Give your creatures some for of evasion. And after blockers have been declared play this on Virulent Sliver. If there are ten creatures in play, only one of yours has to get through to win. (Shifting Sliver is my recommendation.
@jokergius The overlord would become a copy of whatever sliver you did target, thus losing its sliver control ability. @deathtamoor It would only work with Shifting Sliver if you play Mirrorweave after blockers are declared, before damage is assigned, otherwise the Shifting Sliver won't have its evasion ability.
Remember, it turns all creatures into the target, so if you are planning to combo it with a creature ability, you either have to make the combo beforehand, or play the creature with the ability after you cast Mirrorweave.

So many uses to this awesome card.
For instance, Mirrorweaving an activated manland (like Mutavault) can act as a pseudo fog effect, as the other creatures will be turned into a land (since they haven't been activated), and then removed from combat.
I love this card. Easily 5/5.

I've seen too many comments with mistakes in their combos. And also no one is thinking in real evilness. Play this card with: Phylactery Lich: Opponent's creature will die and you'll have some good 5/5 creatures. Plague Spitter: It's like a party of exploding penguins. Dandân: Attack with your creatures, before blockers are declared play the Morrorweave targeting Dandân. If your opponent is not playing blue, you did it... Drooling Ogre: Then play an artifact and get all creatures in play. And obviously and not surprising; Nemesis of Reason

I'm suprised noone have mentioned Ball Lightning yet. Your opponent will only be able to block for 1/6 of the damage you dfeal and at the end of the turn all creatures will die, so he will be unable to retaliate (if he is still alive).
Uh... What happens if you play it on a Ink-Treader Nephilim? Does everything become everything else or does it all turn into Ink-Treaders?

To answer NARFNra's question, when you cast Mirrorweave targeting the Nephilim, Mirrorweave goes on the stack as normal. Then, a copy of mirrorweave is put onto the stack for each creature that could be targeted by the spell (nonlegendary creatures, creatures without protection from either white, blue or instants, creatures without shroud, etc.). The stack order of those copies is decided by the controller of the Nephilim. Then, each copy resolves, one at a time, turning all creatures into copies of their respective targeted creature. Each time a copy resolves, players get priority and can cast spells or activate abilities. Finally, the original Mirrorweave resolves, turning each valid creature into a copy of Ink-Threader Nephilim.

★★★★☆ (4.0/5.0)(4 votes)
@Lixinjian You almost got it right. No creature will become a copy of ink treader nephilim unless there is another inktreader nephilim on the battlefield because the first mirrorweave to resolve will turn all creatures into the targeted creature making all of the other mirrorweaves turn all creatures into that creature again. Thus ink treader nephilim will be a copy of whatever creature was targeted by the caopies last and resolved first off the stack, if it was an ink treader nephilim then all creatures are turned into inktreader nephilim which would bananas with another targeted instant or sorcery.

Opalescenced Doubling season. Eerybodies creatures become useless, and if you cast a spell that puts tokens onto the field (Saprolling symbiosis comes to mind) you get x*2^x saprolling tokens. And then you can atack with your hoard of 5/5 creatures unaposed.
Also usefull: blightsteel, the ultimate beatstick. Trample has no effect, since they are all 11/11, and as long s you have just one more creature than your oponent, they die. Since others can't atack, they dont stick around.

I love the creativity involved with this card. Truly endless possibilities and a delightful thought exercise to deduce what would happen when you play it on this or that creature.
It would go well in a deck with modular or graft; not only could you make all creatures 0/0, but the +1/+1 counters would give you stronger versions of the copied creature. For instance, you could make everything a blighted agent; some of your creatures would be 1/1, but you'd probably still have at least one unblockable 5/5 infect.

Man, fill your board with creatures, then drop this on a liege and have fun :D
@NARFNra: Simply put, the original Mirrorweave (targeting Ink-Treader Nephilim) is the last one to resolve, so everything will be a copy of the last creature targeted (because its copy will be the first to resolve).
@okfs87_7: If the last creature targeted is another Ink-Treader Nephilim, it's not that big of a deal. Since only spells that are cast are copied by its ability, it won't further copy those copies. Otherwise, any single-target spell would cause an infinite loop with just a Clone.

You guys are making this too complicated. Hero of Bladehold, or, for the economy version: Accorder Paladin. Say you have 5 creatures. Doesn't matter, 0/1 plant tokens, eldrazi spawn, Sage of Epityr, doesn't matter. At least one is Accorder paladin, though. Slap this down. and swing for a total of 35 damage, dealt in the form of 7/1. IF you use Hero of Bladehold instead (a bit slower, but immensely more lethal), with those same 5 creatures down, you end up with a grand total of (whips out calculator)... 95 damage dealt by 57/4s, and 105/1s. Not bad for something you can do, without too much of a stretch, or any ramp, on turn 5.
I run this as a 2of in my casual Simic deck. Throw it on a 0/0 with graft and it turns everything into a 0/0. My stuff has counters on it tho. Fun combo and Mirrorweave's versatility also lets me pull other tricks as needed such as when they drop a Pathrazer of Ulamog.
Turn 1 Creature Turn 2 Creature Turn 3 Crusader Turn four this ((After Blockers are Declared)) swinging for 12 damage, possibly game depending how hard you hit them already. That's not even trying to combo.
Or combo with Spark Elemental for either a big swing or a field wipe, or both.

This card combos best when targeting a Vanishing creatures. It instantly forces everyone to sacrifice all creatures without Time Counters already on them. Why? Any card with vanishing must be immediately sacrificed if it has no Time Counters on it, and Mirrorweave does not copy counters. This also circumvents regeneration, indestructibility, and everything else you can think of because it forces everything to be sacrificed. Now, for a more impractical application, try it out targetting Chronozoa. Every card without a time counter on it instantly dies, and spawns two new Chronozoa tokens (which will function regularly). I want to try it with dovescape.

Very, very mean in graft decks. Due to all the 0/0's, those decks make this card basically function as an instant speed one-sided wrath that deals with indestructibility and regeneration, And that's just one of it's uses. It can get even meaner when used for offense. And all for a measly four mana. This card is the definition of flexible, and can easily become insane.

@liXinjain what happens when i target one of them after that with a spell with storm? Does it copy infinity and thus draw due to calculator explosions killing anyone who tries to tabulate results? I target the original. Nephilim: K then it copies and targets each other Nephilim. Each other Nephilim: K then my copy targets each other Nephilim. Each other Nephilim: K then my new copy targets each other Nephilim. Repeat last phrase cause that is the last one for the rest of the game. That is without storm. With storm it goes Exponential in growing madness.
That is why a card should have this situation as a win condition.
"If a set of events trigger that repeat would cause a phase/stack to last indefinitely and no effects in that cycle say man or can be opted out of you win the game." "Errata: A repeating sequence that goes more than 10 times or takes longer than 2 minutes counts as infinite." k, I noticed the word cast now but i think there something that this works for. And the win condition should exist.

Hmm...
Run it in a golem deck. Play a Precursor Golem, then target any other golem with this spell. Stack the copies so that all creatures in play wind up as copies of Precursor Golem. Follow up with Cackling Counterpart or, if you have an absurd amount of mana at your disposal, a kicked Rite of Replication.
Mirrorweave + Cackling Counterpart is 7 mana in one turn. Mirrorweave + Rite of Replication is 8. Mirrorweave + kicked Rite of Replication is 13.
Even if you can only manage Cackling Counterpart and you only have the Precursor and the two token copies to duplicate, you still wind up with twelve creatures total. Nothing to sneeze at, I'd say.

I mostly play EDH, and rarely play a deck with White and Blue together, so sadly I don't get to use this beautiful card all that often. Whenever I have gotten to though, the results are generally phenomenal in my group's multiplayer games. I love that the White portion of the card creating uniformity is combined perfectly with the Blue portion of the card creating trolololol.
One of the funnier uses I've had for the card was against a lifegain deck. I had already stopped caring what life he was at, but it wasn't enough for the guy evidently. He played Storm Herd with his Suture Priest out, content to double his life once again. I laughed and played Mirrorweave on the Suture Priest, so that each other player got to make the lifegain guy lose life equal to his crazy-high life total times the number of creatures they each had.
