Carte Magic Mirage Mockery

Mirage Mockery 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

Choose one — • Create a token that's a copy of target artifact creature you control. • Create a token that's a copy of target nonartifact creature you control. Entwine {2}{U} (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)

How it works : Mirage Mockery

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you cast the spell by paying its entwine cost, the tokens don't enter the battlefield at the same time. The token that's a copy of the artifact creature enters the battlefield first, followed by the token that's a copy of the nonartifact creature. Then any abilities that triggered due to either of them entering the battlefield are put on the stack.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else or it 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 and Equipment attached to it, and so on.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature is a token, the new token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
