Is the Adventure half of cards a copiable value?

Asked by Delphen7 1 year ago

Just curious, can't think of somewhere it'd be relevant.

If I cast Clone, and it entered as Bonecrusher Giant, would it have the Stomp section of text in addition to Bonecrusher's?

I believe not. I'm sure one of the more experienced rules-ologists can provide a more technical answer, but basically, Bonecrusher Giant is an instant, Bonecrusher Giant is a creature separate from that instant, and Clone only copies creatures. Similarly, Clone can't copy Flamethrower Sonata  Flip, only Torrent Sculptor  Flip.

The rules text of Stomp isn't part of the rules text for Bonecrusher Giant.

In all zones except for the stack when cast as an adventure, it will only be a Bonecrusher Giant. Adventures will only have the adventure characteristics when cast as an adventure spell on the stack.

Relevant Rules:

716.2. The text that appears in the inset frame on the left defines alternative characteristics that the object may have while it’s a spell. The card’s normal characteristics appear as usual, although with a smaller text box on the right.

716.4. In every zone except the stack, and while on the stack not as an Adventure, an adventurer card has only its normal characteristics.
