Volrath's Shapeshifter
Color Blue
Type Creature - Shapeshifter
Cost Cost=1UU
Expansion SH(R)
Text(SH+errata):0/1. ; As long as the top card of your graveyard is a creature card, ~this~ is a copy of that card that has "{2}: discard a card from your hand." ; {2}: Discard a card from your hand. [Oracle 2001/08/24]
Note -Also see Copy Cards, Rule E.4. There are enough important rules there that they are worth reading first.
If the top card in your graveyard isn't a creature card (meaning a "Creature" or "Artifact Creature"), then it's just a 0/1 blue creature. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01] Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.
If the top card in your graveyard is a creature card, this card copies the card entirely, including color and artifact nature. But, this card keeps the granted ability in addition to those from the card being copied. [Barclay 1998/02/27]
If the top card in the graveyard has any asterisks (*) in the power/toughness, then those values are considered to be zero (see Rule K.10.5) unless the card also has descriptive text that sets the value for these asterisks, in which case the Shapeshifter also copies that ability and sets the values. For example, a Nightmare or Keldon Warlord will have their power/toughness set as appropriate. [DeLaney 1998/07/17] But a Clone, Vesuvan Doppelganger, or Shapeshifter results in a 0 value for the *. [D'Angelo 1999/01/26]
If the top card in the graveyard has any other undefined characteristics, then those characteristics are not copied and the shapeshifter uses the characteristic from its own card. [Barclay 1998/02/27]
If the top card in your graveyard is a creature at the time this card comes into play, it comes into play as a copy of that card and will trigger any of its own (or others) comes into play abilities as appropriate. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01] It will not apply any "as comes into play" text on the creature card, however. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
When it changes forms, you do not play any "comes into play" abilities of the cards it copies. [D'Angelo 1998/06/05]
This card's copy ability is different from other copy abilities. Instead of being a one shot effect, the ability is static and generates a continuous effect. The result is that even though its own effect removes the ability, when the top card of the graveyard changes you get to re-evaluate the continuous effects (see Rule T.8 for details) and the card changes to copy something else. [Barclay 2001/09/04]
A copy (such as a Clone) of a Volrath's Shapeshifter that is currently copying the top card of the graveyard will not have the shapeshifting ability. [Barclay 2001/09/04] A copy of a Volrath's Shapeshifter that is not currently copying anything will have the copy ability. [D'Angelo 2001/09/17]
Note -Also see Copy Cards, Rule E.4.
