A (Kinda) Storyline Question

Hopefully this is the right forum for such things.

Anyway, I have been using MTGdeckbuilder.net and I ran accross this article which raises some questions about planeswalkers and their practices that have not previously occured to me.

Now this is probably because I don't bother much with storyline in general so I thought I'd throw it out there to people who are more into such things.

The most common answer is that summoned creatures are magical copies of someone the planeswalker has seen or met. It's generally accepted that planeswalkers can't just take people from one plane to another without some really powerful magic, but creating temporary copies is doable.

That leads to some odd mental gymnastics vis a vis clone effects. Still, it's a reasonable explanation.

It depends on the point in time of the story. Pre-mending most creatures were the actual creatures. It took little to no effort to transport beings from plane to plane. Most creatures, or people, voluntarily fought (the Coalition v. Phyrexia). You can look at some books ( I look at Onslaught as my example) to see a summoner in action. The summoned forces are general paid troops at that time period.
