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
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:
Speak of the devil: LSV piloted the deck through a daily event and the video was posted just a few hours after this was published. I haven’t watched the new videos yet, but you can find them here: http://www.channelfireball.com/videos/channel-lsv-standard-de-with-jeskai-tokens/
Well, what is LSV doing when he got no Ascendancy out and enemy is playing playset of Anger of the Gods or Drown in Sorrow? 😉
