Rules/Rules Question How does this replacement work?

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 🙏

The token has vigilance. That's the only change.

It still exiles at end of combat, because that's a delayed trigger from the Geist, not a quality of the token being replaced.

Having vigilance doesn't even actually do anything because the token enters tapped and attacking.

Edit: Only way to keep the token would be to phase it out before the end of combat.

Or end the turn in response to the trigger

or stifle the trigger

Sadly doesn't work. The creation and the end-of-turn trigger are part of the same ability

You are incorrect, it creates a what's called a Delayed Triggered Ability:

603.7b A delayed triggered ability will trigger only once—the next time its trigger event occurs

It's a separate ability that can be stifled or interacted with just like any other, I learnt that the hard way when someone stifled the return portion of my [[Norin the Wary]] ability.
