Unstable Shapeshifter

Hi,

Unstable Shapeshifter triggers from itself coming into play.
So when its CIP ability has resolved, does it have its ability twice?

David, Last year there was a thread about something similar. You said
US didn't get its ability twice when a second US came into play. But
you couldn't explain it because it was still being discussed. Did
anything come out of that discussion?

Unstable Shapeshifter
{3}{U}
Creature -- Shapeshifter
0/1
Whenever a creature comes into play, ~this~ becomes a copy of that
creature and gains this ability. (This effect doesn't copy counters on
the creature.)

Not that I know of... I can check again, but it may still be lost in the
shuffle-and-search, so to speak.

But will it get its ability twice?

As I said, nothing I know of came of the discussion, and last I -remember-
before that the answer was the same as Doppelganger copying itself, that
it would do so. I can ask, as I said. Note that, of course, the first time
it copies anything OTHER THAN itself, it loses this peculiarity - for
US, it loses it for good (though the second copy effect will still be resolving
in a moment).
