Jun 7, 2024 · If the copied card has {X} in its mana cost, {X} is 0.
Jun 7, 2024 · If a card copied by the token had any "when [this creature] enters the battlefield" abilities, the token also has those abilities and will trigger them when it's created. Similarly, any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities that the token has copied will also work.
