Whenever you gain life create a token

I tried to make a white budget token deck with something extra. That bonus is that you actually can gain pretty good amount of life. Even though I am sure, that there are quite similar decks, I was too lazy to check all of them, so sorry if I invented something you did earlier. The main point of this deck is that is to earn you some life while you lay out bunch of tokens especially flying spirits. This deck includes couple of useful combos as Suture Priest + plus any of token spells. It's also a great card against creature decks when you actually can just wait and block while your opponent is killing himself by putting out his creatures. Another nice combo with your tokens is the Twilight Drover which makes your tokens expandable. So you don't need to worry losing them by blocking. Mentor of the Meek is here to keep your hand full of important cards because draw a card for on mana is just cool.In most games you can just wait until you have enough creatures especially with flying like devinity of pride or spirit tokens boost them with Righteous Charge give them protection from color Brave the Elements you need and baaam! And even when this doesn't kill your opponent, the life gain and fact that your creatures don't need to tap Brave the Sands will hold you alive until you can strike again.

There are couple more combos I probably don't need to present as Ajani's Pridemate + Soul Warden etc.

I appreciate all of your comments because this is the first I made completely myself! Thanks guys I hope some of you will enjoy it!

In this deck you will be able to gain life using Thragtusk and then felidar sovereign to win. The main combo is to have Tamiyos emblem, Archaeomancer, and a Thragtusk on the battlefield then one displace/ghostly flicker in the graveyard and one in hand. Play the one in your hand on Archaeomancer and Thragtusk return the other displace to your hand and repeat this however many times you want, you will make beasts and gain life from the Thragtusk.

Is there any black or white cards that whenever opponent loses a life (or when I gain life) create a creature token?

I'm planning a combo with Corpse Knight and Impassioned Orator.

If so can you show me what set it is in. And if not can you tell me if there are any other combos I could use.

I cannot think of anything that combos with them for as many iterations as you want. There are a number of effects that create tokens once per turn based on gaining/losing life.

In standard (as both cards you mentioned are standard legal):
Regal Bloodlord
Resplendent Angel

Outside of standard, the best I can find is:
Crested Sunmare
Regna, the Redeemer
Angelic Accord
First Response

In general I think they are quite careful with this effect, and restrict it to happening once per turn specifically to not enable the combo that you're seeking.

There are a lot of cards that cause you to gain life for a creature entering the battlefield (examples: Angelic Chorus, Answered Prayers, Auriok Champion, Essence Warden, Ajani's Welcome, Soul's Attendant, Soul Warden). As a result, I seriously doubt Wizards would print a card that creates a token when you gain life. See this search for things that combo directly off of life gain.

Meanwhile, a lot of things cause life loss, (not the least of which being damage), so Wizards tends not to print things that trigger off of life loss. See this search for how few results there are.

So to do this, you're going to need a three card combo. Let's take a "when a creature enters the battlefield, gain life" as the first combo piece. Here are some options (it's pretty hard to stay within white/black on this one):

• Famished Paladin and Presence of Gond
• Searing Meditation and Polyraptor/Sprouting Phytohydra
• Well of Lost Dreams and Hoofprints of the Stag

Alternatively, you could just go for effects that make a bunch of tokens:

• Commander's Authority
• Bitterblossom
• Akroan Horse
• Creakwood Liege
• Endless Ranks of the Dead
• Storm Herd
• Assemble the Legion

PS - I will edit this later with link when I get home as currently at work.

The kind of strategy you are looking for is something that has been dubbed as an "aristocrat" deck.

The archetype relies on sacrificing your own creatures for value and is usually classified as aggressive. The original deck that did this was named aristocrats because two of its sacrifice outlets were Falkenrath Aristocrat and Cartel Aristocrat.

There is currently an Abzan version in standard as of M20 being released. Not sure how good this deck really is as I haven't tried but worth having a look at it.

Will post link and decklist later.

I am currently making a really cheap budget deck in black/withe zombie token summoning. here's the link

It is based on Reassembling skeleton and Ravenous harpy combo associated with some open the graves to spawn zombie tokens. Teysa Karlov doubles that number.

Then Vizier of the scorpion gives them deathtoutch while Graph harvest gives them menace.

I do not see why you can't make that deck with the cards you mentioned before.

You must log in to answer this question.

Do you own tokens you create?

When creature dies do they create treasure tokens?

Does creating a token count as entering the battlefield?

When you gain life draw that many cards?
