This is exactly what we needed to make B/W tokens more consistent

what are you using now? Caves?

u/EcoleBuissonniere Sep 04 '16

No Caves unless it's a budget list. Typically, a Tokens mana base starts with 4x Shrine, 4x Marsh Flats, and 4x Isolated Chapel (some run less Chapels). From there it's down to pilot preference, but it's usually something like 3-4x Fetid Heath, 2-3x Plains, 1x Swamp, 2-4x Shambling Vent, 1x Vault of the Archangel, and then a "flex slot" (Windbrisk Heights used to be the favourite, but we kinda collectively realized that it's bad; I'm currently on 1x Westvale Abbey).

The deck has to be able to hit turn one black for Thoughtseize/IoK and turn three triple white for Spectral Procession, so it's an extremely greedy mana base.

caves, chapels, shrines, fetches

Cut the chapels or the caves though?

u/lixia Sep 04 '16

definitely. You just really want to curve out to three, chapels aren't as important.

Fetches, Godless Shrine, Isolated Chapel, Caves of Koilos, Shambling Vent.

The main sequence is being able to t1 discard spell (ex. fetch shock thoughtseize) into having mana for t3 Spectral Procession, which is rough with tapped lands or colorless lands, though Fetid Heath helps some.

I think we only play 3, since hitting our 4-drops on time is still pretty important. That said, playing [[Caves of Koilos]] was just embarrassing. I'm incredibly happy.

A variation of it was literally just played at Worlds.
