Happy to get the tokens, but does that art look a little too Innistrad-y to anybody else? (both the Autocrat and the token, but more the Autocrat)
Ulgrotha is the original horror-plane of the multiverse - with Vampires, Werewolves and monsters and a white-aligned church to oppose them.
Innistrad is Ulgrotha rebooted (similar aesthetics and flavor, but a new name since the old name is associated with a weak (power level) set despite the popular theme). Markov is the new Sengir, Thraben is the new Aysen etc.
With such a similar theme a similar aesthetic is no coincidence. Ulgrotha is Innistrad with Minotaurs and Mammoths...

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

I never noticed this before, but did they change the actual effect of the card? The original printing says to bury the tokens (with "bury" being an old simplification of "destroy + cannot be regenerated"). While tokens that die are exiled, wouldn't the original wording trigger cards that say "when a creature you control dies" while the new wording would not? Are the old ones considered to have errata text?

It's been like that since 6th Edition. Some weird things happened when they removed "bury" from the rules, and this card was errataed in to removing the tokens from the game. Flavour-wise, it makes sense. When the Autocrat dies the serfs are free. Sacrificing the tokens would be marginally more powerful (would trigger "when a creature dies" effects) but it's not a big deal.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
