They make tapped-and-attacking creature tokens! Well, first let’s look at the Warleader, since those cards are both in Standard so it’s likely you could actually see a turn 4 Warleader followed by a turn 5 Visitation in Standard. All Visitation does is replace whatever color, abilities, P\/T, and type the effect SAID the tokens should have, with “white”, “flying and vigilance”, “4\/4”, and “Angel”. So in this case, we change “create two 1\/1 white Cat creature tokens with lifelink that are tapped and attacking” to “create two 4\/4 white Angel creature tokens with Flying and Vigilance that are tapped and attacking”. The tokens are still tapped despite Vigilance, because THAT part of the effect isn’t mucked with. Same with Kari Zev; we replace all the CHARACTERISTICS of the would-be token with “4\/4 white Angel creature token with flying and vigilance”; it isn’t a 2\/1, it isn’t red, it isn’t a Monkey, it isn’t Legendary, and it isn’t named Ragavan. And finally, that little bit about “Exile that token at end of combat”? That’s still a thing- Visitation might alter the characteristics of the token, but it’s still created by the same effect (as we saw with the token being created tapped and attacking, since those aren’t characteristics!), so the delayed ‘exile this token’ trigger can and will<\/strong> still find it at the end of combat. Your poor vigilant token won’t ever get a chance to block- but hey, you’re attacking for 5 instead of 3!<\/p>\n
