Solid looking art for these tokens. I like the Illusion squids a lot. I am def happy to see different zombie art, that's always appreciated. I love how Orzhov spirits are basically Dementors now. I enjoy the Azorius thoper, it's nice to see how just a little bit of flavor can make it feel different from other planes' thopters. Finally, I will take all the Orzhov Treasures I can get.
I like a number of these. The zombie, goblin, illusion, and spirit are particularly nice. Having tons of foil goblin, zombie, beast, and thopter tokens, though, I wouldn't "downgrade" to non-foil tokens for these.
That's one cool looking thopter. Sleek design! Might be my favourite right after the blue Esper thopters from Alara.
The illusion squids are adorable.
I wish the classless human token was a "citizen" with a few AW variations. It would make sense on an urban plane like Ravnica. Also, I think I'll just never be able to see humans as a legitimate "tribe", even in a fantasy world with lots of other sentient species...
I think the Ooze being 2/2 means the card it comes from is going to "split" in some way (or it's created with a "P/T-fixed" version of an Ooze Flux effect).

I don't like zombies that hold swords like they know what they're doing. I know there have been zombies in the past that have swords but they still look enough like the lurching brainless that you might think they kinda lucked into grasping something useful. This one looks like it's calling out a duel challenge.
Why does the Mythic octopus create illusions of cuttlefish?
Well, they're Illusions, they don't have to be accurate. Maybe the hypnotized/mesmerized person doesn't know better and thinks cuttlefish are baby octopi.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Well, there has been said (in Ravnica Art Book I think) that the Erstwhile are like more "intelligent" and much more durable zombies.

"Here, have a W."
"...can I eat it?"
"No."
"Trade it?"
"No."
"Play games with it?"
"Mm, depends."

I don't like Orzhov Spirit at all, it looks like a faerie.
And yes, the Orzhov Treasure looks like Hanukkah gelt. This Jewish-American boy is recalling warm childhood memories now.

In fact, the zombie and goblin are my favorite of their kind.
The illusion squids are adorable.

Can't determine the gender of the human token, but it definitely looks like it's about to break out some awesome parkour moves.

They seem well-preserved at least...
