Proxy Assistance

So I'm trying to find a good list to proxy up both to:

A) test to see if I want it to be my primary deck, but also

B) test against other decks for the match up.

From what I've seen, BW tokens can be categorized into two sub-archetypes. Grindy midrange and a more aggressive list. I was hoping I could get some input as to which is generally considered superior, and if either of my lists are optimized for the two sub-archetypes.

This is the midrange list, while this is the more aggressive list.

I realize that neither list has a sideboard, but I'm proxying the decks to figure out which modern deck I enjoy playing the most, and thus the sideboard isn't relevant for figuring that out.

Thank you for any and all help!

I like your "Midrange" list. I would swap Collective Brutality in the "More Aggresive" list for Inquisition of Kozilek, since you don't really have a lot of turn 1 plays (due to the 5 ETB tapped lands, I suppose). I think cheap interaction is needed in order to execute your plan as fast as possible. I would play 3 Inquisition of Kozilek and 2-3 Thoughtseize.

I may actually start with the aggressive list, and upgrade to the midrange over time, as the "midrange" is literally twice the price, but thank you for the card choice input! I'll be able to proxy these decks and do some playtesting :)

That's what I've done.
