I think (I'm sure a judge will be along soon) that dark depths with the old wording says that the Marit Lage token is indestructible, without actually giving it the ability "Indestructibility".
So, although the token was indestructible, if you were to create a copy, the copy would not be indesrructible as this was just something granted to the token.
As it says in your quote, this makes no sense (especially given that the token has indestructible printed on it), so the new wording explicitly gives the token the ability so that it can be copied.
I suppose its something that never really came up before, as i) the card was never played, and ii) its legendary, so its rare that you can copy without both copies then dying.
Hmm... there's no such keyword as
indestructibility.
The example from the rules implies that "This creature is indestructible" is an ability (non keyworded), and the rules tell us that abilties are copyable characteristics.
The rules change is saying it is not a characteristic.
I just need to understand why it's not a characteristic.
