Vesuvan Doppelganger Rulings
5 most recent
- Sep 16, 2007 Although Vesuvan Doppelganger's triggered ability is targeted, its "as this creature enters" ability is not.
- Sep 16, 2007 If another creature copies Vesuvan Doppelganger, the new creature will become a copy of whatever Vesuvan Doppelganger is copying except for its color, will copy Vesuvan Doppelganger's color, and will gain Vesuvan Doppelganger's triggered ability.
- Sep 16, 2007 Vesuvan Doppelganger copies a face-down creature, it becomes a face-up 2/2 blue creature with no name and no abilities other than the one it gives itself.
- Sep 16, 2007 Vesuvan Doppelganger copies the mana cost of the creature it's copying but doesn't copy its color.
- Sep 16, 2007 Vesuvan Doppelganger's triggered ability may cause it to become a copy of itself. A Vesuvan Doppelganger that becomes a copy of a Vesuvan Doppelganger (either itself or a different one) will gain another instance of its triggered ability. Each instance of that ability will trigger during its controller's upkeep. They'll all be put on the stack and resolve one at a time. The last one to resolve determines the Doppelganger's characteristics for the rest of the turn.
