Didn't read the criteria

Meh

Defend The Motherland!

Instant
Create X 1/1 white soldier creature tokens, when X is the number of creatures attacking you. If X is 4 or greater, sacrifice those tokens at the beginning of the next end step.

Hmmm "minus the number of untapped creatures you control"? Do it after you declare blockers but have the tokens etb blocking an unblocked creature?
