Creature-land tokens?
Asked by Rahienn 11 years ago
You cast a land-creature spell (i.e. Hydroform or Vastwood Zendikon ) on a forest. Then you use a token ability such as Progenitor Mimic or Stolen Identity . Those tokens are creatures... and lands. Could they produce mana like a regular forest?
To make the above more clear - copy effects do not copy characteristic changing effects the object is currently affected by.
They copy only the base card, plus any copy effects that card is under. (So copying a Clone
gets you the thing that was cloned, not a 0/0 clone creature.

On the other hand, if you had a land creature in play, such as Dryad Arbor , it would be a copy of the card, and as such would be both a land and a creature with all the benefits of both.

You can have progentior mimic enter as a copy of a land-creature, but if that effect is imposed on the land, then the copies will all come in as just lands.

Actually, the creatures doing the copying would become copies of the lands you are targeting and not creatures at all (unless some other effect turns lands into creatures, targeting the new copiers, etc: it's confusing, I know). In the case of Progenitor Mimic, it would not produce tokens in later turns itself, because it wouldn't be a creature anymore.
