Posted: 11 Apr 2013, 12:40. Unhallowed Cathar is returning to the battlefield (as Unhallowed Cathar) when it dies. It should only do this when it dies as Loyal Cathar (so to speak).
I have a Mercurial Chemister equipped with Illusionist's Bracers. I activate the Chemister's second ability, and a copy is created by the bracers. However, the copy deals zero damage, even if a non-zero amount is dealt by the original effect.
This is, if I'm not mistaken, in contrast to
"706.10. To copy a spell or activated ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell
isn’t cast and a copy of an activated ability isn’t activated. A copy of a spell or ability copies both
the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the
value of X, and additional or alternative costs. (See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”) Choices that are
normally made on resolution are not copied. If an effect of the copy refers to objects used to pay its
costs, it uses the objects used to pay the costs of the original spell or ability."
edit: I don't know why the Bracers don't receive a tooltip, but here's their oracle text:
"Whenever an ability of equipped creature is activated, if it isn't a mana ability, copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copy."
