Mercurial Pretender and Lumbering Falls
Asked by Opifex 7 years ago
If I copy Lumbering Falls with Mercurial Pretender will it become a land at the end of turn?

From Gatherer for Mercurial Pretender:
7/18/2014 Mercurial Pretender copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing more (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesnt copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, etc. For example, if Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as a copy of a Profane Memento with Ensoul Artifact attached to it, Mercurial Pretender will be a noncreature Profane Memento with Mercurial Pretender's added activated ability.

Mercurial Pretender will actually be a land from the time it enters.
When a copy of a card is made, it only copies exactly what's on the card and nothing more. Lumbering Falls is normally a land, so even if you copy it while it's a creature, the copy will enter as a land.
