Deck Description

This deal know was designed to exploit the token playstyle by killing off your own tokens and getting bonuses for it!

How to Play

Get out a token spawned, a kill drainer, and anow Illness, the watch as your opponents' life total is sapped away. The more draining creatures, the better. This deck is also customisable for different features; like swapping in Dictate of Erebos as a board wipe or other creatures like Ob Nilixis to get more counters

Play around with it and see what you can come up with!

Deck discussion for Not Quite a Token Deck

Nice job! I love Assemble the Legion you get +1 just for that :D

So, you've decided to combine aristocrats, tokens and the "forbidden artist" without the forbidden eh? I really like the idea though I think the main problem is going to be how consistantly can you get a good Purphoros without being dead, or an artist/cutthroat to stay alive till turn 4 or 6 so that they start procing, or even draw a token generator, an artist and an Illness in the Ranks.

If you really want ot run Ob Nixilis, Unshackled I'd also run ghost quarter.

I think ob and Purphoros should go in favor of more early game, the 0/1s 1/1s and 2/2s aren't gonna hold against goyfs, finks and really anything that isn't a Bob or a Bop.

Yeah. I got a little too arrived away and don'the have my usual amount of removal. I need to tweak it. I have never built or played Aristocrats and never heard of Forbidden Artist. I just remembered Illness in the Ranks and was all like "HAHAHA HAHAHA, yes. I will build that." Ideas on cuts/replacements to improve consistency?

Well, firstly Bolt :D IT;s modern and there's red so in goes Bolt. Painful thruths is very often played in mardu decks, more early game (finks, lingering souls) though that is a bit of a nonbo in this deck) and removal. Once you have a fw early game cards and bolt the truths won't hurt at all due to you running 12 artists.

Now to make room for it.....
I could move Obama Nilixis and Purphoros to the SB and stick in more removal and lower the Falkenraths because they are 4 mana.

I'llc think about it some more.

You could go all in on the assemble/purphoros plan with blood artists. That would give you the room you need for 4 path, 4 bolt, 4 inquisition of kozilek, 3 thoughtseize, and 4 go for the throat/pyroclasm.
I mean, you'd still have the core of the deck,
3x Purphoros
4x Assemble
4x Blood Artist
4x Zulaport
3x Illness
4x bolt
4x path
4x inquisition
3x thoughtseize
4x go for the throat/pyrclasm/damnation/read the bones/painful truths.

The mardu plan is real.

i like the idea, but i feel like having an abusable sac outlet is strictly better than having your tokens die off right away. if it was me i'd put in a couple greater gargadons or nantuko husks. It feels more reliable and then when your gimmick gets shut down you still have a token backup. just my 2 cents.

The main reason I have tokens die off instantly is that sac mechanics can be removes really easily. People are less likely to stop ne when I kill off my own tokens like tbis. Until I play a life drainer.
Also, if I relied on a sac mechanic, then this would just be Aristocratz. Screw that!

If you splash green, the new emrakul's evangel is great for this kind of thing.
Descent of the dragons is nice also.

That would not work. The point is that the tokens die because they are 1/1 with an Illness in the Ranks out

I mean, decent of dragons would be nice if it was instant or gave the dragons haste. As it is now, its just not worth it. i mean, if your oppenet has sided in enchamntment removel, or is playing abrupt decay.

It is SB worthy at best in this deck. I don't know many people who would use Enchantment hate and most people would rather go after my creatures since the deck is virtually non existent without them

aye, it would 100% be an sb card. Its a pitty that draft doesnt allow the level of card i described, it being an auto win in most limited formats due to the board stalls, if were talking about power level, decent of dragons soutld be rare at best.

Hi, all! I now have a newer version of this concept that should be a bit more refined and overall better:
