CREATURE — OTTER WIZARD
Thundertrap Trainer
Offspring (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell. If you do, when this creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy of it.)
When this creature enters, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal a noncreature, nonland card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingThe token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else, except it’s a 1/1 (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its types, color, or so on.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingIf the spell is countered, the offspring ability will not trigger, and no token will be created.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingThe token created by the offspring ability isn’t “cast”, so abilities that trigger when a creature spell is cast won’t trigger for the copy.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingIf the spell resolves but the creature with offspring leaves the battlefield before the offspring ability resolves, you’ll still create a token copy of it.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingIn the rare case where the original creature is copying something else when the offspring ability resolves, the token enters as whatever that creature copied, except it’s a 1/1.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingYou can pay an offspring cost only once as you cast a spell with offspring. You can’t try to pay it multiple times to get more token copies.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingAny “enters” abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any “as [this creature] enters” or “[this creature] enters with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingIn the rare case where the creature doesn’t have the offspring ability when it enters, the ability won’t trigger even if you paid the offspring cost.
- WWizards of the Coast2024-07-26Official RulingMany creatures with offspring abilities have other abilities that refer to them as “this creature” rather than referring to them by name. This difference is for clarity purposes and does not change the function of any of these abilities.
