Spark Double and Helm of the Host

Asked by Shimatzu 4 years ago

If you put Helm of the Host on Spark double (assuming it is a creature) does the copy made by Helm of Host copy the same Card as the Orginal or can you copy another card, like a Planeswalker?

Use double-square brackets around a card's name to create a pop-up. It's the best way to make sure everyone understands what's going on in your question: Spark Double , Helm of the Host

It copies the same card as the original. When you make a copy of something, you also take into account whether that thing is a copy of something else. For example: if Spark Double is currently a copy of Bear Cub then any copies of that creature will also be a Bear Cub (with no +1/+1 counters), if Quicksilver Gargantuan is a copy of Glory Seeker then any copies of that creature will also be a 7/7 Glory Seeker, etc.

Yes, if you're able to keep it alive somehow, making copies of a plain Spark Double that isn't copying anything will give you Spark Double tokens that can copy something else as they enter the battlefield.
