Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry

Clone effects have always fought a two-front war: they die easily, and they only ever capture one snapshot of the board. This card refuses both problems by refusing to stay dead. On its living face it is a clone with a Spirit rider stapled on, but its afterlife is the more inventive design: cast from the graveyard for its disturb cost, it returns as an Aura that turns your best creature into a token factory, minting a fresh Spirit copy each of your upkeeps. Two distinct clone modes on one card, picked by which side of the graveyard cycle you are on. Ghastly Mimicry pays for that recurring value with a one-way exit: if the Aura would ever hit the graveyard, it exiles instead, so you get a single trip through the beyond rather than an infinite loop with the back half. Worth remembering about the enchantment side is what copy effects actually read: only the printed values of the enchanted creature, not counters, temporary pumps, or keywords granted by other Auras or Equipment, so every token comes out a base copy no matter how buffed the original has grown. It belongs to the disturb lineage of cards built to matter twice, but where most of that cycle offers a single second cast, this one spends its second life on an engine that keeps producing, upkeep after upkeep, instead of one final swing.
