This seems like a card that'll do something somewhere but I don't know what, exactly.

Aside from slot right into modern storm.

Baral seems awesome but is hurt by the fact that Standard counterspells are generally bad. You also need something like Jace to pitch additional copies to.

The only upside to this card over Bitterblossom seems to be that you can get the token at the end of your turn instead of having to roll around to your upkeep.

The exchange for this was two really bad red mythics in the set, from one and the other being anywhere between mediocre and really good.

I guess that's fine, though.

I think White Red or Mardu Aggro is going to be good. Good enough to beat the Marvel? I'm not sure.

It can play around it though, if it comes down against a tapped out red player and the revolt trigger goes off it will be a 3/3 by the time they can hit it. A double striker that can be a 3/3 that quickly without much work seems really good.

As a 2 of and not very many lists have been using it. Just been something new of late. Basically lists that have been doing both Gideon Ally and Solemn visitor. Honestly I don't like it.

I don't personally like adding another 3 cmc spell that produces non-flying tokens. The emblem benefits are good, but not game changing.

I agree with you in this assessment.

But I also don't play B/W Tokens, so what do I know?


But what I am saying is that Hidden Stocks is better than Oath of Gideon in the modern deck B/W Tokens.

And it Might be good enough to just see play in regular B/W Tokens.

Besides creating two tokens, my guess is that Oath of Gideon lets you get two emblems with Sorin, Lord of Innistrad without having to create a token first. And, it gives Gideon, Ally of Zendikar enough counters to make an emblem and stick around to generate tokens.
