Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This a modern B/W token deck. I'm actually playing on a budget so I can't afford the cost of fetchlands of zendikar. My question is : How can I make a good sideboard considering the meta?
This deck has been tested and works quite well, hope u guys like it :)
Any feedback appriciated :D

How to Play

Try to drop a doomed traveller turn 1. Turn 2 drop intangible virtue against slow decks. Against burn or rdw I would start with a token drop like gather the townsfolk.
I know bunch of ppl will say : you should add Brimasz : Can't afford the price unfortunatly! Maybe when the standard will rotate...
This deck has a bit of control with oblivion ring and path to exile so u can handle the big creatures of ur opponent!

Deck discussion for (HELP)B/W token modern BUDGET

I've been using a Spirit token deck in Modern from time to time, though I need to modify it as I'm using way too many 3 mana cards and not enough 2 mana cards. Take a look, maybe you could get a few ideas from it:

I'm not sure what your shop's meta is, so I'll just suggest random cards I think would be good in a sideboard:

I've been playing around with Pauper builds lately and I've found that having Dawn Charm in my sideboard has helped a lot. A fog; regen; and a (conditional) counter on one card is pretty cool.

Beckon Apparition is an option for going against graveyard based decks.

Zealous Persecution seems interesting, though I've not tested it in a match.

Batwing Brume is agood fog option against aggro.

Don't forget you're running black, so kill spells are a good idea too. In Modern, I like to run Go for the Throat mainbord, with Doom Blade sideboard.

I would run Dismember instead of Go for the Throat, anything you need to kill with Go in modern you can kill with dismember, it can be cast for 1 and 4 life which is a very beneficial option, and doesn't require you to have black mana like Go which is why I like it in this deck.

Added Dawn Charm to the sideboard, I like allround situational cards like this one. Same for zealous persecution. Dismember seems to be the best removal since I can play it without black mana. Thank you guys for your tip, I appreciate

Zealous Persecution was almost an auto include in the deck when delver was a major threat, but now that cruise is gone I would test with it. I would also consider discard spells like thoughtseize and inquisition of kozilek, these are spells that are really good if you are in black and should be used if you can afford them. Also is new sorin better than Sorin, Lord of Innistrad? Also Windbrisk Heights is insane in this deck. :3

Depends on what you want Sorin to do. Sorin, Solemn Visitor's +1 is awesome in a token deck, and people tend to forget that the pump last all the way through the opponent's turn too.

Right and that does combo with Intangible Virtue. I dunno I was considering this deck for modern a week ago and now it seems decent again, maybe you could consider a couple chalice of the void in sideboard? This card isn't nearly as good since Treasure Cruise is now banned and it hosed the decks running cruise, but it still seems very good in a format that will be rampant with 1 cmc spells (path to exile, bolt, thoughtseize and inquisition).

Well, i picked the new sorin because of his combo with intangible virtue. I would prefer havin duress/despise because of the price, but I agree with what you said. Same for chalice of the void, amazing card but way too expensive for me. Going to add 2/3 zealous persecution :)

Right and modern play does depend upon your budget sometimes, but you can also find cards that are decent replacements in the deck if needed; despise and duress are perfectly good for a deck like this and I believe Inquisition will be reprinted in MM2 so it may become a more reasonable card for your deck. :)

I know this is supposed to be budget but maybe a sword would be something to have. Flyers with protection, added power and triggers are pretty awesome seems worth having a sword of feasy and famine (one of the cheapest ones)

Yeah, it's actually a great card but it's so expensive, do u think it's worth it's price?

Honestly since we have Modern Masters 2015 right around the corner, I would wait to see if it gets reprinted, so it may be cheaper then. Since you are budget it may not be completely worth it right now, but if it is reprinted I would say 1-2 of it would be decent.

Sword of feast and famine was reprinted making it a lot cheaper (Modern Event Deck). I do think it's worth it. The sword is also usable in other decks as well. And it's just a one of.
