That's correct; token creatures can be sacrificed, or targetted by anything
that targets creatures - just not by stuff, like the -laces, that targets cards.

>The big thing about token creatures is they can't be regenerated.

That's *not* correct; if you think a second, you'll remember that regenerated
things never got to the graveyard in the first place, weren't killed, and
weren't destroyed. Token creatures can be regenerated just fine, since
regeneration means they didn't get to the graveyard and didn't get a chance
to evaporate...

... but they cannot be Night Soiled, or Resurrected, or Animate Dead-ed,
or Eaten by the Eater of the Dead, etc., since those all look for creatures
already in the graveyard...
