Creature — Shapeshifter
Oracle Text
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may have this creature become a copy of another target creature, 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.
