Sigarda and Clue Artifacts

Asked by Phnxknight 7 years ago

Trying to figure something out in my head and the interwebs is coming up short with a definitive answer.

Say that I have Sigarda Heron's Grace on the board with multiple land open and several clues to sac.

If I were to sacrifice a clue to draw, could I, as an activated response to the Clue hitting the graveyard, use Sigarda to exile the Clue and get a 1/1 Human Soldier token before SBA (state board actions) resolve.

My understanding is that you can't target the token due to SBA, but Sigarda's wording is "exile A card from your graveyard..." thus not targeting. Assuming this, I am able to exile the Clue and get a Human Soldier.

Is my assumption correct?

Apologies for not having tagged cards. Unsure how to do that via mobile phone

Use double hard brackets (usually in the additional characters menu on a phone) to link cards.

Sigarda, Heron's Grace would not be able to exile a clue token. Tokens cease to exist as a state-based action when they are in any zone besides the battlefield. SBAs are checked and performed each time before a player receives priority. You must have priority to activate Sigarda, Heron's Grace's ability.

Note also that tokens are not cards. Effects that concern cards specifically do not affect tokens.
