Rulings

  1. Aug 1, 2008 · Wizards of the Coast

    The ability that sets its characteristics is a text-changing effect.

  2. Oct 4, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast

    If the top card in the graveyard has any other undefined characteristics, then those characteristics are not acquired and the shapeshifter uses the characteristic from its own card.

  3. Oct 4, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast

    If the top card in your graveyard is a creature card, this card uses the listed characteristics, including color and any other types. But, this card keeps the granted ability in addition to those from the card being copied.

  4. Oct 4, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast

    When it changes forms, any "enters" abilities of the card it "copies" do not trigger.

  5. Oct 4, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast

    A copy of a Volrath's Shapeshifter will have the shapeshifting ability.

  6. Oct 4, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast

    If the top card in your graveyard isn't a creature card (meaning a card with the type Creature, which may or may not have other types such as Artifact or Enchantment), then it's just a 0/1 blue creature. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.
