Yes. Specifically, if a token permanent leaves the battlefield, resolve it as for any permanent, including any triggers for leaving the battlefield or entering the new zone, but it then ceases to exist. Returning token creatures to your opponent’s hand is thus an effective way of dealing with them permanently.

You will never find “Return target creature card or token from your graveyard to the battlefield.” for two reasons: Even if there was a token was in the graveyard when targets were chosen, it would have ceased to exists by the time the spell or ability resolved.

When tokens are sent to the graveyard, do they trigger Grave Pact’s ability? Yes, tokens will be in the graveyard long to enough to trigger any relevant abilities (such as that of Grave Pact), then cease to exist as a state-based action.

Thanks! Token cease to exist in any zone other than the battlefield, but it will get to whatever zone first. So it will trigger dies triggers.

A creature token that dies goes to the graveyard, just like any other creature. Once in the graveyard (or any other zone), there is a state-based action that causes the token to cease to exist.

A: Tokens go to the graveyard as regular creatures, and are removed as a “state-based effect” when a player gets priority again. They stay in the graveyard long enough to trigger abilities, like the one of Soulcatchers’ Aerie, before they are removed.

Does this count as “cards” going to the graveyard, or must it be a non-token permanent or spell? Thanks! No, tokens are not cards and any effect that looks at cards will not see them.

A creature with indestructible can die as a result of anything that is not damage (Lightning Bolt) and does not explicitly use the word ‘destroy’ (Doom Blade). Damage dealt with infect is able to kill Indestructible creatures.

Usually, no. Some cards, like Vraska, Swarm’s Eminence, can make it so 1 point of deathtouch damage kills a planeswalker. Deathtouch destroys creatures by inflicting one point of damage, Planeswalkers are not creatures so they are not affected by deathtouch.

It doesn’t work. A damage event of 0 damage doesn’t count as dealing damage, and events that trigger off damage being dealt don’t trigger off a 0 damage event. In the case of Deathtouch specifically, the CR is explicit in that “nonzero damage” dealt by a source with deathtouch is “lethal” for game rule purposes.

Creatures with deathtouch deal damage during the regular combat damage step. Fortunately, if you block a creature with deathtouch with a creature with first strike or double strike, your creature will deal damage during the first strike damage step, before the deathtouch creature can return fire.

You can regenerate from Deathtouch by paying the regeneration cost. If a creature blocking or blocked by a creature with Deathtouch is dealt enough combat damage to destroy it, its controller does not have to pay regeneration costs twice to keep it alive.

702.2a Deathtouch is a static ability. 702.2b A creature with toughness greater than 0 that’s been dealt damage by a source with deathtouch since the last time state-based actions were checked is destroyed as a state-based action.

As we discussed a few weeks ago, protection does several things, such as preventing all damage from any source it has protection from. That means that deathtouch will not apply, as damage that is prevented is not considered dealt.

Deathtouch and multiple blockers? Yes, when you assign combat damage you only have to assign enough damage to the first creature to destroy it before you can assign damage to the next creature, and so on from there.
