Aquamoeba shapesharer power toughness switch rulings magic

[Berserk]

If a Shapesharer copies a Aquamoeba while its P/T is switched, what is the copy's power and toughness?

[Arix]

1/3. Copy effects only copy what's printed on the card, no outside effects.

[billy92]

what happens when you copy a permanent that is affected by a text changing effect such as Glamerdye, does the text changing effect change what is "printed" on the card technically and the copy will have the change or will the copy still only have the original text?

[Arix]

The copy will have its printed text, regardless of any changes made.

I'll narrow it down for you. Copy effects copy two things:
1. The text printed on whatever you're copying.
2. Other copy effects.

That's it.

but isnt that the point of text changing effect that it changes what is printed on the cards

[Arix]

No, it doesn't. Copy effects care only about the actual text printed on the card (or, more accurately, the Oracle text). That's it.
