The Commander
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may have Gogo become a copy of another target creature you control until end of turn, except its name is Gogo, Mysterious Mime. If you do, Gogo and that creature each get +2/+0 and gain haste until end of turn and attack this turn if able.
Guide
Gameplan
Gogo copies your best creature at the beginning of combat, turning two bodies into a doubled threat with +2/+0 and haste each turn. You build a mono-red board of impactful attackers and combat-trigger creatures, then mime the scariest one to maximize attack-triggered or ETB-style value and beat down. The forced attack is a feature, not a bug, since red wants to swing anyway.
Strengths
- Effectively gives you two copies of your best creature every combat for free
- Built-in +2/+0 and haste makes Gogo an aggressive, evasive-enabling threat
- Copies creatures that aren't legendary-locked beyond Gogo's own name, so no legend rule conflict
- Synergizes with attack triggers, double-strike, and damage doublers in mono-red
Weaknesses
- Mono-red color identity limits removal, card draw, and recursion
- Copy effect only fires in your combat and forces both creatures to attack into open boards
- Needs another good creature already in play to do anything meaningful
- Board wipes and spot removal on the copy target reset your engine each turn
- No inherent evasion or protection without support pieces
Key Cards
- Combat Celebrant — Copy it to gain an extra combat phase, then potentially repeat with multiple copies for explosive damage.
- Aggravated Assault — Untaps and grants extra combats, letting Gogo re-trigger its copy ability for repeated attacks.
- Port Razer — Copying it generates additional combat phases whenever it connects, chaining Gogo's trigger.
- Terror of the Peaks — A high-impact body whose damage doubles your reach when both Gogo and the original are on the field.
- Solphim, Mayhem Dominus — Doubles noncombat damage from copied creatures like Terror of the Peaks for lethal swings.
- Ilharg, the Raze-Boar — A powerful attacker to mime that also cheats threats in, amplifying combat value.
Upgrade Path
Add reliable extra-combat enablers (Combat Celebrant, Aggravated Assault, Savage Beating) and damage doublers (Solphim, Fiery Emancipation) to convert copies into kills. Improve consistency with mono-red tutors and rituals like Gamble and Jeska's Will, plus protection such as Heroic Intervention substitutes (Boots, Greaves) to shield your copy target. Tighten the curve toward high-value bodies worth miming, and include haste/evasion anthems so the forced attack always pays off.
