Volrath's Shapeshifter Rulings
- Aug 1, 2008
The ability that sets its characteristics is a text-changing effect.
- Oct 4, 2004
A copy of a Volrath's Shapeshifter will have the shapeshifting ability.
- Oct 4, 2004
If the top card in the graveyard has any other undefined characteristics, then those characteristics are not acquired and the shapeshifter uses the characteristic from its own card.
- Oct 4, 2004
If the top card in your graveyard is a creature card, this card uses the listed characteristics, including color and any other types. But, this card keeps the granted ability in addition to those from the card being copied.
- Oct 4, 2004
If the top card in your graveyard isn't a creature card (meaning a card with the type Creature, which may or may not have other types such as Artifact or Enchantment), then it's just a 0/1 blue creature. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.
