Dance of Many Color= Blue Type= Enchantment Cost= UU DK(U1)/CH(U1)/5(R) Text (5th+errata): When ~this~ enters the battlefield, put a token that's a copy of target nontoken creature onto the battlefield. ; When ~this~ leaves the battlefield, exile the token. ; When the token leaves the battlefield, sacrifice ~this~. ; At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice ~this~ unless you pay {U}{U}. [Oracle 2009/10/11] Note - Also see Copying Objects, Rule 706. There are enough important rules there that they are worth reading first. Treat the token as coming into play as a copy of the chosen creature. If that creature normally gets counters when played, the token creature gets counters. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31] Destroying the creature that was copied will not cause the token creature to be destroyed as well. [Aahz 1994/10/21] The ability is targeted and checks the validity of the target when declared and when resolving. If the creature is not still there when the copy resolves, the copy ability is countered and no token is put into play. This card remains in play as a global enchantment with no token. [D'Angelo 1999/08/31] The mana cost is copied. This makes Dance of Many the exception to the rule that token creatures have a mana cost of zero. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01] The creature is still considered a token creature, so if you happen to copy a Drudge Skeletons, the Skeleton token would still be susceptible to Drudge Spell. [Aahz 1996/03/02] The "remove from game" triggered abilities are on Dance of Many and not from the token. [D'Angelo 1996/10/01] If Dance of Many loses its abilities, removing one from play won't destroy the other. Each Dance of Many is associated only with its token creature. If one leaves play, only the corresponding token is affect, not all tokens from all instances of Dance of Many. [D'Angelo 1997/05/19] Note - Also see Copying Objects, Rule 706. Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 110.5. New Search 1 total results This search based on the Oct 23, 2009 release of the Rulings.
