GG: Not sure about the wording really

I think the new wording is better, not sure if the rules support "copied creature" but we will all grok it. Also made it a shapeshifter as almost all these kinds of cards are

This guy is pretty awesome. Not as first-pick-bomb as Evil Twin because of the leaves play clause and I like that a lot. Created an interesting game state with Spined Leaper where I got to sac my mimicked creature to make him fly because he was going to die anyway.

This is great. Pretty much always kills it and you get to use the abilities in the meantime!

Kieran noted that he can't ever attack else the copied thing just blocks (even if it is smaller!) which is slightly awkward? So much fairer and more fun than Mind Control or Evil Twin, though. I like this card.
