Mishra, Eminent One 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

At the beginning of combat on your turn, create a token that's a copy of target noncreature artifact you control, except its name is Mishra's Warform and it's a 4/4 Construct artifact creature in addition to its other types. It gains haste until end of turn. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

How it works : Mishra, Eminent One

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Except for name, power, toughness, and types, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else or it is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, and so on.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied permanent 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 (with the listed exceptions).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied permanent is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that permanent copied (with the listed exceptions).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the target permanent will also work.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
