The Jolly Balloon Man copying Riders of the Mark

Asked by Last_Laugh 1 week ago

Will the token Riders of the Mark be able to produce tokens? I know the token exiles, but does going through the motion of returning it to my hand before it poofs meet the requirement?

Just like tokens can die and trigger "when this permanent is put into a graveyard"- effects, tokens can be returned to hand. It doesn't exile, it won't trigger a Ketramose, the New Dawn for example, but it will trigger Barrin, Tolarian Archmage in the end step. The token just stops existing as soon as it arrives in its new zone (your hand, instead of the battlefield) and can't be retrieved from anywhere after it stopped existing.
