Hello everybody!

Since we now have the Patreon exclusive tokens and since the Modern Essentials token set is in production too, it's time to come up with something fresh for the time after!


Here's what I'm thinking - a set of tokens for Commander! (Or EDH) 48 tokens, a nice custom box, designed to include all you need if you play the format. The only thing is I'm not really playing that format a lot these days so I figured I'd ask you guys for some advice!


What tokens would it need, and how many? Which ones are really special that should definitely be included? Any other suggestions? Any tokens I have yet to make that you've been meaning to point out to me anyways?


Also, which commanders that are played make tokens?


Any input you have is greatly appreciated! Thanks! :D

Hannes

I'd love some Nahiri tokens. So Kor soldiers would be awesome!

I would love an */* green elemental token for Marath.

Nahiri's sword, & Kor tokens, the emblems for Teferi, Ob & Daretti all come to mind. Maybe Saprolings and other tokens made by commanders from the precons?

I would like to see a 1/1 red, green, and white Sand Warrior token for Hazezon Tamar

Kobolds of Kher Keep.

johannesvoss

Awesome! Yes feel free to throw lists at me as well! :D The goal is to design all these tokens eventually :D

1/1 Red Goblins, 2/2 Blue Drake With Flying, 1/1 Green Elf. Those the ones that immediately stick out for me

I think that a lot of the tokens I use in EDH are covered in the Modern Essentials set. If you wanted to do something different for tokens, I know that I use a lot of exile/enchantment effects such as Oblivion Ring, Banishing Light, Fiend Hunter, and even Oubliette. So maybe cards to put on my opponents cards that are "trapped in exile" until my enchantment leaves play. That way we don't have to move the cards around the table and nobody loses track of anything.

Anonymous

Yes the "trapped in exile" are a great idea, but maybe have them numbered to remember which cards are trapped by which other if you play a deck with lots of exile. Other idea would be pw emblems those that exist are ugly, maybe something closer to a flag with a symbol that can be associated with the PW. But for the EDH I think that between modern and what ppl already called I only see the rats missing (pack rats)

Anonymous

Couldn't agree more with 'Trapped in Exile' :D

Also what about doing Planeswalkers emblems? you know, with no description, but just for example a 'Gideon, Ally of Zendikar' on it, and a cool drawing? xD

Boltless

The tokens for the wurm that turns into a fish that turns into a whale that turns into a kraken

A Pack Rat token that has the converted mana cost of 1B on it would be really nice. Another one I use is the X/X Artifact Horror creature for Phyrexian Rebirth. Also, you could do tokens with Tombstones or something in numeric order to show the number of times a Commander has died. Have one with one Tombstone and a +2 mana symbol, two tombstones and a +4, etc. That would go a long way as another play aid token for the format... I know that my friends would be jealous.

I always need a lot of 2/2 Zombies, 5/5 flying Demons, 2/2 flying Vampires, 0/1 Kobolds of Kher Keep, 4/4 flying Angels and 3/3 Elephants

Katelyn Gigante

Definitely Kobolds of Kher Keep (Because there's actually never been a printing of the tokens) Elf Druid tokens would also be nice.

Orikomi

Definitely some wolf tokens, either badass ones or some cute funny ones x3

Well, speaking just for my own decks, I'd love to finally have decent tokens for: Helm of Kaldra's 4/4 Kaldra Summoning Station's 2/2 Pinchers Wand of the Elements' 3/3 Elementals and 2/2 Flying Elementals Call the Skybreaker's 5/5 Flying Elemental Deathpact Angel's 1/1 Cleric (You know, I always thought the token was called Deathpact Cleric. I'm a little sad to discover it's just Cleric.) Feldon of the Third Path's Artifact copy token (Maybe it's a little weird to want a "Artifact Copy" token, but our usual tactic of just pulling the creature out of the graveyard to serve as its own token has lead to less savvy players forgetting the actual creature is still in the graveyard, or that the creature copy is additionally an Artificat, no matter how often I remind them. Having an "Artifact Copy" on the field instead (or, more likely, to put atop the graveyard while the creature card plays token) would go a long way to alleviate these memory issues) The thing about Commander tokens though is, while it's a good idea, the fact that Commander is such a casual format means all aside from the bog standard Soldiers and Spirits and such that we're already getting from Modern Essentials, even the weird tokens see play on a regular basis, so every group is going to have a completely different set of "essentials". Just thinking of the decks my group plays, the tokens we see on a regular basis include (though there's probably a couple I've forgotten): Talrand, Sky Summoner's 2/2 Flying Drake Pongify's 3/3 Ape Rapid Hybridization's 3/3 Frog Lizard Avenger of Zendikar's 0/1 Plants Myr Incubator's 1/1 Myr Nissa, Sage Animist's 4/4 Ashaya Sliver Queen's 1/1 Slivers Stangg's 3/4 Stangg Twin Hazezon Tamar's 1/1 Sand Warriors Dune-Brood Nephilim's 1/1 Sands (different from Sand Warriors, we swear!) Blade/Master/Maul/Sensor/Vital/Wing Splicer's 3/3 Golems Reef Worm's 3/3 Fish, 6/6 Whale, 9/9 Kraken Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII's 1/1 Citizens, Camarids, Thrulls, Goblins, and Saprolings Pentavus' 1/1 Flying Pentatite Tetravus's 1/1 Flying Tetravite Triskelavus's 1/1 Flying Triskelavite And, of course, 1/1 Squirrels Slightly less "token", but still useful, may be some kind of overlay for Nissa's animated lands, and for Olivia Voldaren's "becomes a vampire"? ..Wow this post kind of got out of hand, it started out with "Wand of the Elements and Call the Skybreaker Elementals!" and ended with me calling up the playgroup to ask what tokens everyone plays most. Sorry about that!

It would be cool to have one or two "Commander Damage" tokens similar to the Poison token. The next round of Commander products also introduces "experience counters" which might be worth considering. For actual creatures, I'd say your safest bet is to start with the premade decks and see what tokens the cards in there produce (i.e. Marath's elementals, Prossh's kobolds, Nahiri's kor soldier, Ob's demon, etc). Beyond that, there are some format staples, but they'd probably be a lot of the same tokens you've already released.

There's never been a Boris Devilboon's 1/1 Minor Demon token. Could also use a Marit Lage token too, as the real token for it is like $20.

Anonymous

Love this idea . Tho my commanders currently noyan so tokens with a pop out picture to put over lands that become 3/3 with haste. Dragon tokens with devour , kobolds and hippo tokens are also ones people never seem to have.

johannesvoss

Thank you so much for the input everybody! Please keep throwing ideas at me! :) I'll start designing more tokens in the meantime and then probably begin crafting a decklist for the set! :D

1/1 sliver tokens! I could I forget them? They are available but so ugly I always end up just putting dices instead.
