Official Rulings (8)
Effects that have already applied to the target creature will continue to apply to it. For example, if Giant Growth had given it +3/+3 earlier in the turn, then Cytoshape makes it a copy of Grizzly Bears, it will be a 5/5 Grizzly Bears.
This effect can cause the target to stop being a creature. For example, if it becomes a copy of an animated Blinkmoth Nexus, the printed wording will be copied and it will become an unanimated Blinkmoth Nexus.
If the creature copies a creature thatβs copying a creature, it will become whatever the chosen creature is copying.
The creature copies the printed values of the chosen creature, plus any copy effects that have been applied to it. It wonβt copy counters on that creature. It wonβt copy effects that have changed the creatureβs power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
At the end of the turn, the creature reverts to what it was before. If two Cytoshapes affect the same creature on the same turn, theyβll both wear off at the same time.
If the creature becomes a copy of a face-down creature, it will become a 2/2 creature with no name, creature type, abilities, mana cost, or color. It will not become face-down and thus canβt be turned face up.
Only the creature thatβs becoming a copy is targeted. The creature that it will copy isnβt chosen until Cytoshape resolves.
A creature may become a copy of itself this way. This generally wonβt have any visible effect.
