[SOI] Naya Abbey Tokens
Flip that Abbey!
This list has proven surprisingly robust against spells like Radiant Flames, Flaying Tendrils, and Kozilek's Return throughout my testing. It can reproduce tokens very quickly with Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Arlinn Kord, along with all of the other token producing elements.
However, the best way to get around the issue of boardwipes is Secure the Wastes.
Just wait until their end step and cast it for x=5 (which isnt that hard with things like Cryptolith Rite in play) and Voila! you have enough creatures to sac, and are out of range of their sorceries.
If they have white and use exile spells:
-1 Dwynen's Elite
-3 Vessel of Nascency
-2 Sylvan Scying
-2 Westvale Abbey
+2 Arlinn Kord
+4 Atarka's Command
+1 Cinder Glade
+1 Game Trail
With this setup, their exile spells will hardly get them any value and you can just try to overrun them with buff tokens.
When playing against black:
-3 Vessel of Nascency
+3 Natural State (to handle Virulent Plague or things like Sphinx's Tutelage)
Be mindful of black spells that might make you sacrifice Abbey. Try to keep some extra tokens alive just in case.
