Jwari Shapeshifter 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
You may have this creature enter as a copy of any Ally creature on the battlefield.
How it works : Jwari Shapeshifter
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Jwari Shapeshifter copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing more (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature 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, or so on.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Jwari Shapeshifter), then your Jwari Shapeshifter enters as whatever the chosen creature copied.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the chosen creature is a token, your Jwari Shapeshifter copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield. Your Jwari Shapeshifter is not a token.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Any "enters" abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Jwari Shapeshifter enters.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Jwari Shapeshifter enters as a 0/0 creature, and is probably put into the graveyard immediately.
No other card is named in this ruling.
