New Player Mistake, Tokens aren't real creatures?
I see this a lot with new players, and even with some long time players.
They don't treat token creatures like real creatures.
It doesn't matter how the creature is created, each has their purposes.
I'm going to show you why, right now.
Reaching and teaching Young Mages of all ages.
Welcome young mage, I'm Rhino.
I'd really like to know, What's the number one mistake you see new
players make?
Just put it in the comments below.
Before we get into this mistake, let's go over the difference between a creature
and a token creature.
A "real" creature is one that has a casting cost.
Most of the time, they are cast from your hand.
You have to pay a casting cost to put it on the battlefield.
When the spell resolves, you put THAT creature card on the battlefield.
But a token creature is not cast from your hand.
It is generated by a spell or ability.
When that spell or ability resolves you put a token down
to represent the creature.
Once either a creature or token creature is on the battlefield,
they are both permanents.
The big difference now is, A token creature can ONLY exist on the battlefield.
A token still goes to the graveyard when it dies,
But it doesn't stay there.
It disappears.
A token can be exiled, But it doesn't stay there.
It disappears.
And that's the main difference.
Tokens only exist on the battlefield.
Because of this, I think most people treat them differently.
Like they aren't real.
The ability to generate token creatures can be very helpful in Magic.
For example in the Merfolk deck I'm running right now,
I have a Mist-Cloaked Herald.
It is a 1/1 for one blue that can't be blocked.
It's a really cool card.
I also have Deeproot Waters.
This Enchantment lets me create a 1/1 blue Merfolk token with Hexproof when I cast another
Merfolk.
If you look at the two, they are very similar creatures.
Both are 1/1 with a special ability.
They are both capable of attacking and blocking.
They are both great ways of getting more creatures on the board.
Now, for the big mistake.
I see players sacrificing tokens first without thinking about their board state.
Tokens disappear when they go to the graveyard.
Let me give you an example
We have a mono black deck.
There is a Queen's Bay Soldier and a Zombie creature token on the battlefield.
Our opponent has a Magmaroth and attacks with it.
There's no way we can take it out, so to keep us from losing life,
We need to chump block.
Which creature would you block with?
They are both 2/2 with no special abilities.
I see most players sacrificing their tokens first.
They aren't thinking about the fact that tokens disappear when it goes to the graveyard.
In this case it's better to sacrifice the Queen's Bay Soldier.
It goes to the graveyard without disappearing.
On our next turn we draw a Gravedigger.
When the Gravedigger enters the battlefield, we can put the Queen's Bay Soldier back
in our hand.
If we had sacrificed the Zombie token, we wouldn't have a creature to return from
the graveyard.
I know that not every deck has a way to interact with the graveyard.
But if you get in the habit of sacrificing a token,
just because it's a token, you are likely to sacrifice the token when
it does matter.
Make sure you sacrifice the right creature for the right reason.
