\nSo you may have read the Oracle rulings on Infinite Reflection<\/a> and wondered, “Why does this always win over other copy effects? Can’t I choose the order to apply these effects?”<\/p>\n
Well, the answer is that you CAN choose the order, but you always get the same end result. \u00a0Let’s say you control Infinite Reflection attached to a Runeclaw Bear<\/a>, and you cast a Phyrexian Metamorph<\/a>. When it resolves, you have two copy effects to apply: one for the Reflection, and one for the Metamorph itself.<\/p>\n If you apply the Metamorph’s ability first, then it will try to copy anything of your choice, but then Infinite Reflection still sees a creature entering under your control and says, “Hold on, I’m still gonna do something to that event!” So the Metamorph ends up as a copy of the Bear.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you apply Infinite Reflections first, the Metamorph enters as a copy of the Bear. Now, the Metamorph’s ability no longer exists, because it’s already a copy of the Bear, and therefore can’t apply to this event anymore. So as you can see, either way, Infinite Reflection comes out on top.<\/p>\n Today’s Rules Tip written by So you may have read the Oracle rulings on and wondered, “Why does this always win over other copy effects?
