Token Rarity in WAR

  • Nissa Emblem: 1/121
  • Dragon Token: 2/121
  • Voja Token: 2/121
  • Zombie Warrior Token: 2/121
  • Angel Token: 3/121
  • Citizen Token: 3/121
  • Zombie Token: 3/121
  • Soldier Token: 4/121
  • Spirit Token: 4/121
  • Goblin Token: 5/121
  • Devil Token: 6/121
  • Wall Token: 6/121
  • Assassin Token: 7/121
  • Wizard Token: 7/121
  • Wolf Token: 7/121
  • Servo Token: 8/121
  • Zombie Army Token: 17/121 each

These numbers come from analyzing collation patterns (in box opening videos on YouTube). This allows me to reconstruct the order that cards appear on the print sheets. The rarity of a token is proportional to the number of times it appears on the token print sheet. Errors are possible, but most positions have been observed at least twice.

This data is based on analyzing the US printing which uses an 11 × 11 sheet (hence the 121). The other printings might be different.

Interesting to note that the emblem is at 1/121, as we hadn't seen anything at 1/121 since Dominaria. (Emblems in M19, RAV, and RNA were 2/121.) This may indicate that they've changed their minds again. Plus, Nissa is only rare.

Previously, token rarity in DOM, M19, GRN, BBD, and UMA; token rarity in RNA.

Sounds accurate. I bought a booster box and do 4 prereleases as of this post. I got all the token, but only 1 of emblem and the wolf.

the armies should definitely have been maybe 2/121.

17/121 is ridiculous when you only need one at a time ever. (with occasional exceptions, maybe?)

They just really want everyone to have an army token even if you don't open that many packs

Yeah, the only color pair that doesn't ever have use for the token is GW.

51/121 if you don't care which of the three arts you use.

They want it to be pretty much guaranteed to get one in a sealed pool, or 1 per player in a draft

I think the reason they're at suck a high rate is because there are three different arts for the army tokens. So really is more like 6ish/121 for each different army token.

I didn't say it was a good reason though. I wanted more spirits and servos, dangit!

It's 17/121 for each art, not for all three together.

Is there any way to even get a second one on the battlefield at the same time? In Standard at least?

I'm not really sure.

Maybe spark double?

I considered that, but it would make a 0/0 that dies instantly lol

Spark double gives it a +1/+1 if it's a creature.
