- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingYou can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Evil Twin enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature, and is probably put into the graveyard immediately.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingIf the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Evil Twin), then your Evil Twin enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen creature copied.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingThe activated ability that Evil Twin gains as part of its copy effect is a copiable value that other effects may copy.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingIf the chosen creature has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingIf the chosen creature is a token, Evil Twin copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created the token. Evil Twin is not a token in this case.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingIf Evil Twin somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, Evil Twin can't become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that's already on the battlefield.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingAny enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Evil Twin 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.
- WWizards of the Coast2017-03-14Official RulingEvil Twin copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below) and it gains the activated ability. 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.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-06-10Official RulingUnless a token is a copy of another permanent or was explicitly given a name by the effect that created it, its name is the subtypes it was given when it was created plus the word "Token." For example, if an effect creates a 1/1 Soldier creature token, that token is named "Soldier Token."
