Olag, Ludevic's Hubris
Legendary Creature — Zombie
As this creature transforms into Olag, Ludevic's Hubris, it becomes a copy of a creature card exiled with it, except its name is Olag, Ludevic's Hubris, it's 4/4, and it's a legendary blue and black Zombie in addition to its other colors and types. Put a number of +1/+1 counters on Olag equal to the number of creature cards exiled with it.
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.
ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
