Flesh Duplicate

Clone effects have always run on a simple bargain: pay the price, and the copy of the best thing on the board is yours to keep. This design keeps that promise only for one narrow class of target. Copy a creature that already carries vanishing and nothing changes; copy anything else (a bomb finisher, an engine creature, a threat that was never meant to expire) and the copy arrives with three time counters ticking toward its own sacrifice. The rider inverts the usual math. Where Phantasmal Image or the original Clone let you keep a copied threat indefinitely, this one turns the strongest copy targets into borrowed time and rewards you for pointing it at the handful of creatures that share its self-destruct clause. That builds a tension between what you want to copy and what you can copy for free, and it quietly opens a small deckbuilding puzzle around creatures that treat entering, dying, and re-entering as the whole point. The 0/0 base body makes the choice non-negotiable in practice: it is a Clone that must copy to survive, then must decide whether the creature worth copying is worth watching it fade.
