Jul 26, 2024 · The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else, except it’s a 1/1 (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its types, color, or so on.

Jul 26, 2024 · If the spell is countered, the offspring ability will not trigger, and no token will be created.

Jul 26, 2024 · The token created by the offspring ability isn’t “cast”, so abilities that trigger when a creature spell is cast won’t trigger for the copy.

Jul 26, 2024 · If the spell resolves but the creature with offspring leaves the battlefield before the offspring ability resolves, you’ll still create a token copy of it.

Jul 26, 2024 · In the rare case where the original creature is copying something else when the offspring ability resolves, the token enters as whatever that creature copied, except it’s a 1/1.

Jul 26, 2024 · You can pay an offspring cost only once as you cast a spell with offspring. You can’t try to pay it multiple times to get more token copies.

Jul 26, 2024 · Any “enters” abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any “as [this creature] enters” or “[this creature] enters with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.

Jul 26, 2024 · In the rare case where the creature doesn’t have the offspring ability when it enters, the ability won’t trigger even if you paid the offspring cost.
