Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry rulings

2021-11-19
Mirrorhall Mimic copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below), except that it's also a Spirit. It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on. Most notably, if it copies a creature that's not normally a creature, it won't be a creature.
2021-11-19
If the copied creature has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
2021-11-19
If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Mirrorhall Mimic), then Mirrorhall Mimic enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen creature copied.
2021-11-19
If another creature becomes a copy of Mirrorhall Mimic, that creature is also a Spirit.
2021-11-19
If the chosen creature is a token, Mirrorhall Mimic copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield, except it's a Spirit. Mirrorhall Mimic doesn't become a token in this case.
2021-11-19
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Mirrorhall Mimic 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.
2021-11-19
If Mirrorhall Mimic somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, it can't become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that's already on the battlefield.

Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry keyword rules

Transform Rule 701.28

To transform a permanent, turn it over so that its other face is up. Only transforming tokens and permanents represented by transforming double-faced cards can transform. (See rule , “Double-Faced Cards.”)

Although transforming a permanent uses the same physical action as turning a permanent face up or face down, they are different game actions. Abilities that trigger when a permanent is turned face down won’t trigger when that permanent transforms, and so on.

If a spell or ability instructs a player to transform a permanent that isn’t represented by a transforming token or a transforming double-faced card, nothing happens.

If a spell or ability instructs a player to transform a permanent, and the face that permanent would transform into is represented by an instant or sorcery card face, or is a transforming token that was created with an instant or sorcery face, nothing happens.

Some triggered abilities trigger when an object “transforms into” an object with a specified characteristic. Such an ability triggers if the object either transforms or converts (see rule ) and has the specified characteristic immediately after it does so.

If an activated or triggered ability of a permanent that isn’t a delayed triggered ability of that permanent tries to transform it, the permanent does so only if it hasn’t transformed or converted since the ability was put onto the stack. If a delayed triggered ability of a permanent tries to transform that permanent, the permanent does so only if it hasn’t transformed or converted since that delayed triggered ability was created. In both cases, if the permanent has already transformed or converted, an instruction to do either is ignored.

Some spells and abilities refer to a “transformed permanent.” This phrase refers to a permanent on the battlefield with its back face up that’s also a transforming double-faced card or a transforming token. A permanent with its front face up is never considered a transformed permanent, even if it had its back face up previously.

Enchant Rule 702.5

Enchant is a static ability, written “Enchant [object or player].” The enchant ability restricts what an Aura spell can target and what an Aura can enchant.

For more information about Auras, see rule , “Enchantments.”

If an Aura has multiple instances of enchant, all of them apply. The Aura’s target must follow the restrictions from all the instances of enchant. The Aura can enchant only objects or players that match all of its enchant abilities.

Auras that can enchant a player can target and be attached to players. Such Auras can’t target permanents and can’t be attached to permanents.

Disturb Rule 702.146

Disturb is an ability found on the front face of some transforming double-faced cards (see rule , “Double-Faced Cards”). “Disturb [cost]” means “You may cast this card transformed from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost.” See rule .

A resolving transforming double-faced spell that was cast using its disturb ability enters the battlefield with its back face up.
