Elephant

The Elephant token, marked as collector number 22, was released as part of the Commander 2014 supplemental set. These tokens were designed to represent the various creatures created by card abilities during gameplay, serving as a functional visual aid for players rather than a collectible card for traditional deck construction. The 2014 Commander series was notable for being the first to feature planeswalker commanders, which expanded the breadth of token-generating mechanics and necessitated a robust set of associated tokens.

The illustration was provided by Lars Grant-West, an artist widely recognized for his extensive contributions to the Magic: The Gathering universe, particularly regarding creature and nature-themed artwork. Grant-West aimed for a naturalistic, grounded aesthetic that aligned with the game's high-fantasy tone, utilizing his background in biological illustration to lend a sense of weight and realism to the creature. Upon release, the token was well-received by the player base for its clear, evocative design, which maintained consistency with the standard visual language of the game's evolving creature rosters.
