FWIW I wouldn't give my tokens or Tips & Tricks to any store that makes money off them.
Sells =/= makes money
When I say sells I mean for like a nickle a piece for most of them. Yeah there are some that are hard to find and get sold like any other common but even those are 12 for $1. Every store has overhead and cost associated with keeping up a play area. The money made helps cover those costs.
You also have to understand that when I talk about our LGS it's a store run by a husband and wife who sell comics, sports stuff (which they are really into), and games stuff like magic or Settlers of Cattan type stuff. I don't mind paying a small price for tokens if it means they stay open and I really don't think the drafters care either because it gives them a place to draft.

Eh, a pack of 13 Zombie tokens that someone has taken the time to round up and use storage space for...worth something. A buck? I don't know. Never would have thought I would need 13 Zombie tokens at a time, but apparently this set has proven me wrong on that.

Makes sense with regards to tribal "theme" vice tribal "block." In a lot of ways, this seems to mirror the way the newer core sets treat the traditional "tribes."
Just noticed that the Spirit tokens are white. I have been looking at Kamigawa spirits lately, and those tokens are often colorless....
They also dont fly, the white spirits (also see spectral procession are generally more like ghosts which are like whites part of the colour pie for undead things as they can be more than just mindless killers i suppose.
I really like the wolf token. It will be cool if the black wolf token was done by the same artist and looked similar but sick. Man I wish Wizards made foiled tokens, and put them into boosters.
Just think what that would have been like for people that didn't use cards for tokens. "Okay, so the pennies are green Spirits, the dice are black ones, and that quarter is a blue one? Or were the pennies black and the dice green?"
Almost every spirit token creator in Kamigawa made 1/1 colorless spirits.
For what its worth, 2 packs of wolf tokens were included in each pre-release kit to be given out to each person who signs up (along with the standard promo). The wolves are the #12 card with two different backs both advertising the Judge program.
My guess for the last open spots would be a human token.
That unfortunately doesn't work out if we treat this like a mini number crunch.
1. W Angel
2. W Spirit
3.
4. U Homunculus
Whatever goes in slot 3 is either W and comes after "Sp" or is U and comes before "Ho". Humans don't fit either as they would have to be between Angel and Spirit if they were W and would be either 1 or 12 if they were colorless both slots of which are filled.
It also stands to reason that any tribe so centered on +1/+1 counters probably won't work much (if at all) with token creatures when you consider how many players simply use dice or beads to keep track of such things and having +1/+1 and tokens would quickly become confusing.

I kind of wish WotC would give these tokens to stores to give out to players who are using the cards in thier decks. Would at least be nice for the Pre-release or Game Day where people haven't had a chance to open a ton of cards yet. Obviously if the token has been printed before its no big, but something like a 1/1 wolf hasn't been printed yet.
(Fortunately I keep a stack of Pro Player cards for just such occasions. Nassif has made a good Saproling and I used Antonio De Rosa as an Elephant)

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

there don't seem to be too many existing creature types that fit the restraints of color, flavor, and the alphabet. mainly it just looks like there's gargoyle (could easily be blue), elemental (maybe), bird (if mono-U), and maybe a couple others.
there's a chance the token for this slot might be a totally new creature type for a token. have they ever done that before?
edit:

#3 is the Homunculus, not #4.
ah, that actually helps.
so now we know the missing one is blue, and comes after Ho-
so illusion is possible, as is: insect (there is that blue guy that transforms into an insect), maybe merfolk?, blue spirit, maybe a few more, i'm tired of looking through that list now.
total casual player, I love being able to swing in with a Stonehewer Giant equipped with a Sword of Vengeance, Sword of Light/Shadow, Lightning Greaves, and Argentum Armor. That's not gonna happen anywhere but casual play.

if i recall correctly, Fnord said there were 3 different arts for zombie tokens.

Nah, they all are 2/2s.
I actually posted another of the Zombies in the first post of this thread. It appears no one noticed.

Nope, sorry:

It's not. The missing token (which isn't in that slot) has been done before.

Thanks but the OP has been edited since I posted.
So it looks like all we are missing is B and G at this point so the chances of a human token of any kind are looking VERY slim.
