When a token dies, is that considered hitting the graveyard?
Asked by Spook9MM 6 years ago
Destroying token creatures, whether it be lethal combat damage, or instants like Lightning Bolt, Sunlance, etc... With a Dingus Staff in play, will those dying tokens trigger the staff? Or does your opponent just lose a creature and forego the additional 2 pts of damage?
Note the updated card text from its Gatherer page:
- Whenever a creature dies, Dingus Staff deals 2 damage to that creature's controller.

Yes, technically they are put into the graveyard, but they are removed right after, so the effect of the staff will still happen, but the token will not remain in the graveyard
