Doppelgang is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
For each of X target permanents, create X tokens that are copies of that permanent.
How it works : Doppelgang
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is itself copying something else; see below). They don't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
