Artisan of Forms

Creature — Human Wizard1 generic manaBlue mana

Most clones fire once and freeze: Clone and Phantasmal Image pick a body on entry and live with the choice. This one turns copying into a repeatable action, gated only by your supply of cheap spells aimed at your own creatures. Every heroic trigger overwrites the previous form and, crucially, preserves the copy ability, so the Wizard can shed one identity for another as many times as you can keep feeding it targeted spells. The copy has no duration and hands you no control of anything: this is a shapeshift, not a theft, so the body you become is your own creature wearing a new face, and it holds that face until you point another spell at it to become something else. That converts an aggressive pump-and-protect engine into a shifting toolbox: the same cheap cantrips and combat tricks that normally push damage instead assemble a menu of bodies, letting you snap onto whatever the board hands you and abandon it when a better shape shows up. The cost is honest fragility. It arrives as a 1/1 with nothing on it, and the trigger only answers your own spells, so until you spend one it is the least of your creatures. That dependency dictates where it belongs: shells already flush with cheap interaction, looking for a body worth aiming all that interaction at, rather than any deck that needs its two-drops to stand alone.
