Asked by raphael75 5 years ago
If I Act of Treason a creature and then cast Quasiduplicate on the creature I took control of, will the token also have haste? Thanks.

Copy effects copy what is known as a permanent's "copiable values". Abilities granted by continuous effects, such as the one created granting haste by Act of Treason are not part of a card's copiable values.
706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object’s 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 its face-down status, and by “as . . . enters the battlefield” and “as . . . is turned face up” abilities that set power and toughness (and may also set additional characteristics). Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.
