Every time I see yondar's name, it always makes me think of
Yolanda Vega. I still infatuated with his avatar though. A nut with feet! Who wudda thunk it?!?!
I wanted to take a stab at this thread. Based on my first post, I actually started down the enchantment route similar to Sl33p but since he posted a list already, I quickly switched gears and came up with this pile of janky token crap.

SwampSo it's an attrition token deck that aims to stall until it can create an overwhelming board presence.
Call for Unity is just a slow card and mainly here to conform to the Revolt requirement (7 total). Still, assuming you can grind your way to where this deck will win it's typical games, the card can actually get some use (as I posted already in this thread, Unity + Beyond + Stockpile is a slow engine in itself) and I actually wouldn't mind the 2nd copy for draw chance (although I would be just fine if this was the 2nd copy of
Oath of Ajani). There are a few outside ways to win like
Nantuko Husk but since I've recently removed
Key to the City, it's now more a stabilizer and Revolt trigger which is why it was cut back to 2 copies. This could probably even be
Yahenni, Undying Partisan which would have a slightly better synergy with
Winding Constrictor.
The deck lacks artifact removal (which is just poor building) and room should be found for something like
Fragmentize but we're attempting to lean on Unmaking, Push and the sorcery speed
Collective Effort. Although Anguished Unmaking covers a huge variety of situations, the life loss can be an issue because of how this deck works in the meta (why Harvester got the nod - aggro tech!).
The deck also has no draw effects (it did have
Key to the City for a while because of
Nantuko Husk which at least gave it something but it got cut) which can be problematic when trying to stabilize since we need gas to do so.
Tireless Tracker could be an option but things like
Read the Bones with life loss are issues. Since the deck is slow and can often rebuild better than most, I also wonder if things like
Yahenni's Expertise should be considered (stabilizing and advantage?)? Having said that, maybe the Key and Husk are still good alternative win conditions and should make it back in which would at least give the deck something to draw against.
There's also several double costed cards in a 3 color deck which makes the mana a nightmare. I'm still not happy with where it's at but it's playable atm.
Thoughts?
