Carte Magic Supplant Form

Supplant Form 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

Return target creature to its owner's hand. You create a token that's a copy of that creature.

How it works : Supplant Form

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· 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 copied creature will also work.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you return a face-down creature to its owner’s hand, the token will be a face-up colorless 2/2 creature with no name, no abilities, and no creature types. (The face-down creature card will be revealed to all players as it leaves the battlefield.)

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature had {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 was copying something else, the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature was copying.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature is a token, the token created by Supplant Form copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    The token copies exactly what was printed on the creature and nothing else (unless that creature was copying something else or was a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
