Genestealer Patriarch

Genestealer's Kiss — Whenever this creature attacks, put an infection counter on target creature defending player controls.

Children of the Cult — Whenever a creature with an infection counter on it dies, you create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's a Tyranid in addition to its other types.

Genestealer Patriarch is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Genestealer Patriarch Rulings

  • Oct 7, 2022

    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 creature will also work.

  • Oct 7, 2022

    If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

  • Oct 7, 2022

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

  • Oct 7, 2022

    If you control more than one Genestealer Patriarch as a creature with an infection counter on it dies, each one's ability will trigger, and you will make two tokens that are copies of it.

  • Oct 7, 2022

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