For clarity, this should probably say ", except it still has trample". Otherwise people will think that it works that way anyway.

It is somewhat odd to have a Clone that's inherently bigger than most creatures it'll copy. It seems strange that half the time when I play this, the correct play will be to not copy anything and just have it be a 5/4 trample. That grants valuable flexibility - most Clones are dead on an empty board - but it makes the card less clear what its purpose is, and dilutes the message about using it as a copy.

The purpose of it /is/ a clone that you can play on an empty board. It's meant to be sorta, unusual.
