Creature - Spirit Soldier
Creature tokens you control get +1/+1.
2/3
I run B/W Tokens now and I run a full set of Honor of the Pures and Intangible Virtues. This is a deck I think will be strong post-rotation as it isn't losing much (and Ratchet Bomb is leaving), but I can't get over losing Honor of the Pure.
Is this guys good enough to be Intangible Virtue 5-8? I had fooled around with the idea of using Angel of Jubilation, but the 3 white on turn 4 might be hard. With the other big loss of the deck being Blade Splicer, I was also tossing around the idea of going Esper to have access to Drogskol Captain and maybe even Favorable Winds, and limiting the tokens to spirits only. Or can Phantom General get the job done? While his stats don't suggest standard playability, he does provide an immediate pump when he hits the board.
I think this is way better than Angel of Jubilation in token decks. The most important part is the easy mana cost. This also pumps everything you want to play. If I'll play tokens, I'll play this too
Other then the mana cost, Angel pumps the same as Phantom General as long as there aren't any worthwhile black tokens but it also pumps any creature cards that brought along tokens. In a bock with fixing galore, I bet you can hit 1www turn 4 consistantly with all the other important white cards and still have green and black for other things.

Well, I can agree to some extent, but I think there is lots of incentive to play 3-colour token decks, and in those lists Angel of Jubilation can't be played

This block is not going to reward those who choose "easy on the mana" versions of basically any effect.
I'd rather go Esper and get not only Drogskol Captain/Favorable Winds, but also Cackling Counterpart (ideally as Drogskol Captain 5-8). The mana is a little tricky for Esper since we don't have the Orzhov/Dimir lands yet, but this is the decklist I'm currently playing around with.
I'd welcome thoughts about the deck, but it seems to me that it would be quite powerful and consistent. Of course there is a significant amount of token hate out there, but I think something like this has a good chance of being a contender.
Personally I would go Bant. Granted at that point it becomes a pseudo token deck, abusing things like séance, cackling counterpart, and back from the brink with populate. You also get the oh so nice giest of st traft

It's a cute card, but remember that if someone plays a sweeper on you, you lose everything and start back at zero. At least with Virtue you're making them spend another card to get rid of it, and not starting so far behind after a massive board wipe.

I don't think BW tokens has any good spells besides Lingering Spirits. If you don't draw it you're kinda screwed.
