I'm glad I'm making a switch in decks when GTC comes out. This is going to make my Junk Tokens deck entirely unplayable at my locals. I already have enough trouble beating R/B aggro decks without them having a turn one answer for all my tokens until I actually get a Virtue online.
there is no card called "illness in the ranks" in the mtgsalvation spoiler.
Sure there is. Err...there will be. I don't know who's in charge of updating it, but I imagine they're typing as fast as they can. Give them time, man!
This hoses the Modern Exarch Twin deck pretty darn hard, as all its infinite creature tokens suddenly get either 0 power (Deceiver Exarch) or 0 toughness (Pestermite) with it out.
Hosing W/x Tokens and Lingering Souls isn't a bad deal, either, but it's a shame that it doesn't hose Twin Pod so well (combos off the most often with the 3/4 Restoration Angel).

I guess this was WotC's version of giving the finger to their accidental infinite combo. Makes me mad they had to kill token decks. I still think Bitterblossom gets unbanned in Modern because of this, I don't think I'm jumping the gun there.. It's not very narrow in Modern when it kills that deck and W/x Tokens. I believe it effects Lingering Jund as well? I'm not sure about that, as I don't know why they started running Souls in the first place(not sure if it's the lack of flying defense, or LS is highly played in Modern and that's their defense for it)
I like this card as I have a natural dislike of decks that repeatedly spam 1/1 tokens. It slows you down, but a dedicated token deck should still be able to push past it.

Uncommon
Enchantment
Creature tokens get -1/-1
Cards invalidates a number of token strategies for a low, low cost. This seems quite strong for a few sideboards.
I second this. I even googled the card and nothing comes up.

It's probably too narrow, so I hope I'm just overreacting here.

Feel free to tell me yours!
You can always disenchant it of course, but it's not like Selesnya tokens was running over everything.
On a break from Paper Magic.

Or maybe they thought tokens would be a LOT stronger than they are, which is even sadder.
