"Don't think of them as orphans! Think of them as 1/1 tokens..."

That would be an amazing MtG Enchantment Aura card: Mobile Orphanage During combat phase, enchanted creature may choose to attack any creature, player, or planeswalker. Anytime enchanted creature destroys another creature, create a 1/1 copy of that creature. _"Don't worry, we'll take real good care of them."_

You ducked up the rules text. That creature refers to the destroyed creature. Also can't copy players or plane wankers.

I think they got it right. If "that creature" refers to the destroyed creature, it means that if they destroyed a creature, they get a 1/1 copy of the destroyed creature, which flavor-wise is the destroyed creature's newly-orphaned offspring, right?

Yes. But the text does explicitly mention Planeswalkers and Players. It should say if a creature is killed this way...

Also I don't think you can say a 1/1 copy, I think it's a copy with base power and toughness 1/1 instead. ... something, something, layers. IDK, I'm not a Judge.

Technically, *they* "found" themselves... to be orphans. Shortly after we arrived on-scene. Helping them *something something* least we could do.
