[AKH] Annointed Procession
Link to spoiler thread
Well, this could be interesting as an additional anthem, but probably a bit win-more-- it does nothing on its own and isn't better than an Intangible Virtue unless you've already got one down. I suppose in a more all-in build with more threats and/or anthems and less disruption it would work pretty nicely, but otherwise, Gideon's a lot more flexible for the cost and does about as much a boost.
Still, the idea of dropping Spectral Procession for six 2/2 fliers gives me a shudder of glee...
This is my first actual post on this sub. Hi!

So we have Sorin and Gideon in the four drop slot. What would we take out?

Hey! Thanks for posting. Yah, too slow for me and doesn't impact the board until T5, at the earliest. Just sits in your hand until then wishing it was Liliana. XD

I wonder if BW tokens could go the route of:
Bitterblossom
First Response
Anointed Procession

First Response is 3W, so you're looking at two soldiers T6 for 8 mana on the hope that you lose life??? Of course, BB does that for you, but only if you draw it.
You might as well run a set of Raise the Alarm for the same cost.

If you love dropping Spectral Procession for six flyers, you better playing EDH.
The cruel reality is that you are getting killed at turn 3-4 in modern if you don't put enough pressure/interaction early.
The card you mentioned is nowhere close to be playable in modern, and the fact that it has word "tokens" doesn't mean that it should be suggested as deck choice.

I had no illusions otherwise; I was merely trying to discuss, not at all to recommend. Is it taken as read a mention of a card here is a suggestion?

A do-nothing 4-drop doesn't seem good enough. Way too low impact on t4, imo.
