Can I copy a legendary artifact like mindslaver with saheeli, sublime artificer's ability?
Asked by dansanches-ac 4 years ago
Is this copy of the mindslaver is also legendary?

You can put double square brackets around a card's name to create a link. It's the best way to make sure everyone understands what's going on with your questions: Mindslaver , Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
The copy will be an exact copy, meaning it will also be legendary. You can make a copy of Mindslaver with Saheeli, but the game will force you to get rid of one of them before you get the opportunity to activate the ability.

Please link all cards using double brackets.
Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
Yes, when Saheeli, Sublime Artificer copies a target artifact or creature, all copiable values are copied. This includes the legendary supertype.
706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object’s characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The “copiable values” are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by its face-down status, and by “as . . . enters the battlefield” and “as . . . is turned face up” abilities that set power and toughness (and may also set additional characteristics). Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.
