Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ

Legendary Creature — Human Bard

Three Dog wants a deck that copies the best creature on the table. It also suits a deck that makes an army of small creatures and attacks with all of them.

Whenever you attack, you may pay 2 generic and sacrifice an Aura attached to Three Dog. When you sacrifice an Aura this way, for each other attacking creature you control, create a token that's a copy of that Aura attached to that creature.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied Aura will trigger when the tokens enter the battlefield. Any "as [this Aura] enters the battlefield" or "[this Aura] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the Aura will also work.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If one of the Aura tokens being created couldn't legally be attached to the appropriate attacking creature (because of an ability like protection from enchantments), that Aura token won't be created.

If the copied Aura had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If the copied Aura was copying something else, the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that Aura was copying.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Since Three Dog's reflexive triggered ability doesn't target, Aura tokens created by that ability will be attached to attacking creatures you control with shroud.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original Aura and nothing else (unless that Aura was itself copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that Aura was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its types, color, and so on.
