Spirit token question
Asked by nfcnorth 12 years ago
Are the black/white tokens created from Beckon Apparition considered different form tokens created by Lingering Souls ? I am guessing they are but just want to double check. Main reason I ask is for things like Sever the Bloodline .
They are different tokens, but they are still Spirit tokens. Since Sever the Bloodline states "target creature and all other creatures with the same name," it would exile all Spirit tokens regardless of color.

tokens' names are defined by their type. Beckon Apparition generates spirit tokens so they're called 'spirit' not 'b&w spirit' likewise, lingering souls' tokens are called 'spirit', not 'mono-white spirit', so yes, both types will be exiled. Same goes for cards like Detention Sphere

They are different creatures in that one is a 1/1 white spirit creature token with flying, and the other is a 1/1 black and white spirit creature token with flying.
But they -do- have the same english name "Spirit" and so would all be effected by Sever the Bloodline
