Engineered Plague for tokens.

Seems like an awesome sideboard choice for a measy black mana actually.
Additionally, you can even play it in your main deck when you choose some of the various cards that give tokens to your opponent: Forbidden Orchard, Hunted creatures, Genesis Chamber, and many more.

(...admittedly, Genesis Chamber might not be the best idea, since unfortunately it affects your tokens as well.)

Great sideboard card for black to deal with token decks. All tokens get -1/-1 for just one black mana? That's amazing value. It's more specialised than Curse of Death's Hold as it affects only tokens and applies to both players rather than opponent, but it only costs 1 as compared to 5, making it much, much more playable. Depending on how the game goes regarding the use of tokens over the next couple of years, this could become an essential card.

That's a nice Deceiver Exarch/Splinter Twin deck you've got there.

It'd be a shame if something were to ... happen ... to it.

How's that Assemble The Legion with 8 muster counters looking?

Wizards sure are subtle about their hate-cards in gatecrash - with card like this, Skullcrack and Glaring Spotlight

I find it particularly amusing that the art depicts a bunch of ill centaurs... Those populate decks really do go bonkers with the centaurs.

It also shrinks the Frog Lizards you may or may not be giving to your opponent. :D
