Tokens
Asked by HunterReine 9 years ago
Can you cast Unsummon be cast on a token since you can't have a token in your hand

Any time a token goes to a zone other than the battlefield, it will cease to exist as a state-based action. Even if it's subject to an effect that would bring it back right away (ex: Cloudshift ), the token will stay in that zone instead.

It is important to note that tokens DO change zones, and then cease to exist as a state-based action. It isn't a replacement effect so the token moving zones does trigger any zone change trigger it or another object has.
And as GreatSword said there is a replacement effect that prevents a token that has left the battlefield from returning. So even Cloudshift or Restoration Angel 's effects will cause the token to cease existing when state-based actions are checked.

Good point, Gidgetimer; tokens can trigger "dies" effects and "is put into a graveyard" effects. I've had to explain that to people a couple times.

What about championing a token like with Boggart Mob and 1/1 goblin tokens

You can champion the goblin token with it, but the token ceases to exist as a state-based action the next time a player would receive priority since it is in a zone besides the battlefield.

Yes, you can. Instead of going to it's owner's hand, it ceases to exist.
