Relinquished Tokens

Post #1 by redpogger » Sun Mar 24, 2019 2:52 pm

If a Relinquinshed tries to equip a token(2100 atk from Golden Apples), what happens to the token? Does it equip? If it does, what would be Relinquished's new atk? 2100?

tokens on the field are treated as normal monsters, so unless an effect specifies that it cannot be used on tokens, you can use tokens for effects as if they were normal monsters.
the only restrictions are that tokens cannot be face-down or used as xyz materials.
also, they disappear when they leave the field, so they can not be used for effects that require a card to be sent to the graveyard.

so, Relinquished can equip a token and will gain it's ATK and DEF. the token is moved to your spell/trap zone and will be treated as an equip spell card, but no longer as a token or normal monster.

Thanks for the reply.

So, does Relinquished take the token's 2100 atk/def(Golden Apples)? There are some people say that Relinquished's stats would be 0/0.

well, it takes the original ATK and DEF.
if the token happens to have 0 ATK by default and gained the 2100 ATK through it's effect, then Relinquished will get the original 0 ATK.

just checked The Golden Apples: it's default ATK and DEF is listed as "?" which makes it 0.
