Playmaker not copying Buffs

Playmaker, a new Warrior 3/4/3 card reads: After you play a Rush minion, summon a COPY with 1 health remaining.

However, the minion summoned is an entirely new minion, not a Copy, as it doesn’t keep attack buffs from cards like Akali, the Rhino.

Example: Restless Mummy, a 4/3/2 with Rush and Reborn, when drawn with Akali, the Rhino, has the statline 4/8/7. If you summon a Copy of this minion with Playmaker, the copy has only 3 attack, not the buffed 8 attack.

This is inconsistent with every other “Copy a minion” effect that affects minions on board.

If what Blizzard intended is to summon a copy of the original minion, then to be consistent with other effects it should be worded as “summon a new copy of …”

Should definitely be fixed in my opinion.

Seems like a bug, either the effect or wording should be fixed.
