What power / toughness is a creature created by Hulking Metamorph that had copied Urza, Prince of Kroog?
Asked by uth_matar 2 years ago
I have Urza, Prince of Kroog in play, then summon Hulking Metamorph copying Urza. I bury the orginal Urza due to the legendary rule.
Now I use the Hulking Metamorph to create a copy of itself. Since both Urza and Hulk have exceptions to the created copy's power/toughness, what gets created?

A 1/1 Urza, Prince of Kroog is created. The copy effects apply their exceptions as the copy is made. The ability you are using to create the copy is Urza's ability, which specifies that it is a 1/1. The object you are copying actually doesn't even have the Hulking Metamorph ability since it doesn't specify that it keeps that ability.
Even if you use Urza to copy a Hulking Metamorph that didn't copy anything and still has the clone ability, the token you are making is a 1/1 and so when the copy replacement effect takes place it sees that it is a 1/1 and retains that P/T instead of 3/3 or 7/7.
If you use Urza to copy a Quicksilver Gargantuan that you have somehow made into an artifact; you will have the choice of a 1/1 Quicksilver Gargantuan or a 7/7 that is a copy of something on the battlefield since the clone ability on Quicksilver Gargantuan specifies 7/7 and doesn't reference its own P/T.
