Lavinia of the tenth

Asked by babos86 11 years ago

I want to ask. Does the detain effect of Lavinia works on token creatures? Token are creatures wiyh 0 mana cost or without mana cost?

"The converted mana cost of a creature token is 0 unless that token is a copy of another creature, in which case it copies that creatures mana cost."

So yes, all tokens with CMC 0 will be affected.

Lavinia's ability works on general tokens (like 3/3 centaur tokens created by Centaur's Herald because their CMC is 0. The exceptions are tokens that are copies of specific permanents. For example a token created by Cackling Counterpart or Giant Adephage will have the CMC of the original creature, thus incase of the Counterpart, may or may not be subject to Lavinia's detain.
