Firstly, to be clear, Scapegoats is placed on the field when it is activated, remains there until resolution, and then goes to the graveyard when the chain finishes resolving. It does not stay on the field after that.

The tokens it summons are totally separate things to the spell card itself. Chaining MST to Scapegoats' activation will in no way affect the resolution, it will resolve no differently to how it usually does.

Q: Since Scapegoats stays on the field in the spell card zone after it is activated can you destroy the Scapegoat spell card with a spell or trap and if so does it also take the tokens with it?

If you have Sheep Tokens from Scapegoat and in the next turn activate Non Spellcasting Area can the tokens be tributed for a Tribute Summon?

No. The "Scapegoat" card states that the tokens cannot be used for a tribute summon and there is no getting around that. Besides, "Non-Spellcasting Area" only states that monsters would be immune to Spells; nothing to do with Tribute Summoning. (Just an extra note, if the "Sheep Tokens" are Tributed for something other than a Tribute Summon, that's okay.)


Do you have to tribute for toon monsters?

If a Toon Monster is Level 5 or above, then you must Tribute the appropriate number of monsters (as you would with a Tribute Summon) to Special Summon them onto the field. It is not considered a Tribute Summon, however, so therefore you could use Tokens such as the Sheep Tokens from Scapegoat. Keep in mind that Toon World must be present on the field.For example, you have four Sheep Tokens from a Scapegoatyou activated the previous turn, and one Toon World active on the field. You also have one Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon in your Hand. You can Special Summon it by Tributing two Sheep Tokens because it is a Level 8 Toon Monster.


What happens if your opponent activates Scapegoat but you Chain Summon Limit?

Summon Limit restricts the number of times you can Special Summon. Scapegoat summons all 4 tokens at once, so it's a one-time summoning, so your opponent can still summon one more time for that turn.


Can you Tribute Summon using tokens in Yu-Gi-Oh?

It all depends on the tokens being used. They can be used to Tribute Summon unless said otherwise on the card. For example, the card "Scapegoat" says: "...The tokens [summoned by this card] cannot be used as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon."Take note of this last condition (a Tribute for a Tribute Summon). That means the tokens can be tributed for a Special Summon for monsters such as "Destiny Hero - Plasma".Tokens that can be used for a Tribute Summon include: "Stray Lambs", "Statue of the Wicked", "Fiend's Sanctuary", and "Dandylion".


What is a token in Yu-Gi-Oh?

A token is a marker representing amonsteron the field, though they can only be summoned by a card effect such as Scapegoat's. The token's statistics are listed on the card that summons them. They are treated as "cards" in almost every way: they can be tributed, destroyed, etc.The Spell Scapegoat puts 4 tokens on your field, but you can't use this card if you don't have 4 free monster zones. Use coins, dice, etc. to represent the tokens. Tokens, like monsters, can't be destroyed by Heavy Storm (Spell that destroys all Spells and Traps on the field). The 4 tokens count as Defense-position monsters guarding your Life Points.However, tokens cannot be flipped face-down (they're always face-up), and if an effect tries to remove them from the field (destroy, banish), then they simply disappear.Thus, Book of Moon (Spell that flips 1 face-up monster into face-down Defense position) can't target a token.Tokens CAN be targeted by Spells and Traps like Enemy Controller (except cards like Book of Moon).

What happens if your opponent activates 'Scapegoat' right when you play 'Fissure' to destroy your opponent's monster?

"Fissure" only determines what it will destroy when it resolves; this is why it is a non-targeting card. If "Scapegoat" were to be chained to "Fissure", then "Scapegoat" will resolve first, summoning the four 0/0 Sheep Tokens. "Fissure" will resolve next, and destroy the one with the lowest attack, almost definitely one of the tokens.


Can you play Scapegoat if you have 3 or less empty Monster card zones in Yu-Gi-Oh?

No, Scapegoat summons four tokens, not 'up to four'. It can't be activated if you have three or less empty monster zones, and if you activated it legally but something was chained to it, that made it so you had three or less free monster zones, then Scapegoat will resolve without effect.


What is the effect of the Yu-Gi-Oh card Scapegoat?

"Scapegoat" is a Quick-Play Spell card that allows the player to Special Summon 4 "Sheep Tokens" in Defense Position. These tokens are Beast-Type, EARTH-Attribute, Level 1, and have ATK 0 and DEF 0. The "Sheep Tokens" tokens cannot be tributed for a Tribute Summon. You cannot Summon other monsters the turn this card was activated, but you can still Set them.


In Yu-Gi-Oh why do tokens have no card text?

Tokens do not have effects, they are Normal Monsters. Even in the case of tokens with inbuilt restrictions such as Sheep Tokens from Scapegoat or other things like the damage from Ojama Tokens, these are lingering effects placed by the card that created the Tokens and not effects of the tokens themselves.


Can you destroy scape goats with spell cards?

'Scapegoats' is the spell card, and 'Sheep Tokens' are what it summons.Token monsters are treated as monster cards in almost every way. They can be destroyed in the same way, with cards like Lightning Vortex or Smashing Ground.


When someone has Scapegoats tokens on the field are they the only monsters you can attack?

Unless there is some restriction in attack, such as someone attaching "Raregold Armor" to one of the tokens, you can attack any monster on the field.


Can you attack a monster with Scapegoat's 'Sheep Tokens'?

Nothing stops the Sheep Tokens from declaring attacks. However unless they have something boosting their ATK, they can't kill anything, and will probably be destroyed themselves. (Due to a recent change, 0ATK vs 0ATK no longer destroys both monsters, they could not destroy a 0ATK monster by battle).


If you have Sheep Tokens from Scapegoat and in the next turn activate Non Spellcasting Area can the tokens be tributed for a Tribute Summon?

No. The "Scapegoat" card states that the tokens cannot be used for a tribute summon and there is no getting around that.

(Just an extra note, if the "Sheep Tokens" are Tributed for something other than a Tribute Summon, that's okay.)


Can you tribute any token monster for any monster?

Generally, Tokens do not allow themselves to be Tributed for a Tribute Summon (i.e. Scapegoat Tokens). However, there may be some cards that allow such actions, such as Dandylion.Incidentally, Scapegoat Tokens only restrict their use for a Tribute Summon. This means that it can be Tributed for the effect of a card, such as Cannon Soldier or Panther Warrior, as they require Tributes as a cost, not to Summon.For more information on the fundamental playabilities of Token Monsters, click on the "Related Link" below.

Can you use enemy controller and tribute a scapegoat?

Sheep Tokens created by Scapegoat cannot be used as tributes for Tribute Summons. They can be tributed to activate effects like Enemy Controller, or for the Special Summon of monsters like D-Hero Plasma, as this is not a 'tribute summon'.


Can you sacrifice double dude tokens in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes, you can. If a token can't be tributed, the effect that places them will say so. For example, Scapegoat says the tokens it creates cannot be tributed for a Tribute Summon. Destiny Hero Double Dude places no restrictions on the tokens it summons, so you can tribute them for anything that you could tribute a regular monster for.
