Mirror-Shield Hoplite Rulings
5 most recent
- Apr 14, 2023 Backup confers only abilities that are actually printed below it. Any abilities that are gained by the permanent are ignored, including abilities gained due to a resolving spell or ability or copy effects.
- Apr 14, 2023 If a backup ability causes another creature to gain abilities, the creature with backup will still have those abilities.
- Apr 14, 2023 If a backup ability targets the creature with backup, that creature will get +1/+1 counters, but it won’t gain additional abilities.
- Apr 14, 2023 If a creature other than the creature with backup ends up as the target of both the backup ability and the copy, it will end up with two +1/+1 counters and it will gain the non-backup abilities twice. In some cases, the duplicate abilities will be redundant (two instances of flying, for example). However, if it picks up two triggered abilities, for example, those abilities trigger independently.
- Apr 14, 2023 If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a card with a backup ability or a token is created that is a copy of that card, the order of the printed abilities is maintained.
