Battlegate Mimic

Description

Battlegate Mimic is a creature card from the 2008 Magic: The Gathering Eventide set, carrying the card number 133 within the EVE series. As a Shapeshifter with a mana cost of {1}{R/W}, this card bridges the red and white color identities, offering a unique mechanical interaction for players who enjoy hybrid mana strategies. The card features base power and toughness of 2/1, but its true value lies in its triggered ability: whenever a spell that is both red and white is cast, the creature gains first strike and becomes a formidable 4/2 threat until the end of the turn. Designed by Franz Vohwinkel, Battlegate Mimic captures the whimsical yet eerie tone characteristic of the Eventide expansion. Collectors often seek this card to complete the base set, appreciating its place in the broader narrative of the Ravnica block. While it is a common rarity, its distinct artwork and gameplay utility make it a staple in casual formats and a recognizable piece for any Magic: The Gathering library. Whether you are looking to fill gaps in your Eventide collection or simply add a flavorful Shapeshifter to your deck, Battlegate Mimic offers both nostalgic value and strategic depth.
