Most common tokens

I wonder of all the tokens, which one is produced the most often? --GeoMike 08:02, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

Necro reply... but it's the 1/1 green Saproling. Other common ones are the 1/1 white Soldier, the 1/1 white Spirit w/ flying, and the 2/2 black Zombie. 83.233.111.34 07:04, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
Meganecro reply, but I appreciate the info others have updated about Saprolings vs Zombies vs Treasure. I was fiddling with some queries to possibly use as a reference for those trivia. Zombies are especially tricky since they have several related keywords, and a predefined token if you're into that kind of thing. If you put these three together does it seem accurate/comprehensive?
Most common form; includes Amass: fo:/create[^.]*\b(zombie|walker)\b[^.]*token/
Copy form; includes almost all Embalm/Eternalize: fo:/create[^.]*token[^.]*copy[^.]*except[^.]*zombie/
Edge cases; includes an Embalm without the usual templating, two questionable cases and a false positive:
fo:/(?<!non)token/ (fo:zombie OR fo:/(?!~)\bwalker\b/) -(fo:/create[^.]*\b(zombie|walker)\b[^.]*token/ OR fo:/create[^.]*token[^.]*copy[^.]*except[^.]*zombie/)
I'm not sure how the current #s in the article were found; the numbers from the search seem close but not exact match. IMO Alchemy Rebalanced cards are not "unique cards", but new Alchemy cards are. I'm also borderline on whether the two niche cards which make straight copies but only TARGET zombies are really making zombie tokens - probably not since the effect itself is just the same as any other copy.- jerodast (talk) 08:01, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
