Honestly you're best bet is to use cards that are going to be useful in many different situations and matchups like: Pithing Needle  , Austere Command 
Another good option to throw in there may be Story Circle 
Story circle won't work unless you plan on keeping a LOT of white mana up at all times.

You don't have to prevent all of it, just enough to stay alive 3 or so should be fine in most situations. However you are right it isn't ideal by any means.

I had wrath in my sb, and took it out because I agree it counter-acts with the deck, but b/w is a faster agro deck who's job is to lay all thier cards on the table and kill you before you can recover. Wrath stops that straight up. It may be a bad card, but I feel it's good enough Why is no one usng everlasting torment  ? Seems to me that it would shut down swans entirely, while actually serving another purpose. So what do peoples sbs look like rigt now if you're going to a ptq and and knowing the meta as it is now? I'm thinking 1 banefire(I have 1 mainboarded) 3 burretons(I have 1 mainboarded) 2 ajani goldmanes 3 windborn muse 3 wrath of god 3 guttural response I might remove the ajani for something else, as ajani is mainly for tokens to give me more ajani hate and now I'm running 3 wraths/windborns mainly for tokens. Any other thoughts? I might throw n everlasting torrments if swans really starts hitting the meta hard

Problem with story circle is, unless you have at least 10 white mana open your dead. The swans deck I played against, begins the combo and doesn't stop till he has at least half his deck drawn. So he may only have to ditch 10 lands, but I am sure he has more, when he is running a 42 card mana base

They won't have 20 lands in hand.
Story circle with 3-4 mana open will keep you alive, but you still have damage coming in from swans, bloodbraid, and Manlands that will likely kill you.
Story circle is really bad in this meta in general though.

this thread pretty much has died.
Do any of you think Boat Brew will make a recurrence? M10 is bringing some good stuff to the table, including a nice burn spell.

There's totally a thread here for RW Tokens discussion.
Umm, so I don't really frequent these forums any more, but I do blog for my website Greatplay.net.
