Are tokens considered permanents in MTG?
Absolutely! In the world of Magic The Gathering, tokens are indeed considered permanents. Just like any creature, artifact, or land you play, tokens stay on the battlefield until something sends them packing back to the ether (or, more accurately, out of the game since they don’t technically go to any traditional zone when they leave the battlefield). So, if you've got creature tokens, treat them like any other creature - they can attack, block, and trigger abilities just the same.

Short answer: Yes, tokens are permanents. They can be zapped, enchanted, bounced, and everything else you can do to a permanent until they're removed from the battlefield.
Tokens are 100% permanents. I've been playing MTG for years and let me tell you, nothing feels better than summoning a swarm of tokens and watching your opponent realize they have to deal with each and every one of them as if they were any other card laid on the battlefield. Treat those tokens with respect; they can win you the game!
