Playing vs broodscale combo, game id 925058826. With a leyline of the void in play, the blade still triggered when a spawn was sacrificed to create mana. This is not supposed to happen since the dying is replaced by exile.

This is not a bug, Leyline of the Void sends cards to exile instead of the graveyard, tokens are not cards, and therefore still go to the graveyard like normal.

• 108.2b Tokens aren’t considered cards—even a card-sized game supplement that represents a token isn’t considered a card for rules purposes.

Leyline of the Void {2}{B}{B}
Enchantment
If this card is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield.
If a card would be put into an opponent’s graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.

Wow, I cant believe a corner case like that is allowed to exist.
