About Dack's Duplicate

Dack's Duplicate, Creature — shapeshifter, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Jun, 2014 in the set Conspiracy and was printed exactly in 4 different ways.

This card, Dack's Duplicate, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and combat-based tactics, particularly in multiplayer formats where dethrone can be maximized. While it offers versatility and the potential to copy powerful creatures with added abilities, other cards like Clever Impersonator or Phyrexian Metamorph may offer more flexibility or utility in certain situations. Whether Dack's Duplicate should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it's included in, as well as the overall metagame it's being played in.

Rules

05/29/14

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Dack’s Duplicate enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

05/29/14

Dack’s Duplicate 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), except it will have haste and dethrone. It doesn’t 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, and so on.

05/29/14

Haste and dethrone are part of the copiable values of Dack’s Duplicate. If another creature enters the battlefield as or becomes a copy of Dack’s Duplicate, it will copy whatever Dack’s Duplicate is copying and have haste and dethrone.

05/29/14

If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Dack’s Duplicate), then Dack’s Duplicate enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen creature is copying. It will have haste and dethrone.

05/29/14

In a Two-Headed Giant game, dethrone will trigger if the creature attacks either player on the team with the most life or tied for the most life.

05/29/14

Once dethrone triggers, it doesn’t matter what happens to the players’ life totals before the ability resolves. You’ll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature even if the defending player doesn’t have the most life as the ability resolves.

05/29/14

You can choose to not copy anything. In that case, Dack’s Duplicate enters the battlefield as a 0/0 Shapeshifter creature, and will probably die almost immediately, when state-based actions are next performed.
