Simply put, I'm making a custom set, and I'd like to add tokens. However, there's no token frame for the cards. I figured that's fine, I could just use a different frame and that's that.

But then I ran into the issue that unless otherwise stated, creature tokens are named after their creature type. So if you have, say, a 2/2 black zombie token and a 4/4 black zombie token with menace, both are just called "Zombie". But since MTGNexus doesn't seem to register them as tokens, it just sees two cards in the same set with the same name, and doesn't allow that.

So, I guess my question is, how does everyone else handle tokens in their custom sets?

I'm very new to this website, so I apologize if this is a stupid question, or if I posted it in the wrong place.

We should absolutely allow two cards with the same name.

Token frame, as well as the newer frames, and border, etc, are all on the list to add. It'll be some time though, as I'm focusing on other things.
