Forum:Archfiend palabyrinth vs shapesister

Archfiend Palabyrinth says to target 1 archfiend monster, banish 1 other fiend, and special summon 1 archfiend from hand/deck/grave with same lvl as targeted archfiend.

Shapesister is a continuous trap that special summons itself as a lvl 2 tuner monster, fiend, atk/def 0.

I know from other rulings that you can use fiend's sanctuary to summon a token that you can banish for Palabyrinth eff; I had also been using Shapesister to banish for the same eff. A recent opponent told me that I can't use shapesister NOR fiend's sanctuary for Palabyrinth, because "tokens cannot be removed from the field for a cost". I could find rulings that say that Palabyrinth is NOT a cost to banish, so tokens are legal. However, I can't find anything about Shapesister. So, question is: can I use shapesister to banish for palabyrinth? And if not, please explain why, I can't find appropriate info either way.
