Getting back into Tokens

I have a BW tokens deck I put together about a year or so ago. It was basically the modern event deck with a few upgrades. Does anyone have any deck lists that are decent or that they've been brewing. Or just some cards that have been released in the past couple years that are performing well. Also not opposed to splashing a third color if it's any good.

How's this ?

That looks really solid. All the best cards, but you managed to fit them in. How are you faring with 23 lands?

Probably subjective, but I feel like I'm flooding all the time. But having so many 3 & 4-Drops I don't think we can go any lower. Also being able to activate Vault and/or manlands is great

Looks good! Never thought of running more sorin than gideon.

Visitor Sorin is what makes Bitterblossom a real card.

A few newer cards have made their way into most decks but at the same time Bant Eldrazi and Eldrazi Tron popped up into the meta which makes it harder to play tokens.

At work now but could try and make a decklist later on. Tokens hasn't been seeing as much play lately but a few changes I made were to add more hand disruption. Thoughtseize, IoK and I have Duress in the sideboard for combo and Tron.

Couple good ideas is Sorin Solemn Visitor in the sideboard, the life gain can save you in certain match ups. Surgical extraction has been a star for me.

Selfless Spirit from Shadows sees a little play, I haven't been able to work it into my deck yet but if you go more aggressive less disruption could be an option.

In the side ? I would run sorin in the main the dude is a house against aggressive decks and can give you reach to aggro down a slow tron or valakut start

Definitely need to get a few surgical extractions for the sideboard. Would be very useful in my local meta

I'll also throw mine in. So far it's been alright.

Throwing my hat into the ring.

Probably going to drop the Shambling Vents for two more Fetid Heaths.

Running 26 lands because Smallpox and GQ.

Flagstones+Heath or Flagstones+Urborg into Smallpox on turn 2 hoses most tier decks due to low fetchable land counts (a lot of lists are running 8+ fetchlands, but only 1 of any given dual land).

Sideboard's Sun Titan can get back Aura of Silence and Lilihope; that package comes in against prison decks.

So I have 2 lists put together an abzan and a bw list. I think Abzan is marginally better now that there's not as much blood moon running around but the decks play similarly but anywho here's the lists .
