Mishra's Toy Workshop + Princess Twilight Sparkle
Asked by Tales19 4 years ago
Since Mishra's Toy Workshop 's ability allows you to use toys to represent tokens, would those toys be considered 'controlled' by the player? The specific interaction is with Princess Twilight Sparkle , and her ability which requires you to control "Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity."
If the toys selected by the workshop's abilities were toys of those characters, would that be considered 'controlling' them? Or would the toys not be considered part of the game, and instead, as far as card interaction is concerned, the toys simply are the tokens they represent?
P.S. I realize this is my second question regarding Princess Twilight Sparkle , and I am sorry for the repetition. I'm trying to deck-build with her, hence the questions.

But in my personal silver-bordered opinion: If you actually went through all the trouble to orchestrate this board state, I would probably give it to you. See what your playgroup thinks.

No, that won't work. By the standard way Magic rules templating works, Princess Twilight Sparkle 's ability is understood to say "If you control permanents named Applejack", etc. Tokens don't take any characteristics from the physical object used to represent them. They only have the characteristics defined by the effect that created them, and that includes names.
