It always really annoys me when certain cards I use don't have cool-looking tokens to go with them. Photoshop to the rescue!
There are tools online you can use to make your own tokens, but they have limitations, and I want my tokens to look as legitimate as possible—and that means using the most modern token layout (which debuted, I believe, with Magic 2015) and the proprietary Beleren font. Now, I don't have access to that font, so all the titles and type-lines of the tokens I make have to be spliced together in Photoshop from existing cards. The results, fortunately enough, look really good!
I have a Ravnica Cube (if you want to draft the cube or to look at the cube's cards / guiding philosophies, follow this link to the cube's CubeTutor page), and I love drafting Simic in that cube. Producing a steady stream of 2/2 flying creatures is surprisingly powerful, but it's annoying to have to use a random piece of cardboard for the tokens. Here's my version of the token at full resolution so you can print it out for maximum effect:
