CMC of a copied card

Asked by theDers 9 years ago

What would the CMC be of Artisan of Forms if she was to be targeted with a spell and becomes a copy of Worldspine Wurm ?

Yes. This is the rule of what it is copied:

706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original objects 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 as . . . enters the battlefield and "as . . . is turned face up" abilities that set characteristics, and by abilities that caused the object to be face down. Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.
