Infinite Reflection

5/1/2012

If you control more than one Infinite Reflection, you can apply those copy effects in any order. Creatures you control will enter the battlefield as a copy of the one whose copy effect you apply last.

 Just so I have this correct.  Creature A on my side has IR on it already. I then put an IR on Creature B, making creature A a copy of B.  If I cast Creature C from my hand to the battlefield, do I get to chose which Creature (A or B) I want C to be a copy of? If so, then I am not really copying creatures, but the cards themselves right?

I think everything will enter as a copy of B.  You can choose which Reflection to apply, but copy effects take into account other copy effects, so no matter which one you apply, you're getting a copy of B.

But, that ruling is not very old, so maybe someone will explain what I'm missing.
 

in that case it doesn't really matter, since A is a copy of B, so both copy effects are the same

but if the creatures are actually different you could choose which one a new creature copies

for the scenario in the ruling, imagine the two IR's attached to token creatures or on creatures controlled by an opponent
