Primal Clay

Artifact Creature — Shapeshifter

As this creature enters, it becomes your choice of a 3/3 artifact creature, a 2/2 artifact creature with flying, or a 1/6 Wall artifact creature with defender in addition to its other types. (A creature with defender can't attack.)

Critical Rulings

"If an object on the battlefield becomes a copy of Primal Clay, it copies the values determined by its enters-the-battlefield replacement effect."

— 2021-03-19

"While not on the battlefield, Primal Clay is a 0/0 creature card. It doesn't have flying or defender."

— 2021-03-19

"If an object enters the battlefield as a copy of Primal Clay, it copies the values determined by its enters-the-battlefield replacement effect, but its power and toughness are determined by the copy's own enters-the-battlefield replacement effect. This can cause you to have a 3/3 creature with flying, or a 1/6 creature with flying and defender, for example."
