Dimir Doppelganger Question
Asked by Loonmoon18 5 years ago
I am sure that this isn't how it works, but when you use Dimir Doppelganger to become a copy of the creature, is it still a shapeshifter?

That's that I thought! I was hoping it would be the shapeshifter still since it's in my Sliver EDH deck. But I can still fetch it and play it when I need to.

Why would it still being a shapeshifter be relevant to a sliver deck?

It's hard to tell whether this is part of what's going on, but just in case: being a shapeshifter is not the same as having the Changeling ability. Dimir Doppelganger is just a shapeshifter, not a sliver or anything else. Mothdust Changeling and similar cards only count as all creature types because they specifically have the Changeling ability.

No. It would have to specify that it is still a shapeshifter.
