G/W Tokens has been killing it. Whether you are Gerry Thompson going 15-0 in the swiss of an SCG Open or Seth Manfield winning a Grand Prix packed with Hall of Famers, G/W Tokens has come to kick butt and chew bubble gum, (and it's all out of gum). The deck features efficient threats like Sylvan Advocate, but it rounds out its threat base with Planeswalkers and tokens. Archangel Avacyn allows the deck to play at instant speed and be aggressive or controlling. This is not only the deck to beat, this is the deck to play! If you aren’t on the Selesnya band wagon, you better hop on before it's too late!

Playing this deck is always a hoot. It has very good, versatile cards and the game plan is so flexible a lot of the time you don't know how you are going to win until you already have. The cards have so many different modes you don't actually have time to figure things out completely and are instead fumbling through the dark. Fortunately, you always win with this deck and that’s why it's so fun. You go through the motions, focus as best you can and bask in bewildered delight when you win your match. I have been saying it since the start of the season, play G/W! Do it now!
Until next week, GLHF friends. May you smite thy enemies with a Golden Axe!
