Lazav, Wearer of Faces
Legendary Creature — Shapeshifter Detective
Oracle Text
Whenever Lazav attacks, exile target card from a graveyard, then investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
Whenever you sacrifice a Clue, you may have Lazav become a copy of a creature card exiled with it until end of turn.
Watch 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.
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.
