Wolfbriar Elemental

Token Evolution

What brought about the shift from Bear tokens (Grizzly Fate, Caller of the Claw) to Wolf tokens (Master of the Wild Hunt, Wolfbriar Elemental) as the staple 2/2 green token? Avoiding overlap with Grizzly/Runeclaw Bears?

We tend to choose tokens based on the flavor at hand. We wanted to round out the werewolf tribe in Innistrad (because they were all on double-faced cards which restricted their numbers) so we made a bunch of wolves to play with them. It only make logical sense to also turn the green 2/2 token of the block into wolves. Note that this isn’t some permanent shift. Tokens like many aspects of Magic are ever evolving.
