this card is similar to a one-use Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker ability, with two differences.
the first one being that you can copy a legend, thus containing a hidden Hero's Demise effect.
the second one is the way this token gets removed. since it won't be sacrified like you have to do it in regards of Kiki-Jiki, this one won't trigger "p.i.g."-effects, unless you have another option to get rid of the token.

It's also different from Kiki-Jiki because you can copy creatures you don't control. I'm surprised I don't see this used more often in EDH.

Hmmm...I assume that tokens grant the "enter battlefield" effects since they exact copy of creature?
If this true than i would be very happy to use this on my Hellkite or Thunder Dragon.
Oh and use this on Kamigawa dragons when you play casual.

Copying a nucklavee will get it back and a blue instant, talk about value.

I put this into my EDH deck to get rid of generals who are too tough to burn. Yay legend rule.

Copy a Nova Chaser championing a Flamekin Harbinger. Clone champions the Nova Chaser, Harbinger comes into play searching for something else you might need, get a free swing in with the Chaser, reset at end of turn.

Because Elementals are FUN!

"OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"Well...I concede"
"Same"
"Yup"


My playgroup's reaction to an EDH game when I did just that. Token player, green mana ramp player, unblockable, and Artifact-creature player. Me? Rakdos, Lord of Riots EDH. Because nobody puts Rakdos in a corner.

Darn it. This used to be such a good way of killing Legendary creatures....
