Welcome back everyone! Today we are going to play a tokens deck. Now, when you think of tokens you typically think of Green/White based decks, but today our token deck is Black/Red. I'm usually not a huge fan of Rakdos style decks but love this one because you have so many little decisions and every little point of damage matters so that you can just dome your opponent in the face with Stensia Uprising for seven or fourteen.
If you want to see even more matches with the deck, I highly recommend you follow my personal YouTube channel and/or my Twitch channel.
Let us go ahead and look at the decklist!

Almost everything in this deck makes a token in the form of treasure, humans, or blood. You can easily meet the requirements for Stensia Uprising. Like I mentioned earlier, you just nickel and dime your opponent. Sometimes that is enough but Uprising will also end the game out of nowhere quickly. Late game you have drains from the The Meathook Massacre or a very large Orcus, Prince of Undeath giving everything you bring back haste. Almost every creature Orcus brings back will also generate some value in treasure or blood tokens. The deck is very sweet and fun, I would highly recommend it!
That's it for today, thanks for reading/watching!
