      Monster Tokens are instances of monsters generated by card effects. Since they are not regular cards, they cannot be put in a Deck, and once they are destroyed, they vanish without going to the Graveyard. Vanishing Monster Tokens are removed from the Duel, even though this removal is not explicitly stated by the card effect in question.
