can you play right of replication on a token

can you play right of replication on a token

[DatAsh]

As long as the token is a creature, of course. If you read the card you'll notice it says nothing about tokens. Don't make stuff up.

[Togepi]

dunno what you are saying because first you say yes but then you say that it does not say anything about tokens and not to make stuff up so no?

[Arix]

It doesn't say anything about tokens because it doesn't need to. By thinking it wouldn't work on tokens, you're placing the word "nontoken" on the card, which isn't there. Therefore, you are making stuff up.

[DatAsh]

I was not contradicting myself, you're simply misunderstanding the card and what I said. It says nothing about the creature being a token, and as Arix said, you're inserting an invisible word, and thus making stuff up.

[Togepi]

ah ok cool, wasnt making stuff up just wasnt sure if a token is allowed to copy another token because a token is not a regular creature

[Arix]

because a token is not a regular creature

Where did you hear this? Because it's totally wrong. A token creature is just like a regular creature in every way, except that they cease to exist upon leaving the battlefield.

[Togepi]

because you cant cast a token

[Mintek]

is this a new card? i dont see it in gatherer

[Arix]

because you cant cast a token

So? How would that make it not a normal creature?

is this a new card? i dont see it in gatherer

He means Rite of Replication.

[DatAsh]

Just because something isn't cast doesn't make it non-normal. You don't cast lands, are they not normal? What if you put a creature onto the battlefield with Chord of Calling? A permanent is a permanent, token or not.

[Togepi]

ok thanx

another question about the same card

is it ok to copy a token that itself was created by a rites of replication?

[DatAsh]

There you go making stuff up again. Everything a card does is written in its oracle text, no less and no more.

[Togepi]

I don't get this making stuff up again

are you saying you CANT use rite to copy a token that was itself created by the rite since the card does not say that you can?

or are you saying that you CAN use rite to copy a token that was itself created by rite, since the card does not say you can't?

[DatAsh]

You are indeed making stuff up. Do you not understand what you were told, that creature tokens are creatures? If Rite of Replication couldn't copy a token created with Rite of Replication then it would say so on the card.

[Togepi]

Rites of Replication also does NOT say you can copy a token created with Rite of Replication

so maybe you are making stuff up too

how do i know which is correct

[DatAsh]

Because the token that it creates is just a creature token. It says NOTHING about the creature token being anything more than a creature token. Maybe if you knew the rules of the game you could understand this better. But clearly you'd rather make up your own rules, or lack-thereof.

[Twanos]

I grow weary of the "making stuff up" comments. We have a 20 second question and turn it into an annoying back and forth with the asker feeling belittled at best and insulted at worst.

You can use Rite to make of copy of any creature (token or not) no matter how it originally got into play as long as you can legally target it. (Can't target something Pro Blue, shroud etc.)

Creature tokens are just creatures with a 0 casting cost and are the color named when created. The ONLY time a token is treated differently than any other creature when it leaves play it arrives at the new destination (typically the graveyard) just long enough to trigger any effects then it ceases to exist.

All cards that interact with creatures will treat tokens the same as any other creature unless the card specifically says "token creature" or "non-token creature". If the card doesn't specify one or the other then it works with all.
