Green/White Token and Orzhov

Hello,

I play casually with a group of friends and after the last few sets have came and now Ravnica is coming, I'd like to update my few decks (5, but the 5th is just really bad) and I've posted 2 so far: My Green/White Token and an immensly revamped version of my Black/White Token, which I'm editing to be far closer to an Orzhov aggro. Anyway, I'm just looking for all the advice I can get, mostly on the Green/White, which has always been my favorite to play.

Note: I made this forum post long after posting the deck because being the genius I am, it took me like days to figure out the accounts weren't linked to each other.

G/W Token:

I will not be updating the Green/White printed until RtR comes out as that will contain Selensya, but its always nice to have a wishlist and knowledge of how the deck is developing in theory if not in printed cards.

Orzhov (interested, but far more interested in the G/W)

Your green deck isn't really focussed on tokens making all the token specific cards pretty bad.


here's a rebuild

4 Steppe Linx
2 Loam Lion
2 Kitchen Finks
2 Wilt-Leaf Liege
1 Dauntless Escort
4 Qasali Pridemage
1 Cloudgoat Ranger

4 Rancor
3 Spectral Procession

2 Garruk Wildspeaker

2 Mirror Entity
4 Strangleroot Geist
4 Birds of Paradise

3 Harm's Way

22 Land

here's the build in an editor where you can see the mana curve

I choose Harm's Way instead of path to exile so you would not accelerate your opponent. It's your call, if path is better against the decks you play against take path.

I use Path to Exile a few times on my own cards for my own acceleration in those games where you just need that 1 last mana. I replaced Gaea's Anthem with Honor of the Pure and sort of made the deck far far closer to white weenie than what its posted as.

I entirely forgot about this forum post after like 2 days of waiting and started playtesting the deck a lot by driving it closer to being white weenie / token with stuff like Hero of Bladehold, doomed traveler, and found I enjoyed playing it significantly more than the half and half deck I posted.

You went and built the deck by moving it toward the other half, which I have no doubt that it would do much better than mine, its not the direction I was hoping to take it.

I kind of half-updated the deck a while ago as a lot of it i'm still testing to make it more white weenie splashed with some green (essentially just because of stirring wildwood, who has saved me games, and overrun).


Sorry for not updating the deck or this forum post when I started moving the deck to white weenie, and I will try out your own suggestions and see if it does better than the current version (that is not on the vault). I'll update the MTGvault deck once I finish playtesting it some more.

I also really like the mirror entity...i'd never seen it before.
