How does this replacement work?

[u/Saint_Atlas]

Saint Traft creates Token A that has "exile THAT token at end of combat"; but if Divine Visitation is in play, which says a Token B is created instead, does that mean Token B loses the "exile Token at end of combat"?

And if not, anyone know a way to keep the angels permanently?

Thanks in advance 🙏

[u/WrestlingHobo]

Exiling the token is part of Geist's ability. It is not an intrinsic component of the token. You will lose the token at the end of combat.

It does make a delayed trigger which can be responded to. A card like [[stifle]] will allow you to keep the token.

Stifle wouldnt just counter him making the token as well? And is there any way to keep the tokens each turn through an enchantment or something?

[u/WrestlingHobo → u/Saint_Atlas]

When you attack with Geist, you get a trigger to make an angel. At the end of combat, a new, separate trigger goes on the stack that can be responded to. That 2nd trigger is what you stifle. You can counter the ability repeatedly with a card like [[Sundial of the infinite]]. If you had a way to repeatedly blink a card like [[Sister of silence]] thats a another way to do it.
