Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki

The design lesson every three-mana midrange card since has quietly absorbed: a value engine that pays you three times in three different currencies, then flips into a repeatable copy machine. Chapter one is a body plus incremental Treasure; chapter two is a rummage that filters flood or fixes a color; chapter three hands you Reflection of Kiki-Jiki, a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker on a stick without the legendary tax, priced onto a card that has already earned its keep by the time it transforms. That last part is the wrinkle that makes the whole thing lethal: the Saga does not gate its payoff behind conditions or a fragile board state. You cash a card, then you get the combo piece for free. The copy clause is nonlegendary-only and the token is sacrificed at the next end step, which reads like restraint until you point it at anything with a relevant enters-the-battlefield trigger or an attack that matters, and suddenly the sacrifice is irrelevant because you already got what you wanted. What sets it apart from earlier Sagas is that none of the three chapters is a dead draw: whether you are aggressive, controlling, or looking to combo, there is a line where every counter does work. That refusal to have a bad mode, packed onto a three-mana card, is why it became the number that defined what "fair" value was allowed to look like.
