Star City has been doing a nice job of pumping out commonly-used tokens. Reading Mark Rosewater's latest article about Japanese token creatures inspiring those in Unglued, I go to thinking: Why doesn't the CPA launch a token line?
I'm gonna be drawing up some tokens. Nothing at all like the SCG tokens (my art skills are nowhere near that good, not in a hundred years!) but will look more like the better of my Fast Effect art. The thing I wonder is:
You can get pretty dragons, zombies and angels from SCG. You can get decent beasts, elephants and birds from the DCI. But what tokens do you wish were printed? What needs do your decks have that are unmet with token creatures?
Do you wish you had a Pentavite, a Wirefly, a Pest, a Camarid, a Serf, a Kelp Wall, a Hound, a Cobra, a Prism, a Hippo, a Maggot, a Deserter...? What stuff have you been looking for?
So far, I'm looking to make the Wirefly/Hornet/Wasp token and the Insect(Ant)/Pest token as two of my first ones.
To avoid interfering with WotC's copyright, they'll be unnamed and have no power/toughness displayed, much like the original Unglued tokens. This also helps to use tokens for different things. The Hornet can be a Wirefly or Wasp. The Cobra can also be a Poison Snake or Snake. etc.
In keeping with the awesome friendly atmosphere of CPA, I was thinking they could be a black & white sheet of nine assorted token critters in gif or jpg file, hopefully posted on the CPA for people to download, print, and cut out at their desire. No having to purchase anything. No cruel profit margin dominating the project.
What do y'all think?
