Original Post:
Okay, so for some reason, I got an urge to build a token deck. A really strong urge. They printed some really strong token generators and one-time token effects lately, and so I went to work. I've been working on this all day. I did a search in MWS for "token" in the text box and searched for both black and white cards. I started with a list of about 40-50 different cards, and then trimmed it down. This is what I ended up with:

So obviously the deck isn't Tier 1 or anything, but it's definitely not for the casual forum. The deck was suprisingly good in the two games I played on MWS, going 2-0 against Affinity and 2-1 against a B/G Rock deck (the loss was due to a mull to 5 in game 2, drew only 2 lands all game, and only drew top heavy spells).

What I like about this deck is the Goblins-ish feel. The deck just... keeps... dropping... doods. It's funny how few decks can handle a constant stream of 1/1 tokens. Even against Deed and Maelstrom Pulse (which the B/G Rock deck had), I was able to just keep overloading my opponent.

I realize this deck has an atrocious combo matchup. I'm willing to accept that. Postboard, Leyline of Sanctity + Cabal Therapy isn't bad. The opponent isn't going to win with EtW vs me, just not gonna happen, and Leyline keeps Tendrils from hitting me. I realize they can bounce it, then I'm dead. The Therapy is nice with all the tokens. Against a combo deck, my goldfish isn't too bad though, so if they don't bounce the Leyline in time, I have a chance at winning. Bad matchup regardless, but I'm okay with that. There's plenty of blue in the format to keep combo in check.

Against aggro, aggro/control, and control, I'm pretty happy with the deck.

Sorin is my MVP, pumping out lifelinking tokens, but more importantly, giving me permanent Emblems. Hour of Reckoning is my other MVP. One-sided Wrath of God that doesn't touch my tokens? Sign me up!

My 1cc curve is bad, but I can't really think of a good way to fix that. There's not a whole lot that is synergistic with my gameplan in the 1cc slot.

I'm pretty happy with the maindeck overall, but the sideboard is just a throw-together. I considered a few options here, like Humility and Ajani Goldmane, but I'm not sure what the sideboard really needs with only 2 test games on MWS.

Oh, and this deck was a blast to play.

Feel free to toss out suggestions, guys.
