Tokens hang games [Fix in 4.8]

Hi,

I just drew a card and my Teferi emblem wanted to remove a token and the game got stuck.

I have been hearing a lot of people mentioning games getting stuck because of killing/exiling tokens. Could you please look into this?
This has happened before too. Looks like it is back with a vengeance.

Thank you,

Valiant

    Hi,
    I also had a game freeze when a token creature was being removed. It seems similar to what other players are dealing with.  The teferi  ability to exile tokens is causing a hang up where the game is stuck. It happened to me when using elsewhere and my opponent was teferi if they helps. Thanks

    Hi Support Team,

    Same problem here. Tefferi A3 kicked-in  against N4 WW tokens and soft locked the game. Loop timer appeared but had zero effect.
     Similar or same token bug reported previously. Looks like it's not completely addressed still, need to go back to Dev. Cheers

    Same for me. Makes Teferi unplayable - extremely annoying!!!

    Sadly it is NOT limited to Teferi. Other ways of killing or exiling tokens make the game hang too sometimes.

    Ruinous ultimatum has just done it once for me and once against me in the current Rise of Adventure event.
    The freeze got me last weekend when Tefaris A3 tried to remove a token.
    This is just my experience from the last 2 weeks.
    This is beyond tedious now.

    This is a huge issue that is in dire need of a permanent fix.
    It's such a sad state of affairs to see these old bugs come and go between patches and updates.

    Please fix this once and for all  :'(

    I suspect three different token bug interaction. Are involved now teferi is one.
    2. Creatures that create tokens ( anything that happens to those tokens the game will freeze) that is completely seperate from teferi.   The third I am still trying to figure out why pw created tokens that die when hitting an opponents creature freeze the game.

    Hi guys,

    Sorry about the delay coming here.
    The fix regarding tokens will be available on the next release.
    For now, we advise players to avoid using and mainly reinforcing tokens in anyways.
    We will avoid Events with too many tokens as well.

    Thank you for your patience,
    Marcela.

    @Julie71 Iirc the one I cast killed a forest stack and an insect stack and the one against me was on a creature granted leader by Garruk 3’s second ability.

    Hi Marcela,

    I didn't see a fix mentioned in the release notes on MtGPQ. Was it addressed?

    Thank you,

    Fixes

    • Fixed some minor text issues.

    • Fixed an issue where tokens would lock the game when reinforced on multiple different occasions.

    • Fixed an issue where Celestial Ancient was being triggered with the opponent’s Enchantments.
