Carte Magic The Cloning of Shredder

The Cloning of Shredder 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

(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.) I — Exile target creature card from your graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of it, except it isn't legendary and is a Mutant in addition to its other types. II, III — Create a token that's a copy of a card exiled with this Saga, except it isn't legendary and is a Mutant in addition to its other types.

How it works : The Cloning of Shredder

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Except for the listed exceptions, the token created by one of The Cloning of Shredder's chapter abilities copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else. It doesn't copy information about the object that card was before it was put into that graveyard or before it was exiled.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The token isn't legendary and is a Mutant in addition to its other creature types. This is a copiable value of the token that other effects may copy.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a card copied by the token had any "when this creature enters" abilities, the appropriate token also has those abilities and will trigger them when it's created. Similarly, any "as this creature enters" or "this creature enters with" abilities that the token has copied will also work.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
