Creature — Shapeshifter

At the beginning of your upkeep, each player mills three cards. You may exile a creature card from among the cards milled this way. If you do, this creature becomes a copy of that card, except it has this ability.
Watch Out
Copies don't copy everythingWatch Out
Copies don't copy counters, equipment, auras, or other external modifications. A copy of a transformed card copies only the front face. If the copy enters the battlefield, it triggers its own ETB abilities.
Layer ordering affects the final resultWatch Out
This card involves continuous effects applied in layer order. Type changes (layer 4) are applied before ability changes (layer 6) and P/T changes (layer 7). The order matters — a creature that loses abilities in layer 6 can still get new abilities from effects applied later in the same layer.
