What is Populate in MTG?
Populate? Oh, that's just your ticket to doubling up on creature tokens. Got a token you particularly like? Populate lets you make another. Just remember, it only works on tokens, not on every creature you've got.

Populate is a mechanic in Magic The Gathering that lets you duplicate one of your creature tokens. It's like hitting the clone button on one of your already present tokens, giving you another one just like it. Super handy when you're looking to amp up your army without shelling out extra mana for new creatures!
It's a mechanic introduced in the Return to Ravnica set. Basically, populate allows you to copy a creature token you control. So if you're into strategies that involve a lot of tokens, populate is your best friend!
Populate's overrated. Sure, copying tokens sounds cool, but it's all about having the right setup. Without a decent token to copy, it's pretty much a dead card.
