Deck Notes
And here I thought Selesnya tokens were bad…this deck thrives on flooding the board with token artifacts. Between Treasure and Blood tokens, this deck has the card and mana advantage to overwhelm any opponent. Plus, with Blue Sun’s Twilight and Invoke Despair, it can dictate the opponent’s board state while fortifying its own. If the opponent DOES pull out some answers, there are tons of counters in the deck too. There really isn’t a slow-down button.
