If the copied permanent has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0. - 2022-06-10 · Wizards of the Coast
If the copied permanent is a token, the new token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token, with the exceptions noted above. - 2022-06-10 · Wizards of the Coast
Except for power, toughness, types, and the flying ability, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, and so on. - 2022-06-10 · Wizards of the Coast
Since the tokens are creatures, they can't attack or {T} until your next turn if they don't have haste. - 2022-06-10 · Wizards of the Coast
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the chosen permanent will also work. - 2022-06-10 · Wizards of the Coast
If the copied permanent is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that permanent copied, with the exceptions noted above. - 2022-06-10 · Wizards of the Coast
If you target an Aura with Astral Dragon's ability, no tokens will be created.
