Schema Thief 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
Flying Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, create a token that's a copy of target artifact that player controls.
How it works : Schema Thief
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Each of the tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original artifact and nothing else (unless that artifact is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that artifact is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
