Any thoughts to running Gloaming Wisp instead of Temple Scribe? It doesn't draw immediately, but its a lot easier on the influence and also has flying. This also seems like the kind of deck that will be able to leverage Nightfall much better than the average opponent. Or are there too many 4+ cost cards?

Don't have heart of the vault what's a good substitute til I have those?
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31.6
i would add x2 arcanum monitor, 1 rally, and 1 alluring ember. I would also cut the seek power for a trail maker. makes your deck go a little lower to the ground while keeping the same tokens concept.

Thanks man

Congrats on being featured on the RNG Eternal tier list! I'm gonna try climbing with this deck next season. How would you recommend tweaking the deck for the ladder instead of tournaments? I saw you mention Crimson Firemaw and Flamestoker in some comments, but curious about the quantities of each and any other changes you'd make!
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31.6
Thanks Jakecard! This deck was tuned on ladder and the sideboard was tuned for tournament play. I haven't tinkered with too much other than the few suggestions i've had. I am currently working on testing reliquary raider in the main deck. It's a nice choice if you're planning on playing the mirror a lot (which has been happening on ladder). I'll also be streaming some tuning tomorrow night in preparation for the Eternal tournament series. Hope you can make it! twitch.tv/lolmagikarp

Ahh thanks dude! I'd love to check it out but I don't think I'll be near a computer tomorrow night :( followed for future streams though!

I really like this style of deck despite the prominence of strong board sweepers. What changes would you make to run this deck on ladder or casual?

Would you make any other changes? Slow looks attractive but I am not sure what to switch for it.
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31.6
hey thanks! Firemaw seems like a nice replacement for ladder. slow is a card that's INSANE in sideboards but pretty underwhelming for ladder due to decks like skycrag aggro being very popular. it's almost a dead card in those matchups unless you can hit something like a mortar.

flamestoker is an interesting card to potentially play as a 1 of on ladder. i could also see adding the fourth ember just for those "all in" games that this deck has sometimes (stay on 3-4 power and just smash with little dudes and rally).

Prometheus Edited Eternal Version: 1.31.6
I took your advice and the results have been great. The ability to dive under board sweepers and then regenerate the board the moment they sweep is lots of fun. I feel like Praxis Tokens has a better time fulfilling the aggro role in the current meta than Stonescar or Skycrag.
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31.6
Great to hear! I agree with your assessment as well. With this new season i've tried everything - tokens still seems like a great choice

Heh, played against this deck 3 times in ranked. Won each match. Harsh Rule followed by Amilli and/or Colony Matron. The weakness of this deck is a lack of removal. Any half decent token deck with some removal will beat this deck outright.
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31
Hi Nefarious! Thank you for the comment on the list that I played. comparing ladder and sideboarded matches is very different and if you look at my board i am playing 3 flamestoker to be able to be a little more resilient vs board wipes. slow is also very great vs harsh rule and it saved me once or twice. while ladder is a good indication of g1 matchups, sideboarded tournaments are a whole different ball game. Thanks!
BarefootFarmer Eternal Version: 1.31
What a sample size... Not sure what you are referring to as a "half decent token decks," but this is the most consistently powerful token strategy available. Yes maybe it has a bad matchup with another token deck running harsh rules, because of your element of surprise, but that deck doesn't really exist in the current meta.
Nefariousdolly Eternal Version: 1.31
Actually, I posted the deck that won against this deck 3x in ranked. It is named Beatdown. The biggest fault in this deck is removal. My statement still stands. Although we may define token decks much differently.
BarefootFarmer Eternal Version: 1.31
I'm not sure if you're calling your deck a token deck, but the deck you posted would be classified by most people as a midrange deck. Honestly the idea is pretty neat, and you'll win a lot of games mainly because people have no idea what you're playing. I fully support playing your own creation in ranked, it's more fun that way. However, your understanding of this praxis deck seems limited. This deck is a "proactive" aggro deck with a game-plan that plays out similarly every game. This is very different from a deck with lots of "reactive" and "situational" cards like removal, caltrops, inspire, and wanted poster. The lack of removal is what makes this deck strong, because you're never sitting there responding to your opponent. Instead you are maxing out your power every single turn. The deck you posted would have a terrible win-rate against this deck if your opponents simply played around harsh rule. I've been playing this deck in top 100 ranked most of the season and it's winrate against most midrange decks is very high.

Also, DrStein is the originator of this list. They top 8'd the weekly last week with the build that I based this list off of.
Aetherllama Eternal Version: 1.31
I think DrStein got the list from me, he just added Shogun of the Wastes and a sideboard. It looks like you have the right idea with your sideboard. Was Arcanum Monitor better than Shogun of the Wastes and Praxis Displacer in your testing? It tends to be an Unlock Potential that lasts for 1 turn and then dies to silence or spot removal.
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31
oh thanks aether! awesome deck. i cut the two shogun for the two monitor early in testing. I felt like it gave the deck a little more power when games go late instead of the one punch explosive potential of shogun. I shaved praxis displacer down to 1 for 1 more obliterate. they are effectively both good vs titan while oblit gives a little more reach and i feel like oblit is one of the most underrated cards currently.

1 seek power? Please explain....
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31
Hello :) It's a combination of what Vitalez said and the fact that the deck is surprisingly color hungry in the early, mid, and late game. needing double fire and time for a 1 drop warp had me shave something and just add that 1 of seek. it was a combination of wanting another way to fetch colors while not being "as" susceptible to effects like vara's favor.

It could be completely wrong, it just felt like a good inclusion after having some power issues throughout my testing on ladder during the week leading up to the tournament.

Vitalez Eternal Version: 1.31
I think, there are 1 seek power because of 3 Amber Acolyte
