About Mirror of the Forebears

Mirror of the Forebears, Artifact, designed by Kieran Yanner first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Treasure Chest and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.98. It's a key card in 2 combos.

A tribal deck focused on a specific creature type, such as Elves or Goblins, would benefit greatly from Mirror of the Forebears as it allows for versatile and unexpected plays by copying key creatures. While there may be more powerful cards for specific strategies, Mirror of the Forebears offers unique flexibility and can catch opponents off guard, making it a viable option for decks looking to surprise their opponents with unexpected synergies and interactions.

Rules

08/25/17

If Mirror of the Forebears becomes a creature the same turn it enters the battlefield, you can’t attack with it or use any of its abilities (if it gains any) unless it has haste.

08/25/17

If you activate the second ability of Mirror of the Forebears multiple times in a turn in response to itself, then each time one of those abilities resolves, it will overwrite whatever Mirror of the Forebears is copying. Mirror of the Forebears will wind up as a copy of the permanent targeted by the last ability to resolve. When the turn ends, all instances of the ability will wear off at the same time.

08/25/17

If you somehow control a Mirror of the Forebears with no chosen creature type, its activated ability can’t be activated.

08/25/17

Mirror of the Forebears becomes an artifact in addition to its other types. This is a copiable value that other effects may copy.

08/25/17

Once the second ability of Mirror of the Forebears resolves, it no longer has that ability.

08/25/17

You must choose an existing creature type, such as Vampire or Cat. Card types such as “artifact” can’t be chosen.
