Deck Description

This deck consistently wins. I second placed a GP trial with it last week, and even when it does lose it is so much fun to play.

How to Play

The big idea is relatively simple: make big flyers. Besides mid game restoration angels and late game thundermaw hellkites most tier one decks don't have much to stop flying right now. Board wipes are a problem, but thanks to the boosting enchantments, flashing back a lingering souls could be enough to finish the game.
Ideal play:
Turn 1: Shock Land tapped
Turn 2: Land, then intangible virtue or favorable winds (virtue is better to get vigilance online)
Turn 3: Land, then main phase Lingering Souls or midnight haunt on their turn.
From there play as you need. Snapcasters can bring a late game midnight haunting or make 1 ultimate price into two. Augur Of Bolas is a great help when you get flooded on enchantments but don't have the instants or sorceries you need. Don't be afraid to delay flashback of lingering souls to get around board wipes, unless your opponent is running graveyard hate (which is extremely popular right now). In these match ups side out the lingering souls, augurs and snapcasters for 2 entreat the angels, 2 blind obedience, 2 obzedat, 2 oblivion rings.
Final Note: DO NOT underestimate the power of vault of the archangel. It will save your life, quite literally.

Hm.. You have enough Instants or Sorcieres, you might consider adding Talrand to add to your token generation.

Please write-up a How to play for this. For returning players like myself, I have not a clue what sort of mechanic your using here. Token decks to me are Squirrels, Thalids and Thrulls.
