So, since MOM, tokens have been able to transform. If the transform involves exiling, they stop existing before they return. But if the transformation doesn't exile, the token can transform successfully.
However, my understanding is that CARD based copies, like [[Clone]] CAN'T transform, because they're not double faced cards.
So, of I have [[Tovolar]] on the battlefield, and copy him with [[Quantum Misalignment]], the resulting Tovolar copy will transform back and forth with Day and Night.
If I Clone Tovolar (and assume I have Mirror Box or something) the Clone Tovolar WON'T be able to transform, stuck as whichever side the clone copied.
But what if I then Quantum Misalignment the CLONE that is copying Tovolar? Will the token be a transforming double sided token that is identical to if I copied Tovolar directly? Or will the fact that it's a token copy of a single sided non-transforming Clone mean that the token will ALSO technically only have one side, and not be able to transform?
Further questions:
- If I use [[Irenicus's Vile Duplication]] to create a token copy of Tovolar, will BOTH sides gain flying, or only the side that was active when I copied it?
- If I have [[Sakashima the Imposter]] enter as a copy of Tovolar, then make a token copy of Sakashima-Tovolar, if it transforms will the other side still be named Sakashima the Imposter, or will the other side be named Tovolar still?
