#Shinobird Tokens sometimes summon as "Token"

I was testing my Shinobird deck and noticed an isssue when it came to the field spell. Stars Align Above the Shrines should let me tribute Shinobird tokens for ritual summons and does work sometimes. When trying to summon the Shade Peacock, only 2 tokens of the 4 could be used as tribute. The only way to summon tokens on my field is with the Lv 8 Rituals, and it seems like a 50/50 on if the token summoned is a Shinobird Token or a generic token.

It looks like the Baroness tokens just turn into tokens

amd the Baron tokens turn into Shinobird Tokens

So, the displayed name of cards/tokens has no bearing on how card scripts work. The field spell is looking for a specific card ID, which it sees as a "Shinobird token". In this case it was looking for card ID 25415053, which is the token summoned by Baroness. The issue here is that ID 25415053 is aliased to ID 52900001, which is the token summoned by Baron, which means that token is treated as ID 52900001 instead of its normal ID 25415053, resulting in the field spell not recognizing the token properly for the effect.

That said, Ive swapped it around for the next update, so when the updater runs for Nexus, both tokens should be treated as ID 25415053, which is what the field spell looks for, for its effect.
