What happens when [Cryptoplasm] copies [S.N.O.T.] at the beginnning of upkeep? Does it start a new creature or can it combine with the other? Does it become independant at the beginning of your next upkeep?

Does it start a new creature or is it allowed to combine with [S.N.O.T.]? What about the next upkeep if you decide to copy something else? Does it detach? If [S.N.O.T.] dies what happens to all the creatures stuck to it (e.g. [Clone], [Cryptoplasm], [Phyrexian Metamorph])?

S.N.O.T., Cryptoplasm, Clone, Phyrexian Metamorph

Copying S.N.O.T. with Cryptoplasm won't really do anything at first. You can only stick one S.N.O.T. to another as its entering the battlefield, and Cryptoplasm's copy ability doesn't cause it to re-enter the battlefield again.

If you stick another S.N.O.T. onto the Cryptoplasm and then make the Cryptoplasm copy something else, the new copy effect will overwrite all its other characteristics. It will still be two cards stuck together, but it will otherwise be a normal copy of whatever you switched to.

The original FAQ for Unhinged doesn't have much detail beyond that the stuck-together cards are "considered one creature". I think it's safe to say that S.N.O.T. works like the host-augment mechanic from Unstable and if something happens to one of the stuck-together cards then it happens to the entire creature.
