It makes most cumulative upkeep spells a lot better?

1UU at most I'ld say, maybe even 2U?

I get your beef with the "Wizards would never print this" argument, that discussion has been a bit... omnipresent recently, in no small part thanks to the discussion Velrun and I where having. Talking costs feels natural to me though. Of course things are different for different cubes, but as...

Me neither, but I added it because I thought it might feel bad for players that casting a legendary creature with this templating means you end up with no tokens. Conversely, being able to make a second copy of a cool legendary creature might be exciting.

Maybe you can make it a variant of this card? Spirit Mirror Something like "{t}: Add {G} to your mana pool. When that mana is spent to cast a green creature spell, destroy all tokens created by Beastmaster's Helmet, then create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's not...

You could just set it to creating a green 3/3 creature token (beast, ape, elephant, centaur, whatever flavor you like). Not as exiting, but still good for the role you want it to fill, and less unbalanced. Anyway, for reference, this what I consider the strongest green planeswalker: Garruk...

Ahem... Haste is tertiary in green (question 64) I meant.

You're usually playing ~40% lands in a deck, so on average you're hitting two targets on lands alone. I don't think you needs a lot of (colorless!) artifacts at all, just a few good ones worth getting.

In my mind I was comparing the following two cards. Mirari Minion Reflector I haven't quite figured out what the math would lead to, but copying a spell is somewhat comparable to copying a creature for one turn only? Maybe giving the token haste and exiling it at end of turn is the way to go...

Call from Beyond art from here (from the Kotaki blog). Spell Slink art from here. Bring it Back art from here. Blazing Breath art from here. Those were the four you were interested in, right? :)

Probably a good deal better than its source of inspiration though, since tokens are permanent. Still, sweet!

Darn. Is there a mark as unread feature? Remind me again tomorrow!

Looks like our experiences with Metamorph match up pretty well japahn. Only difference is that I didn't hate casting the card, because it does cool things. And that is why I called the card a trap before. All of the things you mention as downsides can be viewed as upsides, because it makes the...

Phantasmal Image is super good, and too cheap for what it does by about two mana :)

Selkies are Merfolk in MtG! :) Maybe make it a Siren with that art?

p1p1 Clever Impersonator gets the same gears turning but doesn't ignore the color pie.

I have to disagree. Colorless Wurmcoil Engine is, in my eyes, a bigger bomb because it adds out of color abilities to colors not normally having access to its abilities, without making a color commitment. That means I can drift into green ramp after picking up a colorless Wurcoil without locking...

That's fair, I'd define it more along the lines of the mtg wiki: For me not committing to a color does affect bomb status. For example... Wurmcoil Engine is the epitome of bombiness. Now, the black-shifted version is still a bomb, but I would not rate it as high as Wurmcoil Engine...

I actually did a 4*11 draft with 6 players last year, and that worked out really well!

Because clone effects in general are already good, especially in a format with a lot of really good creatures, and this one is both more flexible than a regular clone and cheaper. Also, it's colorless, so it doesn't commit you to a color.
