RULINGS

• 2007-07-15 Any "enters" abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Clone enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.
• 2007-07-15 If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Clone), then your Clone enters as whatever the chosen creature copied.
• 2007-07-15 If the chosen creature is a token, Clone copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield. Clone is not a token.
• 2009-10-01 If the chosen creature has {X} in its mana cost (such as Protean Hydra), X is considered to be zero.
• 2012-07-01 If Clone somehow enters at the same time as another creature, Clone can't become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that's already on the battlefield.
• 2012-07-01 Clone copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing more (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). 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.
• 2012-07-01 You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Clone enters as a 0/0 Shapeshifter creature, and is probably put into the graveyard immediately.
• 2013-07-01 Clone's ability doesn't target the chosen creature.
