Gameplay and rules
Creature — Merfolk Spirit
At the beginning of combat on your turn, this creature explores. Then you may have it become a copy of another creature you control until end of turn. (To have this creature explore, reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)

Once an ability that causes a creature to explore begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the exploring creature after you reveal a nonland card but before it receives a counter.
wotc10 Nov 2023
In some unusual cases, noncreature permanents may explore. For example, if the creature card returned by Defossilize is somehow not a creature once it's on the battlefield, it can still explore. You'll take all the same actions, and you may end up putting a +1/+1 counter on the permanent. (Note that some effects target a creature, and those effects would still require a legal target to have it explore.)

If Deepfathom Echo becomes a copy of a creature that is copying something else, it becomes a copy of whatever that creature is a copy of.
wotc10 Nov 2023
If no card is revealed, most likely because that player's library is empty, the exploring creature receives a +1/+1 counter.
wotc10 Nov 2023
Some spells or abilities might cause a creature to explore multiple times in a row. If you reveal a nonland card when a creature explores and leave it on top of your library, then the creature explores again immediately afterwards, you'll reveal the same card again.

Non-copy effects that have already applied to Deepfathom Echo will continue to apply to it. For example, +1/+1 counters on it will still affect it.
