When I say "best things," I'm talking casting Treasure Cruise with buyback, gaining life off your burn spells, and getting maximum value from every card you play. One of the ways I keep up most with the Standard metagame is through Jared Yost's column "Weekly Magic" over at Brainstorm Brewery.  Another thing I follow religiously are the videos Luis Scott-Vargas puts out at ChannelFireball.

So I was surprised to note when I read through Yost's column this week that the Jeskai Tokens deck piloted by LSV in a recent video on Channel Fireball was nowhere to be seen at the top tables last weekend. The deck looks remarkably powerful, so I would be surprised if it didn't start seeing more play. Lots of cool cards in this main deck:

LSV's Standard Jeskai Tokens

Creatures

3 Soulfire Grand Master
4 Monastery Mentor

Token Spells

4 Raise the Alarm
3 Hordeling Outburst

Other Spells

3 Lightning Strike
4 Stoke the Flames
1 Wild Slash
1 Jeskai Charm
4 Treasure Cruise
4 Jeskai Ascendancy
1 Outpost Siege
2 Gods Wiling
2 Valorous Stance

Lands

3 Temple of Triumph
3 Temple of Epiphany
4 Mystic Monastery
3 Battlefield Forge
1 Shivan Reef
3 Flooded Strand
2 Plains
2 Island
3 Mounain

I don't always think Standard decks look fun to play, but this one looks fun to play. Check out LSV piloting it through an MTGO event here:
