You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as a 0/0 Shapeshifter creature, and is probably put into the graveyard immediately.

Mercurial Pretender
Creature — Shapeshifter
The king went off to find himself. Imagine his terror when he succeeded.
Wyjaśnienie po polsku
Mercurial Pretender
Stwór — Zmieniacz kształtu
Jak działa karta?
Możesz sprawić, że wejdzie jako kopia innego twojego stwora; zawsze dodatkowo zyskuje zdolność za , która zwraca go do ręki właściciela.
Gdy ten stwór wchodzi na pole bitwy, możesz sprawić, że będzie kopią wybranego stwora, którego kontrolujesz. Niezależnie od tego, co kopiuje, ma też aktywowaną zdolność „: Zwróć tego stwora do ręki jego właściciela.” Nie kopiuje stanu takiego jak znaczniki, przypięte Aury czy nakręcenie; jeśli nie skopiujesz niczego, wchodzi jako 0/0 i najpewniej zginie od obrażeń bojowych.
Ważne interakcje
- Możesz wybrać, by nie kopiować nic; w takim przypadku karta wchodzi jako 0/0 i prawdopodobnie trafi od razu na cmentarz.
- Umiejętność nie celuje; możesz wybrać tylko stwora już znajdującego się na polu bitwy.
- Jeśli kopiujesz stworzoną tokenem istotę, kopiujesz cechy oryginalnego tokena określone przez efekt tworzący token; sama karta nie staje się tokenem.
Częste pomyłki
- Mylenie, że kopiuje znaczniki, Aury lub czy jest przekręcony/odkręcony — nie kopiuje tych rzeczy.
- Sądzenie, że może stać się kopią stworów wchodzących na pole bitwy jednocześnie — możesz wybrać tylko stwora już obecnego na polu bitwy.
Przykład
Gdy wejdziesz z nim mając innego stwora 3/3, możesz wybrać, by wszedł jako jego kopia; nadal będzie mieć zdolność : Zwróć tego stwora do ręki jego właściciela.

Mercurial Pretender’s ability doesn’t target the chosen creature.
If the chosen creature is a token, Mercurial Pretender copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield. Mercurial Pretender is not a token, even when copying one.
If Mercurial Pretender somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, Mercurial Pretender can’t become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that’s already on the battlefield.
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Mercurial Pretender 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.
The activated ability Mercurial Pretender gives itself becomes part of its copiable values. Unless the ability is overwritten by another copy effect, a creature that’s a copy of Mercurial Pretender will have that ability.
If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Mercurial Pretender), then Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen creature is copying (plus any abilities it gained as part of the copying process, if applicable).
Mercurial Pretender 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, etc. For example, if Mercurial Pretender enters the battlefield as a copy of a Profane Memento with Ensoul Artifact attached to it, Mercurial Pretender will be a noncreature Profane Memento with Mercurial Pretender’s added activated ability.
If the chosen creature has {X} in its mana cost (such as Genesis Hydra), X is 0.
