3/1/2010: Jwari Shapeshifter 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, or so on.

So I guess white...

[QUOTE=notassociated]What color is Jwari Shapeshifter if she comes into play and copies a Talus Paladin?[/QUOTE]

White. And note that it would not enter the battlefield blue and then become white, it would be white from the moment it touched the ground. It would, for example, trigger an ability that said "whenever a white creature enters the battlefield..."

The Talus Paladin formally known as Jwari Shapeshifter would get a +1/+1 counter for entering the battlefield, the orignal Talus Paladin would also get a counter because an Ally entered the battlefield under your control, and all of your Allies would get lifelink twice (once from each Paladin), meaning that when they deal damage you gain twice that much life. (this assumes you control the original Talus Paladin)

Thx for the help on the Jwari coloring, you two.

Aneximines, I'm pretty sure that lifelink stopped stacking since the new m10 rules.

correct, lifelink doesn't stack.

*looks up rules* Ah, interesting. Thanks for the correction.
