Now continue reading :) I will add him in when he gets on the database (PS. He is a real card!released on 30th April...)

Ok Basically this came to me from one single card, Cenn's Enlistment. At first glance not a particularly strong card, two 1/1 tokens for 4 mana... Meh, but it had Retrace (lets you play it from graveyard), so I was thinking... Huge army of tokens? Hell yeah!

The idea behind this deck is a mixture of white weenie and a devour deck, without the big devour beats, I just keep the small tokens and creatures.

This is a remake of my old token deck which got mixed reviews... Also note I am trying to keep mana costs very low in this deck...

Card Explanations:

-::Creatures::-

Devoted Druid - A nice effect I thought, Tap for mana, and can do it multiple times in one turn.

Master Decoy - A cheap creature with some protection thrown in.

Icatian Crier - A cheap creature with token spawning abilities.

Kami of false hope - A cheap creature that can spare me damage in the long game or the short.

-::Enchantments::-

Arrest - Protection from enemy creatures.

-::Land::-

Forest - Pretty self-explanatory

Plains - Kinda needed...

-::Spells::-

Captured Sunlight - Most of my cards are cheap so with the cascade ability I can get out one of my cards (including this one) for a small price of 4 mana. Also helps provide some life gain for this tricky situations...

Kjeldoran War Cry - Can boost all my tokens by a nice amount... First of all they just get +1... but after 2 or 3 of these babies I can raise them by +4 or even +5 in the late game... how does 20 6/6 tokens attacking sound?

Niveous wisps - Very cheap creature protection, and I get to draw too boot!

Scatter The Seeds - With convoke on this I could summon three 1/1 tokens for 2 forest... Nice.

Sprout Swarm - At first sight a suckish card, but with convoke AND Buyback on this card I can summon a 1/1 token in my go for every forest I have, at most 12 tokens per turn...

Cenn's Enlistment - The card that inspired it all, with retrace throwin into its abilities I can keep spawning tokens till the oponent gets the message...

Explosive Vegetation - Possibly one of the best ways to get mana on your side of the field quickly...

Hour of Reckoning - A simple must have. It has convoke for starters which is perfect for a card like this, and then it kills all my oponents creaturs for 3 plains... and leaves my tokens unharmed!

Predatory Focus - Really the finisher for my deck. When I get bored I can just throw this down and bang... I win...

Im not too sure really...

I dont have any kithkin in this deck, so he wouldnt get the counters in the first place... Its a nice card but I would need to re-make into a kithkin themed token deck in order to use it...

Thanks for the review.

Hi5er, Cenn's Enlistment gives you kithkin tokens so it does fit into your deck.

thx for the info hi5er i need to look into that card you suggested with double strike for my creatures. this deck is pretty sick with the hour of reckoning, wondering if maybe theres an enchantment or a crad that continually puts tokens into play like every up keep like goblin assault for your deck. that would be a good addition.

Don't worry Hi5er we all make mistakes.

One other quick suggestion you need some sort of protection for your tokens cos there are a lot of ways for the opponent to get rid of them.

The rest is pretty much flawless. Looking forward to your next deck.

Already been said but Doubling season. Worship would be a decent addition, in my opinion. Darien, King of Kjeldor makes a decent amount of babies depending on your life total, but with Worship out is a pretty nasty combo. Take a look at Benalish Commnader and Stormfront Riders you may consider them useful. Take a look to my remarks from the decks of mine you commented on, i explained a few things.

ok Kamal thanks for your advice.

Lemme just explain a few things as well:

Doubling season - Too expensive

Glorious Anthem - Too expensive

I am on a tight budget and as much as I would love all these cards I have to settle for cheaper alternatives, instead of glorious anthem im considering leyline of the meak (all tokens get +1/+1).

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Sweet. Lots of thought going into this deck. Some cool cards, too. Maybe you should get some token flinging engines. Those are all in red, though. : (
