Oracle Text

At the beginning of combat on your turn, this creature explores. Then you may have it become a copy of another creature you control until end of turn. (To have this creature , reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)

Once Deepfathom Echo becomes a copy of another creature, it no longer has its triggered ability until end of turn.

11/10/2023·wotc

Once an ability that causes a creature to explore begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the exploring creature after you reveal a nonland card but before it receives a counter.

11/10/2023·wotc

In some unusual cases, noncreature permanents may explore. For example, if the creature card returned by Defossilize is somehow not a creature once it's on the battlefield, it can still explore. You'll take all the same actions, and you may end up putting a +1/+1 counter on the permanent. (Note that some effects target a creature, and those effects would still require a legal target to have it explore.)
