Severely need an official ruling on this...

[SynjoDeonecros]

Physical Double
Trap
Effect: You can only activate this card during your opponent's turn. Select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and Special Summon 1 "Mirage Token" in face-up Attack or Defense Position on your side of the field. The "Mirage Token" has the same Level, Type, Attribute, ATK, and DEF as the selected monster. Destroy the "Mirage Token" at the end of the turn.

Interdemensional Matter Tansporter
Trap
Effect: Select 1 face-up monster on your side of the field and remove it from play until the End Phase of the turn this card is activated.


Question: am I able to use Interdimensional Matter Transporter to remove the Mirage Token summoned by Physical Double until the end of the opponent's turn, thus resetting the 'destroy the Mirage Token at the end of the turn' effect on the card and saving the Token for further use?

I have tried Pojo's and School of Duel's forums, but have gotten nothing but unsubstantiated rulings and word-of-mouth, 'he said, she said' confirmations about it. I KNOW Netrep will give an official ruling on this, so I'm hoping I can finally put this matter to rest. Thank you.

There is no errata needed. Tokens are valid targets but for all your talk about them being treated as "monsters" they are still ultimately "tokens" and do not possess all the same characteristics that monsters do.

Also you have to realize that Kevin and the staff is going through all the card rulings and updating them. Considering the vast amount of effort they put in just to update 1 set (PGD), it's not that much of a stretch to understand why every little thing hasn't been updated yet.

Lastly postings showing you official rulings from the FAQ as well as the mailing list from one of the main UDE Netreps has been included in this thread so there is no arguement. That is the official ruling. When a token has been removed from the field from any reason, it doesn't come back. Does everything make 100% sense? No, but we accept it because sometimes the best we have to offer is "Because Konami Said So".

The question has been answered several times over under the current rulings. I'm sorry you don't like the answer. I get a headache trying to explain where "priority" comes from since there was never anything in the rulebooks that dealt with that, but I accept it as part of the game and the rulings are forthcoming. The thread is being locked cause otherwise we can go on endlessly like this.
