Sand is a rarely used token-specific creature type, depicting creatures made up of a loose granular substance, typically pale yellowish brown. When used, it is mainly combined with the Warrior type.
History
The type was first used for Hazezon Tamar to represent the storyline that he could create Sand copies of himself. Until the printing of the Dune-Brood Nephilim, it was the only use of this token. This is the only example where Sand-tokens are used on their own. Hazezon would get another iteration years later in Dominaria United with the box topper Hazezon, Shaper of Sand.
Sand warriors were reused again for the Thunder Junction Commander card Sand Scout, and Desert Warfare in Modern Horizons 3.
