Essence of the Wild
Creature — Avatar
Wander too far into the wild and it may take you for its own.
Rulings (8)
Creatures you control don't copy whether Essence of the Wild is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
If you control more than one Essence of the Wild, creatures you control will enter as a copy of the one whose copy effect you apply last.
Replacement effects that modify how a creature enters are applied in the following order: first control-changing effects (such as Gather Specimens), then copy effects (such as the abilities of Essence of the Wild and Clone), then all other effects. This is a minor rules change to make Essence of the Wild and similar cards in the future work intuitively.
