Populate

Cards with the populate keyword, which creates a token copy of a creature token you control. Pure populators like Wake the Reflections and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice activate the effect directly, while Rootborn Defenses and Druid's Deliverance staple populate onto a combat trick, and Growing Ranks and Song of the Worldsoul give recurring triggers. Coursers' Accord and Horncaller's Chant generate a token first and then populate it. Distinct from tokens.token_doubler, which multiplies tokens via a replacement effect rather than the populate keyword, and from tokens.creature_token_maker, the broader grouping for any card that creates creature tokens regardless of mechanism.
