Official rulings

9 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

The activated ability that Evil Twin gains as part of its copy effect is a copiable value that other effects may copy.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

If the chosen creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

If 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.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

If 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.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

You 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.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

If 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.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

Any 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.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

Evil 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.

2017-03-14 · Wizards of the Coast

Unless 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."
