Oh and this is also worded the way old versions of this effect were, right? Meaning you can instant speed bounce/flicker/sac with the trigger on the stack and they'll never get their token or their card, right?
Yep, this is correct. I’m sorta surprised they didn’t use the Animate Dead intervening if of “when ~ enters the battlefield, if it’s on the battlefield” to more closely mirror modern functionality, but I’m not complaining.
