About Nightmare Shepherd

Nightmare Shepherd, Enchantment creature — demon, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in May 2020 in the set Theros Beyond Death and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.50. It's a key card in 1 combo.

Nightmare Shepherd would be a strong addition to a black-based midrange or sacrifice-themed deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides value by creating token copies of creatures that die, potentially generating additional card advantage and board presence. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Nightmare Shepherd's ability to create flying tokens with additional synergy in a sacrifice strategy makes it a viable option for certain decks, particularly those looking to generate incremental advantage over time.

Rules

01/24/2020

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the creature will also work.

01/24/2020

If something becomes a copy of the token, the copy is also a 1/1 and a Nightmare.

01/24/2020

If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

01/24/2020

If the copied creature was copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.

01/24/2020

If the token is a copy of a creature whose power and toughness are defined by an ability (usually printed as */* or similar), the token doesn't copy the ability that defines its power and toughness. It remains a 1/1 creature.

01/24/2020

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

01/24/2020

The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it existed in the graveyard before it was exiled.
