If one deck is starting to bully the others around, well try and hit it in some spots where it doesnt damage the appeal but seems fair. As the format has grown in popularity, Wizards of the Coast has worked hard to understand the people that play it and design products meant to appeal to them
Anything else specified in the effect creating the tokens (such as tapped, attacking, "That token gains haste," or "Exile that token at end of combat") still applies
Shell often outpace other decks simply by being a 7/7 or larger that can be recast easily
With no counters on it, the Persist creature can respawn each time it's destroyed, so long as Celes is on the field

Yeah, I didnt think so
