Ardyn, the Usurper Rulings

  • Jun 6, 2025

    Except for the listed exceptions, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else. It doesn't copy any information about the object the card was before it was put into a graveyard.

  • Jun 6, 2025

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

  • Jun 6, 2025

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

  • Jun 6, 2025

    The token is a Demon creature instead of its other types and is black instead of its other colors. Its base power and toughness are 5/5. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.
