I'm playing a game and encountered a situation where a spell or ability created a token. I'm wondering what happens in this case? Does it affect the gameplay in any specific way?

Rule 111.5 states that if a spell or ability is intended to create a token, but there is a rule or effect in place that prevents a permanent with one or more of the token's characteristics from entering the battlefield, the token will not be created.

Additionally, tokens are also subject to rules or effects that specifically target their card type or subtype.

This means that if a card's ability tries to generate a token but there is a condition that makes it impossible for a permanent with those characteristics to exist on the battlefield, the token simply won't materialize.

For example, if a card tries to create a black creature token, but there is an effect in play that prevents black creatures from entering the battlefield, the token will not be created.
