I just bought the Uncommon Knowledge intro deck the other day. I haven't yet played the game, but I was looking through my cards and a few of them mention that they create creature tokens when played. My box didn't come with any tokens of any kind inside it. I'm very confused, how am I supposed to play those cards?

Just mark the tokens with facedown cards or dice or coins or something.

I clearly swung with my 1/1 soldier token, see how this die is sideways?

i remember using pennies when me and my friends got intro decks

it was good bc on their own they were creatures, but on a card they could be +1+1 counters face up, and -1-1 counters face down

Most Magic Booster packs also come with tokens now. If you want a specific token, you can buy them for like 15-25 cents on tcgplayer.

Use any card face down with a die on top to represent its power/toughness

I am not going to look it up, but it involves board states. Your board state should be clear to understand involving what is tapped or untapped. A dice on a table used as a token by itself can't show clearly if its tapped or untapped.

Few are going to call people out on this at casual play. I generally bring a spare deckbox in my bag with most tokens available. Generally I just help people out with tokens because it helps both of us. I am not going to let someone use a dice as a token in competitive play but I will let them borrow tokens if they want.

And if you're not, draw three soldiers on cardstock paper cards anyway, and then after each game ask your opponent to draw another soldier for you. They'll see your awful tokens and know they don't have to be good artists to do one either, and soon enough you'll have a huge stack of tokens.

It's 3.8 under the 'Tournament Rules' document:

Section 3.8 of Tournament Rules posted:

Players using markers to represent in-game components (e.g. permanents) must have a way of clearly representing
any in-game status, such as whether a permanent is tapped. Sleeves or card backs that appear similar to any
player’s sleeves or card backs may not be used as markers.

Black summer was the best summer.
Day 1 Standard Hype

No G/W tokens on camera. G/W good stuff was though and it seems strong.
B/R aggro on camera a few times. I feel like there are a ton of good creatures that you can mix and match there and it has the best aggressive removal in standard. A friend of mine was pumped.
Thopter and gearhulk were just as good as everything thought.
U/R was better than people thought. I don't know if it is good enough against aggressive decks though.
Hoogs is in the top8 of the field with jeskai flash. If this is close to his 75 for today I am pretty shocked he is doing so well. This deck seems awful. http://themeadery.org/decks/deck/10211/

I expect fragmentize to be a 4 of in a lot of sideboards soon.

I try not to get excited in week one considering how fun last rotation was and how it ended.
