Title: Undying?
Post by: Thattallguy on February 08, 2012, 03:16:49 AM
Can it affect creature tokens?  I am guessing no cause they don't go to the GY. Please let me know if this is true. Thanks.

A token never actually reaches the GY, it is exiled when it leaves the BF.  Me thinks

Wizards actually posted a rule for this. A token with undying will come back from the gy

Off the top of my head, the way the keyword reads wouldnt bring the token back. I'll have to see this official ruling though.

Tokens trigger go to the gy effects, even though they don't go there. So it does come to the battlefield

From the DKA FAQ, OK? JK  ;)

"If a token with no +1/+1 counters on it has undying, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can't return to the battlefield."

Oh, ok, I thought it didn't cease to exist before the trigger. My mistake then. What means JK?
