Backwoods Douser Creature - Raccoon Peasant (C)
: Add two mana in any combination of colors. Spend this mana only to activate abilities of tokens you control.
"Wash what's found.
Hope it's food.
Something else?
Also good!"

Aw, raccoons as trinket-lovers. They love them some treasure. And some food. And maybe blood tokens, but that's the old boots on wurms problem- not every interaction can be flavorful. I'm split on whether the card should specify "artifact tokens"
I'm surprised that more people didn't go this route. Being the mana dork of trinkets is a simple, direct approach that leads to a very clean design.
Cute flavor text. And it washes stuff!

I decided against this being restricted to artifact tokens to make it generally more useful and because it felt a little odd for a green common to be so artifact focused, even if the ability is targeted at activating food and clues. Funny enough, I just decided to look through
every token in the game to see what this could work with, and there isn't a single card cards that creates non-artifact tokens with activated abilities, or a token that requires
to activate its abilities. (Save for stuff like
Rootcast Apprenticeship.) So at least making it "any color" was the right move.
I'm happy the cuteness comes across so lovingly.
