Plastic game tokens
Gear forum

I make some plastic bits and after playing a few games decided I wanted a token that was generic but able to be tapped. I also wanted to show colors easily.
The result is here- store link
Also available on Amazon- Amazon link
If these are popular I will make others. I am returning to MTG. I stopped playing after Legends. Now my kids are getting in to it so we are dusting off some old cards and buying some new ones. They are using some cards that create tokens so I made these. I do not think any of the cards we have require the tokens you mentioned, but I am much less knowledgeable than I was during the days of unlimited cards.

These actually look pretty good, which is great because most of the supplementary tokens/counters I've seen are pretty unwieldy or impractical.
I suggest allowing people to buy them by color as well; maybe batches of 10-15 of one color? I'm sure there are a number of detail-oriented players who would want to match the color of the marker to the color of the token, and a white token deck wouldn't need red or green tokens. Just a thought.
You should also mention how many of these things are in one package and whether they're even in ratio or if the color counts are totally random.

Thanks for the advice. I will add a few single color packs to the store as soon as practical. There are 30 per pack, 6 of each color. I was hoping one pack could supply a couple of friends with all the tokens they might need to play.

For a 30 pack, that's probably a reasonable assumption. But I'm thinking that anyone who plays in FNMs or even larger events might want some color-specific markers. Again, just a thought. Looks like a good product either way.

Dat million dollar idea tho.
But seriously, these look sick. I want some... I may buy some. Especially at $10, which is a very affordable price.
VampireArmy I don't think you'd want to compete with Tarmogoyf Dice (see google images page linked below).

Oh, how would you do multicolored tokens, by the way?

I guess for multi color you could paint part of the token, or use a sharpie marker. I have a bag full of swirled tokens from changing the color in the machine. It takes a while for one color to fully displace the next. I switched from red to white and ended up with a lot of pink swirls.
The dice look like they would require resin or a different machine than I currently have.

These are really neat.
Gray or silver ones would be pretty neat for artifacts/colorless.
As far as multicolored goes, maybe half tokens that snap or slide together (maybe kinda tounge and groove style)?

Do you make them in 1/2 and so on? Tarmogoyf and Monastery Swiftspear players would like these
