Copy effects usually point one direction: you duplicate something good, yours or theirs. This one forks the duplication itself, and the two halves pull toward opposite jobs. Aimed at your own board, it's a blue clone template with a guaranteed floor: strip legendary status, staple on a 4/4 Hero frame, and you walk away with at least a solid body no matter what you copied. Aimed across the table, it does something stranger than removal: it leaves their creature standing and manufactures a shrunken 2/2 Coward version on your side. A copied threat with a nasty death trigger or a game-warping static ability arrives at a body too small to trade up, so you're borrowing the text while paying for it in stature. Both modes obey the copiable-values rule, which means you're duplicating the printed creature and its enters-the-battlefield triggers, not counters or auras layered on top; the size override just resets the frame around whatever the copy inherited. Calling the tokens Hero and Coward carries the whole thematic contrast without touching the mechanics, a clean way to make a two-line modal spell read as one gesture. The sorcery speed and five total mana keep this on the proactive side of the ledger: you copy something already on the battlefield, chosen and sequenced on your turn, rather than reacting to whatever lands on the stack.
