Clone and Phyrexian metamorph both have replacement effects that replace how they come onto the battlefield. As they enter the battlefield you choose a creature (or artifact in terms of metamorph), and it enters as a copy of that creature. The creature must be on the battlefield when the creature would enter.
For show and tell,
The current player chooses first, then each other player chooses in turn order. A player does not have to reveal the chosen card, so long as it is clear *which* card was chosen. After all choices are made, the cards are put onto the battlefield simultaneously.
Therefore, the clone will enter at the same time as the other creature. Since the other creature is not on the battlefield when clone will enter, you can not copy the other creature and either must choose another creature on the battlefield, or have it come in as a 0/0 clone.

I was told a few days ago that I couldnt do that and had to copy something already on the field.
So could I copy Emrakul or Progenitus with my metamorph or do I have to choose something else to copy?
If so or if not, what is the relevant rule stating this?
