Copy is an effect which produces copies of existing cards. When Copying living minions, this includes Copying all damage and enchantments. However, when Copying a minion that has been destroyed, only the basic minion is copied. Additionally, whenever the term "new copy" is used for copying a minion, it refers to copying the minion without its enchantments or damage on it.
Copy effects are usually paired with a Summon effect, to summon the minion into the battlefield, or a Generate effect, to place the Copy directly into the player's hand. In the case of ![]()
Faceless Manipulator, an existing minion is instead Transformed into the copied minion, and with
![]()
Drakonid Operative, a copy of the opponent's card is instead Discovered.
Copy effects are most commonly available to priests and mages. Paladins and shamans both have cards that "return a minion to life" or "resummon" it; this is considered a Copy effect on the card that has just died, combined with a Summon effect.
