Clone

Description

Clone, designated as card number 49 in the 2010 Magic 2011 base set, is a blue Rare creature card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game system. Designed by Kev Walker, this card features the Shapeshifter type and carries a mana cost of three generic mana and one blue mana, resulting in a total mana value of four. As a 0/0 creature, its primary function is defined by its unique ability: you may have it enter the battlefield as a copy of any other creature currently in play. This mechanic provides significant strategic flexibility, allowing the card to adapt to various board states by mimicking the power, toughness, and abilities of existing threats or assets. The flavor text accompanying the card reads, "The shapeshifter mimics with a twin's esteem and a mirror's cruelty," adding narrative depth to its mechanical versatility. Collectors who focus on the Magic 2011 expansion often look for this card to complete their base checklist, as it is a staple of the set's blue creature lineup. The card's straightforward design and powerful effect make it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the format. Its inclusion in the M11 set code establishes it as a foundational element for those studying the game's history during that era. Whether used for casual play or collected for its design and utility, Clone remains a distinct entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog.
