Bloodforged battle-axe and Galea kindler of hope
Asked by Monomanamaniac 2 years ago
Ship this question concerns Bloodforged Battle-Axe and Galea, Kindler of Hope and how her ability grants the equipment the ability to attach on etb. If you cast the axe from the top of your library using her ability and it gains that ability, will its copies have that ability on them?

The ability granted by Galea is not a copiable value, so no, the tokens will not have it.
707.1. Some objects become or turn another object into a “copy” of a spell, permanent, or card. Some effects create a token that’s a copy of another object. (Certain older cards were printed with the phrase “search for a copy.” This section doesn’t cover those cards, which have received new text in the Oracle card reference.)
707.2. 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.
