GW Tokens is a midrange/aggressive deck used often during Scars block and Innistrad block standard. Tokens uses mana ramp, such as Birds of Paradise and Avacyn's Pilgrim, token-producing cards, such as Hero of Bladehold and Elspeth Tirel, and numerous pump effects, such as Mikaeus, the Lunarch, Gavony Township, and Overrun, to quickly overwhelm opponents.

Its win condition is simply making as many tokens as possible and pumping them with various cards.

Martin Juza made 1st place at GP Hiroshima in 2011 with this decklist:

After Dark Ascension made its debut, many tokens decks splashed black or replaced green entirely to play Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, Vault of the Archangel and Lingering Souls. Tom Valkeneers made the semifinals of GP Lille 2012 with his Wb list.
