Trying to explain to Max why copied mana isn't under "spend only on..." restrictions, plus a typo, leads me to a creature.

Pretty interesting!

So clearly any Giant Growth effects affecting the original also affect this. What about Oakenform-type effects? I'd guess that if you use this to copy a 2/2 with a +3/+3 Aura and a +2/+2 equipment, you do get a 7/7?

What about Glorious Anthem? Copy a 2/2 under Glorious Anthem, and you get a 3/3... that's then also affected by Glorious Anthem to work out at 4/4. And then the second one of this card would be base 4/4, and the Anthem makes it 5/5?

Reminds me of Riptide Mangler with a Bonesplitter. It effectively has "{1}{u}: This gets +2/+0 permanently".

The Glorious Anthem example gives me the impression that this might be one of those cards destined to feature the word 'Legendary'...

Hmmm. I kinda want to exclude non-targetted effects like that; but I don't see a way to do so without referencig layers irectly. And were this a real card, the FAQ would alreasdy be extensive. Making legendary to avoid the worst of it.

Yes to pretty much all of that; amusingly I think that if it's a copy of something that's enchanted it'll indeed get the benefit of the enchantment; and will register to anything that cares as being enchanted - but without an enchantment attached.

Ooh. Hmm. I'm not sure it'll actually manage to copy the state of "being enchanted"/"equipped" if there isn't anything to enchant/equip it. I think the game state would rebound and in the next instant say "Is there an enchantment on you? No? Then you're not enchanted, stop being so silly."

add missing close bracket

Just putting "Legendary" on the type line of a clone isn't very productive; it only means anything if the clone isn't copying anything. Sakashima and Lazav both have additional text specifically allowing them to continue being legendary post-copy.

good point. Add it to the restricted list instead
