Tokens are goblins and soldiers and if I have Coat in play does they get bonus for each creature typ.

No.

As the old saying goes:
The world is divided into two kind of creatures; those that match and those that don't.

Coat of Arms counts how many are of the matching type, and awards a +1/+1 bouns for each one it finds.

Multiple creature types only make it easier to create matches between creature types.

that's an old saying?

There's an old saying:
The world's divided into two kinds of people;
Those who do --something-- and those who don't.

This is adapted and used in many different cases.

I just excercised a little bit of literary license and adapted it to Magic; specifically Coat of Arms.

BTW, my favorite example is:
The world's divided into two kinds of people;
Those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't.

Adapting this to Police fans

There's an old saying:
The world's divided into two kinds of people;
Those who do do do do and those who do do do don't.

Sorry :-(

There are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't.

The world is divided in all kinds of ppl and they are all different... :)

Back to the original point, if you have 3 goblin/soldier tokens, they will each be 5/5.

Base 1/1 with +2/+2 for goblinness and +2/+2 for soldiering.

"There are two kinds of people in the world.
I think that...um...yeah."

No, back to Westwycke's original post about why that's wrong. Coat of Arms says:
Each creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature in play that shares a creature type with it.

If there are 3 tokens in play, each token will be 3/3 because there are two other creatures in play that share a type with it. It doesn't matter that they share two creature types, because there are still only two other creatures, not four.
