The standing problem with the Selesnya go-wide plan has always been the sweeper: one Pyroclasm or Anger of the Gods undoes a board that took three turns to assemble. This is the answer that treats the symptom directly, making the token half of your board immune to damage entirely and quietly upgrading every 1/1 Soldier, every Saproling, every Bird the deck can spew out into something a damage-based wipe cannot touch. The restriction is narrow on purpose: the prevention covers only creature tokens and only damage, so it never shields the real creatures you cast from hand, and it does nothing against an edict or a Wrath of God, which destroy rather than damage. Where the prevention does reach is anything that routes damage at your tokens, including a fight spell aimed at one of them: the token simply takes nothing back. The seven-mana price and the 5/7 frame mark this as a top-end payoff rather than an early enabler. You are not casting it to begin the token plan, since it generates no tokens itself; you are casting it to make a token plan already on the table unkillable to burn and sweepers. The high toughness is its own quiet joke, surviving most of the same red sweepers it has just rendered irrelevant for the rest of your team.
