Why is this card good?
Why it's great: A clone you can cast for and 2 life — meaning it slots into any deck regardless of color, including mono-red or mono-green builds that normally can't run clones. That Phyrexian mana flexibility is the whole pitch. It copies the best artifact or creature on the board, so it scales with the table.
Who wants it:
- Artifact decks — copy a mana rock, a Wurmcoil Engine, or your best utility artifact.
- Combo/value decks — clone a fellow player's bomb, your own Sol Ring, or a key engine piece.
- Commanders that care about clones/copies or want extra copies of legends (it copies a creature, then becomes an artifact too — note it's still legendary if the copy is).
When to skip it: Boards with weak targets make it a dead 4-mana do-nothing. It's reactive — if your table runs few impactful permanents, or you want guaranteed value, run dedicated ramp or removal instead. Best when there's always something juicy to mirror.
