Today's Challenge:
A card that uses a new predefined token

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:
  • Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)
  • Make a card that fits the current challenge.
  • Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.
Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

.::Scoring::.
void_nothing 52 (+3)
JovialJovian 50
dyd 45 (+0)
netn10 44 (+3)
Riria 27 (+1)
bravelion83 26 (+3)
Ink-Treader 20
OneAndOnly 12
Daylit 7
FoilSquared 5
.::Note of the Day::.

bravelion won once again but with the same IIW as yesterday's challenge, so I went ahead and just used the one from today's poll instead. And my assumption is that predefined tokens are the likes of Food, Clues, and Treasure.

.::Yesterday's Submissions::.

Titanium Colossus (11)
Artifact Creature - Giant
Trample
If Titanium Colossus would die or be exiled, instead return it to its owner's hand. That player may look at the top five cards of their library, put a nonartifact Giant card from among them onto the battlefield, then put the rest on the bottom of their library in a random order.
11/11

IIW: (16)

No! I had in mind to use titanium for this! Well, I'll see if posting the card I had in mind anyway or use something else. EDIT: Ok, I went for something else. The card I had in mind was called Titanium Exoskeleton, and it was an indestructible Equipment that also gave equipped creature indestructible. Well, back in the back burner! Maybe that card will be useful for some other challenge in the future. In the meantime, let's switch to gold.
Zaltor, Blessed with Gold 2BB
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior (R)
When Zaltor, Blessed with Gold enters the battlefield, create two Gold tokens. (A Gold token is an artifact with "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.")
When you control no Gold tokens, sacrifice Zaltor, Blessed with Gold.
2, T: Create a Gold token.
5/4

Protection from everything

Yes, exactly that. From the CR:
CR (KHM)

111.10. Some effects instruct a player to create a predefined token. These effects use the definition below to determine the characteristics the token is created with. The effect that creates a predefined token may also modify or add to the predefined characteristics.
111.10a A Treasure token is a colorless Treasure artifact token with "{T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color."
111.10b A Food token is a colorless Food artifact token with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life."
111.10c A Gold token is a colorless Gold artifact token with "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color."
111.10d A Walker token is a 2/2 black Zombie creature token named Walker.
111.10e A Shard token is a colorless enchantment token with "{2}, Sacrifice this enchantment: Scry 1, then draw a card."

Clues are in the rules for investigate, even though they're not technically a predefined token as they're not listed above.

701.36. Investigate
701.36a "Investigate" means "Create a colorless Clue artifact token with '{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.'"

Note the different wording. If Clues were also predefined it would say "Create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")"

Sorry if this challenge was already done, I didn't know. I'm a chemist in real life so I just thought of that naturally, and I'm still new enough to this game that I can't know every challenge that has already been done.

Clachan Sentinel 1GW
Creature — Kithkin Soldier (R)
When Clachan Sentinel enters the battlefield or attacks, create a Sword token. (It's an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.")
As long as Clachan Sentinel's power is 4 or greater, it has trample, vigilance, and indestructible.
Every clachan needs some guardians.
2/2
