Mesapost, or my token deck, any suggestions?

[Gryphonclaw]

I recently put together an interesting token deck, tentatively named Mesapost, as it revolves around token generation,
I am thinking of playing it in an extended tournament.
(I don't have the decklist here, this is approximate)

Spells
3 Sacred Mesa
4 Pariah
4 Swords to plowshares
2 Worship
4 Seal of cleansing
1 Scour
3 Martyr's Cause
2 Congregate
2 Replenish
1 Enlightened Tutor
3 Wrath of god

Creatures
4 Wall of Glare
4 Mother of runes
1 Academy rector

Land
3 Kjeldoran Outposts
2 Remote Farm
17 Plains

I played it once in a group game and it did all right, would have done better except one guy played like 2 armageddons and 3 cataclysms.

I am thinking of splashing blue in for some countermagic.

Any suggestions? Is this deck casual enough or should I phase out some of the more cruel cards?

Cool deck!

I've been playing around with Sacred Mesa
a little myself. I'll have to give your deck
a try.

Here is the deck I've been playing. Its VERY
casual and will NOT compete very well against
highly tuned decks but its a lot of fun.

Sacred Enchantress
4 Rancor
4 Vineyard
4 Wild Growth
4 Yavimaya Enchantress
4 Argothian Enchantress
3 Exploration
1 Ancestral Mask

4 Auratog
4 Seal of Cleansing
2 Sacred Mesa
2 Flickering Ward

2 Femeref Enchantress

9 Forest
6 Plains
4 Savannah
2 Serra's Sanctum
1 Gaea's Cradle

Sacred Mesa is just great in this deck when
combined with the Sanctum.

Doing Auratog/Rancor things is some fun too
but you have to be careful not to deck your
self.

Thanx,
Caveman

Here is the current incarnation of the Pony Deck I keep babbling about. It started out a few years ago as a fun deck I made for my wife to play (she digs Pegasi, man ) but I had so much fun playing it myself I started carrying it around. It won an Extended tourney back then, and had a couple 2nd place finishes in type 2 store tourneys before Mirage left the environment, and I took it apart.

It lives on now, thanks to Apprentice...

//NAME: The Pony Deck

4 Sacred Mesa
4 Mana Flare
4 Wrath of God
3 Swords to Plowshares
3 Spirit Link
3 Incinerate
2 Earthquake
1 Hammer of Bogardan
1 Goblin Bombardment
2 Wildfire Emissary
2 Shivan Dragon
1 Energy Bolt
2 Disenchant
2 Enlightened Tutor

2 Marble Diamond
2 Fire Diamond
4 Plateau
2 Scabland
8 Plains
8 Mountain


SB: 2 Disenchant
SB: 1 Aura of Silence
SB: 3 Light of Day
SB: 2 Greater Realm of Preservation
SB: 3 Warmth
SB: 4 Pyroblast


Doubtless in a more competitive environment the anti-enchantment cards in the sideboard should probably be Scours now, and the Greater Realms and Warmths aren't as neccessary with fast red on the decline, though that's still it's toughest matchup. Story Circles would probably work better...

Waddya' think?

Ok, I revised it cause it was getting slaughtered by landkill and some other similar decks.
I splashed blue for countermagic as well.

So, same as above

minus the creatures and replenish, plus trimmed a few of the cards that I had 4 copies of.
Plus 4 soul wardens
Plus 4 counterspells, 2 dissipates, 2 memory lapses.

land is now
4 tundra
2 adarkar wastes
1 karoo
1 coral atoll
5 islands
9 plains

And I would like to do a sideboard, but I have so little knowledge of sideboards anything I would do would be useless.
