Etrata, the Silencer exile ability - Creature Token
Asked by ArtStealer12 5 years ago
I was looking to play Etrata, the Silencer with Dowsing Dagger. Etrata says creature, so I want to make sure a creature token can be used for this effect.
Thank you.

Etrata, the Silencer, Dowsing Dagger Flip
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'll do my best.
You equip Etrata, the Silencer with the Dowsing Dagger Flip, giving your opponent two 0/2 plant creature tokens, and attack. Etrata can't be blocked, so unless your opponent does something, she connects. There are two triggers for when Etrata deals combat damage to a player, and you control both, so you put them on the stack in whichever order you want. One of those triggers will transform Dowsing Dagger Flip, while the other exiles one of that player's creatures and is probably the one you care about.
You could target one of the 0/2 tokens you gave your opponent with the dagger, but once state-based actions are checked, that token will cease to exist, and therefore won't count toward the three exiled cards with hit counters. Etrata will still shuffle back into your library.

A creature token cannot be used for this effect. When a token of any kind is exiled, it ceases to exist. So while you could remove a token created by Dowsing Dagger Flip, it won't count for the win con since it no longer exists.
