The obligatory token dump is out at the same time as the full set reveal. These 24 tokens and 2 emblems will appear in Draft and Set Boosters, and will appear in random back-to-back combinations in Collector Boosters. Note that these tokens are for both the main set, the box toppers, and the Set Booster exclusives.
We also have the breakdown for the double-sided tokens in the Commander precons. Note that each row of tokens presented here moving forward represents 1 double-faced token.
First off, the Legends' Legacy precon. While Bladewing, Deathless Tyrant wins the most dominant created token of the set, this is also the debut of the 2/2 Griffin token.

Finally, we have the Painbow precon. There are more Kavu in here than there are in the main set, and yet they're outnumbered by Snake tokens.
ok mark my words every single token in this set will be completely ignore and everyone focuses mostly on this one
And painbows more snake tokens than kavus
yea I know it does that’s because Xyris, the Writhing Storm is a reprint and the snakes swarm the board with him in play it’s almost a reverse the locust god he sees the opponents drawing
Yes, that is indeed Hello Kitty. As in, Hello Kitty is not a cat but a human girl in a cat costume.
Anyway, it somehow has this Eyes Wide Shut vibe. Some posh party. Upper Echelon. Where Xira Arien goes to. And then there's dark undercurrents and secrets that should not be uncovered. So many stories in one artwork!
Yeah, that insect token rocks. Granted, it doesn't really look like an insect ... but it has this really nice, spooky air around it, like it's an insect piloting a human "body suit." This kind of vibe is what you'd get if you mixed New Capenna with Innidstrad.
How many players will use the Ornithopter token over the actual card now? (I may do so)
Weird to get all these Commander set tokens in a Draft or Set booster though. Wish they would keep them separate and put them in Commander only product.

The artwork in the set is really amazing. I've been rather disappointed this year with the artwork, but Dominaria really redeemed wOTC. I'm pleasantly surprised with how many cards I really want from this set. It's great!
That Wurm token artwork is phenomenal!
Also seeing a lot of cards in the card image gallery that are wonderful
Commander exclusive cards and tokens need to be in COMMANDER exclusive products!!! Keep them out of Standard boosters WotC!!!

I'd rather that than five years down the line, the most expensive card from the set is the Sand Warrior token. Sometimes accessibility is important. I don't even think those tokens will show up all that much, with how token distribution tends to match the lowest rarity card that makes them. Anyone remember the prices on the 1/1 Shrine token?
I think thats a nod about Xira original card and if Xira was a wasp person or wearing a wasp-person costume, as the artist made Xira, the Golden Sting similar where it looks like she could be wearing a mask.

It's finally nice to have a visual representation of Sand Warriors. They missed the boat in Amonkhet to introduce the Sand creature type onto actual cards but I guess it's one of those "special" arrangements they have planned in the future.
That insect token art is so cute though.

Well, when Xira impregnated Kei Takahashi with her egg, he was described as slowly transforming into a human/eumidian hybrid, with elongated composite eyes and mandibles growing from his mouth. This is not exactly it, but it has similar vibes.
That's the same artist that gave Xira six arms+legs and the child seemingly four. What's up with that?
Similar as above. In the novel, the victim was turning into human-eumidian hybrid, not becoming a full eumidian (though it would probably end up in that way, if Tetsuo had not removed the larva from his body). This is a nod to the transition state, though I would imagine more of a hybrid and less of a kid-with-a-wasp-mask look.
it's amusing in a certain sickening way that certain cards have gotten banned from everywhere because the are controversial, but it's perfectly fine to talk about insect creatures laying eggs in humans and slowly transforming them to Brundlefly, or to depict a ton of spiders which must make it impossible for certain people to play the game because of intense arachnophobia...

Also, it looks like it's a child wearing a mask. (And why does it only have two arms?) It looks more like an alter than anything else.
Also really digging the merfolk token.

Insect token art by Mila Pesic. She said the art prompt was for a weird, but charming wasp child for the Xira, the Golden Sting token. Prints are available here.
