Oracle Text

Offspring {4} (You may pay an additional {4} as you cast this spell. If you do, when this creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy of it.)

When this creature enters, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal a noncreature, nonland card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Watch Out

Replacement effect, not an ETB triggerWatch Out

This card uses a replacement effect ('as [it] enters' or 'enters with') to modify how the permanent enters. This is NOT a triggered ability — it can't be responded to, and effects like Panharmonicon or Torpor Orb don't affect it.

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.

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.
