Can you recycle tokens (e.g., with Red Rumble's ability)?

Answer
Ruling: Yes, you can recycle tokens. The token attempts to move to the deck but ceases to exist after entering that zone, just like when tokens move to any other non-board zone. The recycle action is still considered to have occurred even though the token disappears.
Sequence:
- The token is targeted by the recycle effect
- The token moves from its current zone toward the deck
- The token enters the deck zone
- The token ceases to exist after entering that zone
- The recycle is considered to have successfully occurred
Nuances:
- The comprehensive rules currently define recycling as applying only to "cards" and tokens are explicitly "not cards," creating a rules gap that will need clarification in future updates
- The ruling is based on design intent confirmed by developers, with the understanding that recycle rules will be updated to say "card or game object"
- This works the same way as tokens being "killed" - the action occurs even though the token poofs out of existence
