I'm not pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

Coronavirus edition. Okay, so recently I did a podcast talking about the history of tokens, creature tokens.

So I got all the way up through fallen empires. So today I'm going to continue on. So I pick up with Ice Age.

So it's interesting that Ice Age had one card that made a creature token,

which was Caribou Range, two white, white, enchant land.

When Caribou Range comes into play, choose target land you control,

tap tap, tap, tap, and caribouibou range your chance to put a caribou

token into play. Treat this token as a zero-one white creature, and you can sacrifice a

caribou to gain the life. So that's a pretty weak card. It makes zero-one. You'll notice

there's a lot of zero-ones. I mentioned this last time. I think there's a little bit of worry

early on about

tokens sort of getting out of control. We started getting a lot more aggressive with tokens.

Okay, so next we get to Homeland. So Homeland actually had a number of cards. Let's see. It had

six cards that made creature tokens. I want to talk about a couple. So first off,

broken visage. So this was instant, four in a black. I'll read you the text as it came in the

card. Barry Target non-Artefact attacking creature

and put a shadow token into play.

Treat this token as a black creature with power and toughness

equal to the power and toughness of that attacking creature.

Barry's shadow token end of turn.

So Barry, by the way, it was a term we used to mean

that you destroy it and it can't be regenerated.
