I'm wondering about the scenario where a token doesn't disappear. What are the possible consequences or outcomes in such a case? I'd like to understand the implications if a token remains active or visible. What happens if a token doesn't disappear?

When 'Doom Blade' resolves, the targeted token is moved to the Graveyard as part of the card's effect. This action triggers any abilities or interactions tied to the token entering the Graveyard.

Among these interactions, if the token had 'undying', it would indeed trigger. 'Undying' is an ability that often seeks to return a creature from the Graveyard to the battlefield under certain conditions.

However, once the State-Based Actions (SBAs) are checked, the triggered 'undying' ability will find no valid target to affect. The token that once existed has ceased to be, having been removed from the game state entirely upon entering the Graveyard.

A token, once it has left the battlefield, cannot return to change zones. This rule applies regardless of whether the ability that caused its removal was placed on the stack beforehand.

In the case of a token gaining the 'undying' ability, it doesn't alter the outcome of its eventual departure from the battlefield. The token, despite having 'undying', will still be sent to the Graveyard upon the resolution of a card like 'Doom Blade'.
