A Token card

Tokens are special cards that can be treated as Digimon or Tamers. You keep them separate from your deck and can't play them through normal means. You can only play them using effects that say "play a Token."

When doing so, please make sure to have cards ready to use as Tokens. They can be any type of cards as long as they are easy to distinguish from your deck.

• Tokens aren't counted as part of your deck.
• The names, abilities and effects of Tokens differ based on the effect that played them.
• Tokens can't digivolve or become digivolution cards of other Digimon.
• Tokens cannot have digivolution cards.
• Any effect that applies to Digimon also applies to Tokens played as Digimon. Any effects that applies to Tamers also applies to Tokens played as Tamers.
• If a Token is deleted, trashed, returned to its owner's hand, or placed in the security stack, it is removed from the game instead. Tokens can't be placed in your deck, Digi-Egg deck, hand, or trash.
• Tokens remain in play, even if the card with the effect that played them leaves play.
