Do Tokens Die When Returned to Hand?
1 Answer. Unfortunately, No, It Doesn't Die. the Token Does Cease to Exist Once in the Player's Hand, but That's Due to Other Rules, and That's Not Considered...
.
Consequently, can a creature token be returned to hand?
Yes. Specifically, if a token permanent leaves the battlefield, resolve it as for any permanent, including any triggers for leaving the battlefield or entering the new zone, but it then ceases to exist. Returning token creatures to your opponent's hand is thus an effective way of dealing with them permanently.
Furthermore, do tokens die when exiled? Tokens which die do go to the graveyard, and trigger effects such as the one on Blood Artist that trigger when a creature dies. However, a token which leaves the battlefield can never return to the battlefield under any circumstances, and it ceases to exist the next time State-Based Actions are checked.
Keeping this in view, what happens to tokens when they die?
Once a creature token "dies", it goes to the graveyard and then ceases to exist. Creature tokens still count as going to the graveyard (for the purposes of cards that say "If a creature died" or "Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature every time a creature dies."), but they are NEVER considered to be in the graveyard.
Do tokens trigger desecrated tomb?
Desecrated Tomb says "whenever one or more creature *cards* leave your graveyard". Tokens are not cards and do not trigger the Tomb.
