5 most recent
- Apr 27, 2018 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 chosen creature will also work.
- Apr 27, 2018 If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
- Apr 27, 2018 If the copied creature is a token, the token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token.
- Apr 27, 2018 If the copied creature is copying something else (for example, if the copied creature is a Clone), then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.
- Apr 27, 2018 If the equipped creature leaves the battlefield before the triggered ability of Helm of the Host resolves, or if there is no equipped creature, no token is created. However, if Helm of the Host leaves the battlefield while its triggered ability is on the stack, a token will be created of the creature it last equipped. If that creature has also left the battlefield, its last known information is used to determine what the token looks like.
