I initially built my tokens deck by replacing Regal Caracal and Sunscourge Champion with Underhanded Designs which allows me to train my opponent every end step when Hidden Stockpile dumps a bunch of servos into the battlefield. It is also self sustaining because it leaves behind a 1/1 servo you can use to block, or sacrifice later to trigger revolt and scry to find Anointed Procession or answers depending on the board state. The deck plays a lot of sacrificial permanents like Renegade Map, Evolving Wilds, Ifnir Deadlands, Shefet Dunes and multiple copies of Legion’s Landing to trigger its legendary mechanic guarantees that Hidden Stockpile’s revolt trigger will always kick in at your end step. Hidden Stockpile is the main cog in the token’s engine and Anointed Procession is what shifts it to high gear. BW and Abzan tokens are the most successful go-wide strategy in standard as of late and much to their success is the crazy synergy that the deck plays. It’s Saturday morning and I picked up an idea while I was taking my BW tokens deck apart.
