Sorry, another one. What about Duplicant and Vesuvan Shapeshifter?

Asked by Jo-Nai 4 years ago

Can I copy Duplicant with [[Vesuvan Shapeshifter each turn to exile a new target creature?

No, that doesn't work.

The key thing to know here (which is also what your previous question depended on) is that turning Vesuvan Shapeshifter face-up doesn't cause it to re-enter the battlefield. It's already on the battlefield, it's just changing its characteristics. Anything that would trigger "when [something] enters the battlefield" or anything that would normally be applied as something enters the battlefield (entering with +1/+1 counters, making decisions about abilities like Riot or Devour, etc.) doesn't happen.
