wotc15 Sept 2013
If the creature is an illegal target when the ability tries to resolve, the ability won't resolve. Artisan of Forms won't become a copy of that creature. It remains whatever it was a copy of.
wotc15 Sept 2013
The copy effect lasts indefinitely. Often, it will last until it is overwritten by another copy effect (if it copies another creature on a future turn, perhaps).
wotc15 Sept 2013
When Artisan of Forms becomes a copy of a creature, it's neither entering nor leaving the battlefield. Any enters-the-battlefield or leaves-the-battlefield abilities won't trigger.
wotc15 Sept 2013
Heroic abilities will resolve before the spell that caused them to trigger.
wotc15 Sept 2013
Heroic abilities will trigger only once per spell, even if that spell targets the creature with the heroic ability multiple times.
wotc15 Sept 2013
If another creature becomes a copy of Artisan of Forms, it will become a copy of whatever Artisan of Forms is currently copying (if anything), plus it will have the triggered ability.
