Back after a Vacation, bring on more tokens

I have been on a token trip for some time now. I just like the idea of tokens. On MTGO you never run out, that is nice. So again we have Parallel Lives to make our token just more..This time tokens come not from Mimic Vat, but from some of the more overlooked artifacts from SOM.

Here is the deck.
This is an artifact deck that has some cool fatties. It has some ramp with some casting cost reduction. I like both Semblance Anvil and Prototype Portal, but it costs card advantage. If you are able to play the Prototype Portal and get one activation you get the play advantage back, and each activation after that is play advantage, but people maindeck a lot of artifact hate, so sometimes you just lose out.






What's the Point?
Parallel Lives is the real finisher. Doubling tokens is what makes this cool. Check out the post HERE with Mimic Vat to see the potential havoc you can bring. The simple point is that decks that rely on spot removal have a problem, mass removal does a little bit better, but you recover very quickly if you have the token generation out.

Here is a game that was nice. Wurmcoil Engine under the Prototype Portal with two parallel lives.

This time I had Precursor Golem under the Portal with the doubling enchantment.


This one has the Pentavus, this makes for a lot of fun bringing the tokens on and off to block. Cool.....
Quicksilver Amulet helps get the fatties out early if you don't have the portal, but I think it should go for something else. Ok, I am up for some ideas to make this work better. Any thoughts?
