If I play a gold token as my first card, will Darius Trifarian's ability trigger as a +2 if he is played then?

Ruling: No, Darius Trifarian's ability will not trigger if he is played after a gold token. Tokens are not cards, so playing a token does not count toward the "second card this turn" condition.

Nuances:

• Tokens do not count as cards for any game effects that reference "cards"
• Darius must be the second actual card played in a turn to trigger his ability, not the second thing played
