@poprockmonster: Tokens are exiled after going to the graveyard, but they stay there long enough to trigger graveyard-triggered abilities. This means that, while Endless Whispers's ability would trigger, the trigger would fizzle because the token no longer exists. If the trigger had been a replacement effect however, (something like "if this creature would die, return it to the battlefield under target player's control instead") then the token would never go to the graveyard, and would thus be put onto the battlefield under the target player's control.
So in short: Endless Whispers doesn't work with tokens. (Making it an awesome addition to a token deck, since your opponents can't steal your creatures).
Also works really well in MBC where you can simply kill your opponent's creatures and proceed to kill your opponent with them.

How does this interact with tokens? From my understanding of tokens, they get to go to the graveyard, but upon hitting it become exiled, and since this waits until the end of turn I don't think it works with tokens. Meaning of course, that playing tokens against someone who isn't while having this out could get you their creatures but you get to keep yours.

Use it with Phage, the Untouchable . This causes your opponent to lose when it comes into play from the graveyard.

Bronze Bombshell works just as well. It goes to your graveyard when it's sacrificed, so you get to choose who to give it to. In fact, in multiplayer it's even better than Phage.

Yes, as long as you can do it before the end of the previous owners turn. Also, if Phage is the top card in their graveyard.
@Rakdos_Ninja
All creatures with toughness (defense) of 0 automatically go to graveyard. Noxious Ghoul is great at clearing tokens.

The combo above is one of my favorites. Throw in a Spawning Pit and Grave pact, and the game is just a lot of fun.

Bronze Bombshell + a sacrifice outlet makes this a one shot, even in multiplayer.

Could Guiding Spirit be used against this? To prevent a Phage from winding up on your side... and instead putting it on top of that persons library?
