Simple question: Does this work?

When Pattern for Conquest enters the battlefield, exile target token you control.

It does not work.
This is because "the exiled card" (or in this case "the exiled token") depends on the card actually being there in exile. If it somehow exits exile, the card doesn't use last known information, it just stops working. Tokens vanish immediately once in exile, so this card would just never function.
You can see this reflected in the rulings on Exclusion Ritual:

If the exiled card somehow leaves exile, the last ability will no longer have any effect. (2011-06-01)
