Hey brewers! Today, I want step away from deck techs for a moment and talk about one of my absolute favorite Commander accessories: InfiniTokens.
If you play EDH, you know the struggle. One deck makes Thopters, another makes Treasures, another makes Saprolings, maybe you copy a creature, track the Monarch, or need an emblem… carrying around specific tokens for every possible scenario is a huge hassle, not to mention potentially expensive if you want official or fancy custom ones. For years, many of us resorted to using dice, upside-down cards, or scraps of paper, which often led to confusing board states.
Then I discovered InfiniTokens, and honestly, they’ve been a game-changer for my casual EDH nights.
(Quick note before we dive in: This post is not sponsored by or affiliated with InfiniTokens in any way. I bought these myself, genuinely love using them for my budget brews, and just wanted to share my positive experience with fellow players!)
What Are They?
For those unfamiliar, InfiniTokens are basically reusable, dry-erase cards or tiles, often card-sized or like sturdy discs. You use dry-erase markers to write or draw whatever you need – a 1/1 Goblin, a Treasure artifact, a copy of Blightsteel Colossus, you name it! When you’re done, you just wipe them clean. You can learn more about them on their official site: infinitokens.com.
Why I Love Them (The Upsides):
1. Buy Once, Use Infinitely (Budget Win!): This is huge for a budget-focused player like me (and probably many of you reading ThemEDH!). Instead of constantly buying new packs or singles hoping to find the exact tokens my latest brew needs, I bought a set of InfiniTokens once. Now I have tokens for literally anything my decks can create, forever. Long-term, the value is fantastic and fits perfectly with our “easy to swallow prices” philosophy.
2. Ultimate Customization & Flexibility: This is where they truly shine. Their ability to become anything is invaluable, especially for brewers like us. Think about our recent Theory Brew: Bess’s Budget Banquet: A ~$43 “Nourishing Community” EDH Deck , for example. That deck aims to create 1/1 Human Soldiers (from Horn of Valhalla or Increasing Devotion), 1/1 Halflings (from Farmer Cotton / Saradoc), potentially varied Citizen tokens from March of the Multitudes, *and* crucial Food tokens! Instead of digging for five different specific token types, you just grab an InfiniToken, scribble ‘1/1 Soldier’ or ‘Food’, and you’re good to go. It simplifies representing diverse board states immensely.
3. They ACTUALLY Tap! (Goodbye, Dice Tokens): My biggest pet peeve with using dice as creature tokens is tracking whether they’re tapped or have summoning sickness. InfiniTokens solve this beautifully. They function just like cards on the battlefield – you can turn them sideways to show they’re tapped! This makes tracking combat and abilities so much clearer, especially when you have a wide board. Imagine attacking with Bess and pumping ten 1/1 tokens – being able to clearly tap the ones that attacked is much easier than trying to remember which dice you tilted!
4. Reusable & Easy (Mostly!) Cleanup: The dry-erase nature means less waste and constant usability. Just wipe and go! Confession time: I definitely forget to clean mine right after a game sometimes. Thankfully, as a pro-tip, a little rubbing alcohol usually takes off even stubborn dried-on marker with minimal fuss. It keeps them looking fresh even when I procrastinate cleaning them.
The One Catch (It’s Worth It!)
Okay, let’s be real, there’s one potential downside: the marker. If you’re not careful, or if the marker isn’t fully dry before you handle them or stack things, you can potentially get smudges on your sleeves, playmat, or even cards (less likely if you’re double-sleeving, but possible). You learn pretty quickly to give the marker a second to dry and handle them with a bit of care. Using fine-tip dry-erase markers often helps, too.
Is it a risk? Yes. Is it worth it for the incredible flexibility, clarity, and long-term value? For me, absolutely. The benefits far outweigh the minor risk, which is easily managed with a little awareness.
Final Thoughts
InfiniTokens have streamlined my Commander accessory kit significantly. They save money in the long run, represent anything I need on the fly (perfect for decks like Bess that make multiple token types!), and make the board state much clearer than using dice. If you’re tired of hunting down specific tokens or trying to remember what that D6 represents, I highly recommend checking them out over at infinitokens.com. They are a fantastic tool for any EDH player, especially budget-conscious brewers like us at ThemEDH!
