Official rulings
Four official rulings apply to Doppelgang, newest first.
- If the copied permanent has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
- If the copied permanent is copying something else, then the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that permanent copied.
- Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when the tokens enter the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the permanent will also work.
- The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is itself copying something else; see below). They don'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.
