Wow. body double is pretty crazy

I can see alot of discard engines running with it, just like ferrets deck.

Isamaru · 01-08-2007, 11:03 PM

That actually not that great, I'm thinking. Isn't Dimir Doppleganger better?

Yusuke · 01-08-2007, 11:03 PM

Psuedo-Reanimation in blue? So this is why we have Piracy Charm and Wistful Thinking..... Interesting. 5 mana for any creature in any graveyard. In blue.

God I love this set

EDIT: Meh? Meh? That's all you have to say? with the discard blue has been getting I can see this as very, VERY powerful. And Dimir Doppleganger is subject to burn very, very quickly. Sudden Shock anyone?

Coiled Flame · 01-08-2007, 11:04 PM

Crazy, yeah. Crazily expensive.
I'm sure someone will thing of a good use, but it won't be me.

JodoYodo · 01-08-2007, 11:04 PM

Hmmm, it looks like a 4U Zombify to me... sorta... please don't flame me!

Mortal Wombat · 01-08-2007, 11:04 PM

My only two complaints about this card is that its name is awful (it brings stunt doubles to mind) and that it's nothing particularly flashy, especially when it comes to a preview card. Regardless, this could have gone really well with Gifts. It's nothing incredible, just another copy card, but it works quite well.

TwoBah · 01-08-2007, 11:05 PM

This is great. I am now one step closer to making my copycat deck. So great!

Yawgmoth_Demon · 01-08-2007, 11:05 PM

Wow they created Blue reanimation and still managed to stay in blue's slice of the color pie.

Gareth · 01-08-2007, 11:06 PM

GOD !@$#!# wizards site broke down on me #@!$$!!

ahh leting that out of my system feels good, anyway this feels like a meh type clone not realy that impresive IMO.

Khift · 01-08-2007, 11:07 PM

Not going anywhere fast.

You know, there seems to be a pattern here. The first monday of previews they lead off with some amazing stuff. Get everyone talking. Then tuesday comes and we get Evangelize. And this crap. So, boo for tuesdays!

dragonmago · 01-08-2007, 11:07 PM

and yet...

another card that becomes criminal with momentary blink :P

It will see use, and it can get creepy

Monopoman · 01-08-2007, 11:08 PM

This card isn't that horrible. Its nothing exciting but it might see some use.

For the record...

Body Double > Evangelize

Jushi Yamabushi · 01-08-2007, 11:09 PM

Clone! Another Blue Clone! And this time I don't have to let creatures come into play! So my insane wall of counterspells and discards wins with your creatues! Exclamation Point! This will be added to my 4 of Copy-Cat collection. Hooray for blue discard! Hooray for control!

MykeXero · 01-08-2007, 11:09 PM

I think this is getting a bit more hate then it deserves.

Its like a Zombify but it leaves the creature in the GY. So you could i dunno, play Body Double THEN ressurect Akroma from the GY. Its also any graveyard, which can be fantastic at times as well.

Its not groundbreaking, but i dont think its all that terrible.

It is one of those cards you figure they`d of done already. Its elegant.
