Just trying to see if I have this correct. Bronzehide Lion dies and I have mimic Vat in play.
1) assume I have the option of trigger order and can either send lion back to battlefield as enchantment or turn him over to mimic vat
2) assuming it goes to mimic vat and I create a token end of turn it is exiled and would not trigger but if I should sac it or otherwise get it killed and the token having the command on it of "when it dies, return it to the battlefield. It's an aura enchantment with....." then returns for as many enchantments as I want. tokens hit the graveyard and the trigger takes place like tokens do so would it be returned before the state based effect removes it?
1. Yes, you can choose the order in which they resolve because you control both.
2. No, the token will cease to exist before the triggered ability resolves. While tokens do go to the graveyard and trigger "dies" abilities, state-based actions are checked every time a player gains priority. Being a triggered ability, it uses the stack, which means players get priority before it resolves. In the case of the actual card, your opponents can get the chance to exile it with graveyard hate. The token will just vanish because state-based actions will be checked in the interim.
111.8. A token that has left the battlefield can’t move to another zone or come back onto the battlefield. If such a token would change zones, it remains in its current zone instead. It ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked
For example, you cannot use Cloudshift to regen a token. It will be exiled, not returned, and cease to exist next time SBAs are checked.
