Combined with your Leader effect, you can KO a 4-cost Character with Uta to slow your opponent down

It doesn't copy whether the opponent's token is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on
