Tripling Season is a solution to the complex board state problem that almost every token player has encountered. You get too many types of tokens, with too many variations, can't keep your tapped separate from untapped, and your opponent's keep asking "what do you have?" Now you can keep all of your tokens in one easy to read place where you can consolidate crucial game information while keeping the rest of your board open for the other great cards in your deck. Search up any existing token or emblem, or create your own custom tokens. Save deck presets so you have a stack of tokens ready for you at the start of a new game.
