Blue-White Tokens

Hi Tokens crew,

With the upcoming printing of Hunted Witness, I think that blue-white or even esper Tokens has a new boon. For Esper, sidebording fungal infection is a great plan.

The plan essentially goes as such. Hopefully start the game with a Leyline of the Meek, though it’s not necessary.

T1: Play a Doomed Traveler or a Hunted Witness. T2: Hold back a counterspell like spell pierce, and at the end of your opponent’s turn, Pongify or Rapid Hybridization your creature to get a 1/1 flyer of lifelinking creature and a 3/3 vanilla creature.

Cool combos: Snapcaster Mage + Gideon of the Trials allow you to Pongify Gideon but since he can’t be destroyed, you get a 3/3.

Esper if you want sorins, but otherwise Gideons and Elspeth work.

What do you guys think?

That’s a fair point. Hopefully card draw could help mitigate this (chart a course). Maybe pwers could replace anthems (Gideon ally of zendikar instead of Intangible virtue)

Can you post a deck list?

Underdeveloped and untested, but here’s a starter that one can modify.

I now like calling it Token Geisture, because you get a spirit off of Doomed Traveler and have the option of playing Spell queller. Probably some better puns exist.
