Phyrexian Metamorph and Batterskull.

Will it work as a combo? Would I be able to generate germ tokens if I copied Batterskull with Phyrexian Metamorph ? Would I also be able to return it to my hand since I just copied Batterskull ?

A copy of a card is an exact copy of everything written on the original, plus the special effects of any other copy effects that are being applied to it. When you use Metamorph to copy Batterskull, it's not a Metamorph anymore, it's a word-for-word Batterskull until it leaves the battlefield. So yes, you get a Germ and can use the self-bounce ability, because that's what a Batterskull does.

Actually, if you were to bounce the token Batterskull, it wouldn't go into your hand, as once tokens leave play they are removed from the game. (So you can't have tokens in your hand)

Sorry about that, for some reason i thought Metamorph turned into a token. Disregard my first post. Sorry. Rhadamanthus is correct.
