I was on the receiving end in a 2HG match where one of my opponents used this and cloned his partners Mitotic Slime. And that was what won them the match.

Nice. And the fact that the Clone can be a non-targeting as sas sin of Legendaries makes it more versitile. However, I would prefer it if a Clone could copy a Legend properly instead of going gang aglay through how it interacts with the Legendary rule. It just seems wrong for Clones (and Dopplegangers, and other shapeshifters) to work that way.
Oh, and another matter, damn the autocensor, damn it to hell.

Amazing that it can get around shroud, even more amazing that it acts as a "destroy target legendary creature" card. I find it better than rite of replication as it is non targeting.

Can it copy transformed man-lands as well?

"Not worth a rare slot"
It can be whatever you like what's on the battlefield! So you can either copy a card under your control from which you know your opponent hates or copy one of his/hers to either match the power or send a legendary away.
And for it to be non-targeting gives it only more possibilities. For example: send away a Progenitus your opponent controls. Or use it against sliver overlord in a sliver deck to take over the overlord and after that all other slivers.
"and it lacks changeling."
Have you actually paid attention to what the card does??? For changeling: just copy a card with changeling. Otherwise just view it as a changeling that has found a form to stick to.

@n00bmag1 and anyone that wants to clone not creature type cards that are creatures at the time ie manlands: first Gideon Jura is a planeswalker you clone, he dieds "legendary rule / planeswalker rule" the rules say if you copy a manland while it is a creature; you get a copy of a land that has that ability but is not a creature until activated.
Cloned an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with it. I still lost, but ***ed my buddy right off. wicked card

Question. If you make a token that's a copy of Clone (say, with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker), does the token end up as a copy of whatever the original's copying, or do you get to choose again?
@Ragna: Not what I was asking. The question is, if I use something to create a copy of Clone, does that copy automatically copy whatever Clone was copying, or can I choose a new creature for the copy to copy? ...I'm not sure that was clearer. Oh well.

@littlebeast: A creature that becomes a copy of another creature doesn't keep the ability to become copies of things unless the card says it does (you'll notice that some of the other copy-type creatures have a "gains this ability" clause if they can keep changing.) So if you dropped a Clone and made it a copy of something, any copies you make of the Clone will also be copies of the first thing you copied.
The only way to get repeatable copies of whatever you want by using Kiki-Jiki with this is to play this and not make it copy anything. You'll need to have some sort of static toughness-boosting effect like Glorious Anthem or Leyline of Vitality to keep it alive though. Or you could use Quicksilver Gargantuan instead. Then your copies will have the ability to enter as copies of something.

What happens when you clone a Cryptoplasm that has shifted into an Engulfing Slagwurm? Does the clone become the Engulfing Slagwurm, the Cryptoplasm, or an Engulfing Slagwurm that has the Cryptoplasm's shapeshifting ability?
If my opponent brings out Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and I copy him with this card, do I draw 4 cards? And when they're both sent to the graveyard (Kozilek being a legendary creature and all), do we both shuffle our graveyards into our libraries, or would that just be my opponent?
Yet ANOTHER tool for my Shape Anew deck! I copy your artifact creature, cast Shape Anew and put down....Blightsteel Colossus. Come at me, bro.

There are 3 things wrong with that statement. First of all its 2011.... Second of all Phyrexian Metamorph stays an artifact. Meaning if it copies a creature its the most vulnerable type of permanent in the game! And third! Phyrexian Metamorph isn't going to get reprinted in a primary set either Ever, OR with in a few years.

There was a time when Clone was current in the same set as Vesuvan Doppelganger. It was always fun to put down a Doppelganger one turn, then next turn put down a Clone as a copy of the Doppelganger. Only ever once did I shoot the moon and get eight "doppelgangers" out by Cloning the Vesuvans, but man was it awesome to see when it happened.

here's a problem i ran into recently: if the copied creature has morph and is face-down, will the clone also gain the morph ability? or will it remain a colorless, nameless 2/2 with no abilities whatsoever?
Norrinthewary
☆☆☆☆☆ (0.0/5.0)
Clone copies the card for face value if the card is morphed it will not gain the morph ability
Also any copies of Clone will enter play as whatever clone has copied since once Clone has entered the battlefield it is 100% the chosen card and no is longer a clone.

The more powerful the current meta gets, the better Clone becomes. Which is why it's still one of the most powerful cards in EDH. Second to Metamorph now in utility, but just slightly less vulnerable. Run 'em both.

Question : What happens when I cast Clone and target my opponent's creature (Rotlung Reanimator for example), then my opponent sacrifices it in response (via Nantuko Husk for example)? Does my Clone die because the creature I chose to copy no longer exists or do I simply copy something else instead?
