...
Bird? Not even a pteranodon?
The point was to use an existing token already present in the original Tarkir-block. Since Dragons already are Sarkhan's domain I went with the actual dinosaur: bird.
If I gave myself more freedom (after all planeswalkers often bring along their own summon types), I would probably go for a fictional flying Dinosaur token of a fictional Dinosaur Bird with Archeopteryx aesthetics.
I'll admit that I am a little less strict than usual in assigning tokens to planeswalkers, but avoiding Bird tokens because Huatli would use Dinosaurs instead or Elspeth would use Angels instead gets old. It's also after all a point of these designs that planeswalkers immerse themselves more into the world they visit.
I love the idea of bird token that's an archeopteryx, actually
