Rulings (6)
- For spells on the stack with
in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value. - Leitmotif Composer's second ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.
- In the unusual case where Leitmotif Composer becomes a copy of something else while its triggered ability is on the stack but before it resolves, the token will enter as a copy of whatever Leitmotif Composer is copying.
- The token copy will have Leitmotif Composer's ability and will be able to create copies of itself.
- A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
- The token doesn't copy whether Leitmotif Composer 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.
