About Mercurial Pretender

Mercurial Pretender, Creature — shapeshifter, designed by Karla Ortiz first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.74.

Mercurial Pretender can be a valuable addition to a deck focused on creatures with powerful enter-the-battlefield abilities or synergies, allowing for flexibility and duplication of key creatures. While it offers versatility, cards like Clever Impersonator or Phantasmal Image may provide more immediate value or utility in certain situations, depending on the deck's strategy and needs. Ultimately, Mercurial Pretender could see play in decks looking to capitalize on copying creatures for strategic advantage or protection.

Rules

07/18/14

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Mercurial Pretender 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.

07/18/14

If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Mercurial Pretender), then Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen creature is copying (plus any abilities it gained as part of the copying process, if applicable).

07/18/14

Mercurial Pretender copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing more (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, etc. For example, if Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as a copy of a Profane Memento with Ensoul Artifact attached to it, Mercurial Pretender will be a noncreature Profane Memento with Mercurial Pretender’s added activated ability.

07/18/14

Mercurial Pretender’s ability doesn’t target the chosen creature.

07/18/14

You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as a 0/0 Shapeshifter creature, and is probably put into the graveyard immediately.
