If a clone copies a Yedora Forest, what do you get?

Asked by Yesterday 2 years ago

I control a Yedora, Grave Gardener and a creature dies under my control. I choose to return it to the battlefield face-down as a Forest. I activate Thespian's Stage to become a copy of that Forest.

Do I just get a... permanent with no qualities, and no abilities other than the Stage's second ability?

Thespian's Stage will be a colorless Forest land with its second ability (the same thing it would be if it copied a regular Forest, except it won't have the Basic supertype).

Being a Forest comes with the intrinsic ability to tap for (any land with a basic land type can tap for that color of mana), so you can get mana from your transformed Stage.

The reason for this is that while the card is returned facedown, Yedora, Grave Gardener 's ability assigns it the type Land and subtype Forest, both of which are copiable attributes Thespian's Stage can inherit. Yedora doesn't give it a color, but that's irrelevant because lands in general are colorless.
