wotc1 Sept 2023
If something becomes a copy of the token, the copy is also a Reflection in addition to its other types, has haste, and isn't legendary.
wotc1 Sept 2023
Except for the listed exceptions, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that permanent is itself copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
wotc1 Sept 2023
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the creature will also work.
wotc1 Sept 2023
If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the stated exceptions.
wotc1 Sept 2023
If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
