I'm running around in circles on this question.

Here is the situation

Mycosynth Latice + Plainswalker are in play, I play Copy Artifact targeting the plainswalker. My question is this, does it gain the supertype plainswalker in addition to being an artifact and Enchantment? If it copies the supertype the same rules for plainswalkers apply to it as the original, and I would guess they both die to state based affects. What is making it difficult is the text on Copy Artifact:

As Copy Artifact comes into play, you may choose an artifact in play. If you do, Copy Artifact comes into play as a copy of that artifact. It's still an enchantment.


plz help, thanks

sasa_batora has it. To clear up your confusion about "It's still a...":


212.1c. Some effects change an object's card type, supertype, or subtype but specify that the object retains a prior card type, supertype, or subtype. In such cases, all the object's prior card types, supertypes, and subtypes are retained. This rule applies to effects that use the phrase "in addition to its types" or that state that something is "still a [card type]." Some effects state that an object becomes an "artifact creature"; these effects also allow the object to retain all of its prior card types and subtypes.

So it retains its Enchantment type, the copy effect adds the Planeswalker type in layer 1, and the Lattice adds the Artifact type in layer 4.

A Plainswalker is a card with Plainswalk, which is an ability. An example of Plainswalker:

It's actually pretty useful, because it give U a permanent way to deal with Planeswalkers thats not a counterspell. -Go, go, blue kill spell!

Ok, sorry.

Righteous Avengers is a better example.
