Do copied tokens have summoning sickness?

So, the answer depends. Is your token a copy of a non-creature permanent? Then summoning sickness doesn’t matter (it can tap immediately). If it’s a creature, then yes it has summoning sickness (can’t tap, can’t attack yet).

What happens when you copy a creature?

A copy of such a creature will acquire the copiable values of the original face-down creature, and become a 2/2 colorless, costless, nameless, subtypeless creature, but it will instead be face-up. Such a copy is unable to morph, and never acquires the face-up characteristics of the original creature.

Do copies have haste?

Haste was granted by the effect of Suspend and is therefore not copied.

Does a copy of a creature get counters?

It doesn’t copy whether that creature 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, or so on.

Can you tap an artifact first turn?

Yes, as long as it’s not a creature. Only creatures are affected by summoning sickness. If March of the Machines was in play or Ratchet Bomb became a creature by other means, you wouldn’t be able to tap it if it came under your control that turn. Otherwise, it can tap immediately.

Can you tap an artifact with summoning sickness?

Adam Ruprecht. All permanents have summoning sickness, but only creatures are affected by it. If you play a noncreature artifact, then make it a creature before it starts one of your turns under your control, it will be affected and unable to attack/tap.
