Clarification on Copyable Values
Asked by QuamQuam 5 years ago
I got a question concerning copying permanents or creatures until the end of turn only with either Mirage Mirror , Renegade Doppelganger or Dimir Doppelganger
Lets say I let either of them become a copy of a Lazav, Dimir Mastermind who is copying Creature A.
Lazav dies due to legendrule. and Creature B Enters an opponents graveyard, which i let my copy get to copy aswell.
My understanding is that in the end everything goes back to the original creature/ Mirage mirror.
Am i correct here?
thanks =)

It remains a Legendary copy of Creature B named Lazav, Dimir Mastermind with hexproof and the special Lazav copy ability.
When the copy effect generated by the ability of Mirage Mirror or Renegade Doppelganger wears off at the end of the turn, it doesn't also make the copy effect from the Lazav ability end. That copy effect will stay until it's overwritten by something else.
Also note that Dimir Doppelganger 's copy effect doesn't have a limited duration. It will also last until it's overwritten by something else.
