Can we replace this with a sorcery that makes a creature token? If GW is going to be the colors that care about tokens I think that green needs some creature tokens.
If this is a sorcery should it have research?

Unfortunately, we do not have the room for more tokens at common. No set (that complies with NWO) has ever had more tokens at common than BFZ, and it has 6, with only one kind of token. We are already at 7, and our set has two kinds of tokens.

I do agree, however, that us being cramped for space for tokens causes problems with our current vision of the {g}{w} archetype. I was considering options myself. I think lots of uncommon enablers might help?

Have you already checked that all the existing tokens pulling their weight, whether any can be dropped or combined? If there's a GW token theme, is a mid-size green creature one of the priorities, whether it's here or not?

Or double-down on the Kaladesh artifact-token theme and try to make more cards make artifact tokens instead of on-colour tokens? That also reduces duplication between the colours.

I'm not sure if this would be acceptable at common, but if there's a shortage of token types, is there any room for a variable-sized creature token, eg. an enforcer golem or a Raksha demon that is 0/0 with 1, 2 or 3 +1/+1 counters on (or are made as 1/1, 2/2 or 3/3 but come with a ?/? token card). Wizards always shied away from +1/+1 counters on tokens, but I think it's more and more common to use token cards (or face-down cards) as tokens, rather than counters.

Jack V: All the cards in the set, currently, are artifact tokens. We have two kinds of token, Thopter and Canister, which we feel strongly represent Kaladesh. The cards featuring these tokens are House Arrest, Artificer's Response, Pioneer Researcher, Fugitive Freelancer, Prepare a Hideout, Delivery Automaton. There's also (((Thopter Deployment))), Aerial Espionage, and (((Aerial Surveillance))), which are all possibilities for the same slot in blue.

Oops, sorry, I misread your original comment, I thought you were talking about total types of token. That makes more sense.

No worries. Outlining the token-cards was a good idea anyway. :)

The use of Outland and outskirt seems inconsistent

Green now has 2 vanilla's and quite a few french vanilla. Going to remove this from the skeleton
