What it does

Flying

You may have this creature enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield with mana value less than or equal to the amount of mana spent to cast this creature, except it's a Bird in addition to its other types and it has flying.

Rulings

7 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-07-26

    If the copied creature has X in its mana cost, X is 0.

  • 2024-07-26

    You can choose not to have Mockingbird enter as a copy of another creature. If you do, it will just be a 1/1 Bird Bard creature with flying, an ability that didn’t do anything, and the opportunity for a good self-deprecating joke or two.

  • 2024-07-26

    If the copied creature is copying something else, then Mockingbird enters as whatever that creature copied, with the noted exceptions.

  • 2024-07-26

    Mockingbird copies exactly what was printed on the original creature, except it’s a Bird in addition to its other types and it has flying, and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

  • 2024-07-26

    If the copied creature is a token, Mockingbird copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token, with the noted exceptions.

  • 2024-07-26

    Any “enters” abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Mockingbird enters. Any “as [this creature] enters” or “[this creature] enters with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.

  • 2024-07-26

    Mockingbird’s second ability counts all mana spent to cast Mockingbird, not just mana spent on X. If there are any additional costs to cast it, the mana spent to pay those costs counts as well.

Every version of Mockingbird

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Mockingbird. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
