Clarion Ultimatum+Clone

[JeroenC]

What happens when I play Clarion Ultimatum targetting (among other things) a Jwari Shapeshifter. For the sake of the argument, assume the Shapeshifter iis now a Kazandu Blademaster. Do I get another Shapeshifter or another Blademaster?

Names get copied by copy effects, since Clarion Ultimatum specifies name, you search for Blademaster.



706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object's characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The "copiable values" are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, card type, subtype, supertype, expansion symbol, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by "as . . . enters the battlefield" and "as . . . is turned face up" abilities that set characteristics, and by abilities that caused the object to be face down. Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.
