<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cOh, I\u2019m gonna spell it out for you.\u201d \u2013 Deadpool XOXO<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n That is all CHIMICHANGAS! \u2026. You guys can insert me into 701.10h XOXO<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadpool\u2019s \u201cswap\u201d ability is a replacement effect that operates on layer 3. We will get back to our beloved Layer system again when explaining the interactions with other cards. So let\u2019s get on to the interactions as explained by the one with a DD-214 shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scenarios<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadpool\u2019s \u201cswap\u201d text box ability is a replacement effect as per 701.10h<\/a>. The swap takes place during resolution and before entering. If you decide to swap with Tivit, Seller of Secrets<\/a> or Orcish Bowmasters<\/a>, nobody will know which you choose until the Merc with a Mouth enters. You also get the ETB triggered ability when Deadpool enters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can\u2019t laugh at yourself, I will.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you choose a Clever Impersonator<\/a> to swap text boxes that is actually copying something else, Deadpool will have the text box of whatever Clever Impersonator<\/a> is copying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How about a 3\/1 Sakashima of a Thousand Faces<\/a> that is not copying anything? Deadpool will have all 3 abilities of Sakashima so the Merc with a Mouth can copy something else when entering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to the hand, cause the face is pissed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What if we made clones of Deadpool? Do we get Ladypool, BabyPool, Dogpool & etc? CR707.2.<\/a> Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, counters, and stickers are not copied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We apply Copy Layer 1 then Text Change Layer 3. Wade Wilson copies will enter play swapping text boxes again. The copies of Deadpool will copy the printed text box. They still copy the Legendary supertype of Wade Wilson, unless it is Helm of the Host<\/a> and shenanigans, but you still get to text swap before the SBA checks for the Legend rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bad Deadpool\u2026 Good Deadpool!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What if Wade has flash and decide to do a switch-a-roo with these creature-walkers? Deadpool will gain all the abilities in the text box but not the Planeswalker type! Hence the Merc with a Mouth is not going to be placed in the graveyard when SBA are checked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PS: You still need the loyalty counters to pay for abilities that have a cost of removing loyalty counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Psst.. If I do a switch-a-roo with Kaito, Bane of Nightmares<\/a>, give me a loyalty counter so I can be a ninja on yer turn will ya?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, that\u2019s just lazy writing >_><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If Deadpool swaps with a creature land like Inkmoth Nexus<\/a>, Wade can turn into a 1\/1 Phyrexian Blinkmoth artifact creature with flying and infect until end of turn. Deadpool is still a creature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wadaya mean Deadpool still a creature?! Remember Inkmoth\u2019s creature activation ability has the \u201cIt\u2019s still a land.\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n CR 201.5<\/a>. Text that refers to the object it\u2019s on by name means just that particular object and not any other objects with that name, regardless of any name changes caused by game effects. In Deadpool terms, when a card refers to itself by name, it only means \u201cthis object\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your crazy matches my crazy, BIG TIME!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Characteristic Defining Abilities, in Layer 7a<\/a>, also get switched over by Deadpool! Tarmogoyf<\/a> gets to be a lowly 0\/1 with Deadpool\u2019s glorious text box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faeburrow Elder<\/a> will unfortunately not have its CDA and be placed into the graveyard once SBA is check as it is a 0\/0 creature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what happens when you give an existential crisis a corporeal form!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What if Deadpool swapped text boxes with a DFC creature?! Deadpool gains the textbox of just the current face since Tovolar doesn’t have the characteristics of its other face. CR 712.8a<\/a> \/ 712.8e<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadpool can gain the Daybound or Nightbound ability. However, since he still has only one face, he can’t transform (CR 712.9<\/a>) and he ignores any effect that instructs him to transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tovolar with Deadpool’s text box no longer has Daybound or Nightbound, but some other effect like Moonmist can still transform it. If Tovolar does transform, then his textbox doesn’t change, because it’s still the same permanent with the same text-changing effect on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Special thanks to Monsuporn Lauhaphand<\/strong><\/a> Time to break the fourth wall\u2014and maybe a few rules. Let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
