Hare Apparent 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.
Official card text
When this creature enters, create a number of 1/1 white Rabbit creature tokens equal to the number of other creatures you control named Hare Apparent. A deck can have any number of cards named Hare Apparent.
Complete guide
Hare Apparent is a charismatic Rabbit Noble that proves there is always strength in numbers. This card breaks the standard deck-building limits, allowing you to flood the battlefield with a warren of tokens as your collection of Hares grows. It is a perfect addition to any white-based deck looking to overwhelm opponents through sheer volume of creatures.
What It Does
Hare Apparent has two distinct abilities. First, its deck-building rule overrides the standard 'four-copy limit' for a deck, meaning you can run as many copies as you like in a legal Magic deck. Second, its triggered ability checks how many other creatures named Hare Apparent you currently control at the moment it enters the battlefield. You then create that many 1/1 white Rabbit creature tokens.
How It Resolves Step by Step
When Hare Apparent enters the battlefield, its triggered ability is put onto the stack. When this ability attempts to resolve, the game performs a count of every other creature you control that shares the exact name 'Hare Apparent.' For every other Hare found, you create one 1/1 white Rabbit token. If the Hare Apparent that triggered the ability leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves, the ability still counts the other Hares you still control on the battlefield.
Common Mistakes
A frequent error is counting the Hare Apparent that just entered the battlefield; the ability specifically says 'other,' so the first one you play will produce zero tokens if no others are present. Additionally, remember that tokens created by this ability are named 'Rabbit,' not 'Hare Apparent,' so they do not count toward the total for future Hare Apparent triggers.
When to Play It
Hare Apparent is most effective when you have already established a board presence with its copies. Because the token generation scales exponentially with each subsequent Hare, it is often best to sequence these creatures back-to-back. It also synergizes well with blink or flicker effects that allow a Hare to enter the battlefield multiple times once its friends are already in play.
Interaction examples
RabbitIf you control one Hare Apparent and play a second one, the new Hare's ability triggers. Upon resolution, it sees the first one you controlled. You create one 1/1 white Rabbit creature token. If you then play a third Hare Apparent, it sees the two previous ones, creating two more Rabbit tokens.
Esper Sentinel
Ornithopter of ParadiseYou control an Esper Sentinel and an Ornithopter of Paradise. You then cast Hare Apparent. When it enters, its ability checks for other creatures named 'Hare Apparent.' Even though you control two other creatures, neither is named Hare Apparent, so you create zero Rabbit tokens.
