Learn2Magic: White (Tokens)

(Update - Video has been slow in processing, and may not be available until later tonight. Thanks for your understanding!)

Hey everyone,

Welcome to another rendition of Learn2Magic; an episodic tutorial series aimed at new Magic players in the effort of helping them master the basics and get familiar with all of Magic's colours, as well as deck building and game play fundamentals.

Today I am looking at a token themed mono white deck. White is a very strong colour when it comes to "safety in numbers" as it does tokens very well. Also, white has some of the best token anthems that help to pump up your army from a bunch of measly 1/1's to a formidable march of impending death.



In this deck we focus on things that generate tokens as they come in to the battlefield or attack, as well as spells that generate tokens, and the anthems that pump them up. The idea is to overwhelm the opponent very early on, and give them very little importance of choice when it comes to targeted removal spells, as getting rid of one token still doesn't get rid of the army it was once a part of.

By doing so, we are not only just aggressive, but we are putting our opponent on the back foot - intimidating them by giving them little time or hope to make important decisions, and making them panic before eventually running them over with a horde of tokens.

Hope you enjoy :)
