Description

Mirror of the Forebears is an Uncommon Artifact card from the Commander 2017 expansion, designated as card number 54 in the C17 set. Released in 2017 by Wizards of the Coast, this Commander 2017 card provides a strategic tool for Magic: The Gathering players looking to adapt their board state. The card features a mana cost of {2} and a mana value of 2, making it an efficient inclusion in various artifact-heavy strategies. Its type line is simply Artifact, allowing it to interact with a wide range of game mechanics. The card was illustrated by Kieran Yanner, adding a distinct visual identity to the Commander 2017 series. The gameplay of Mirror of the Forebears revolves around flexibility and adaptation. Upon entering the battlefield, the controller selects a specific creature type. This choice dictates the card's potential during the game. For a single mana, the artifact can transform into a copy of a target creature controlled by that player, provided the creature matches the chosen type. The transformation is temporary, lasting only until the end of the turn, but it retains the artifact type alongside the copied creature's types. This mechanic allows players to simulate the abilities of key creatures without committing additional resources to summon them permanently. Collectors and players value this card for its unique interaction model and its role in the Commander 2017 deck construction. The card's design and functionality make it a noteworthy entry for those building comprehensive Magic: The Gathering collections. Whether used for competitive play or casual Commander games, Mirror of the Forebears offers a versatile option for artifact enthusiasts. Its place in the Commander 2017 set highlights Wizards of the Coast's focus on creating cards that support diverse playstyles and strategic depth.
