B/W Tokens is a deck which premiered at Worlds 2008 and ended up being the second most played Standard deck. The strategy of the deck is purely aggro, as it aims to win by generating large armies of tokens via Bitterblossom, Spectral Procession, Cloudgoat Ranger, and Marsh Flitter. Despite not making the Top 8, the deck is still considered to be a major contender in the Standard environment.
Sample decklist, as suggested by Luis Scott-Vargas (1st Place PT: Berlin, 1st place GP: LA):

Combined with cards from the Innistrad expansion such as Midnight Haunting and Intangible Virtue, as well as Honor of the Pure from Magic 2012, the deck remains a popular <URL=http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Tier#Tier>Tier 2</URL> choice in the Standard metagame.
