Mystic Reflection

Most copy effects overwrite something the moment they resolve; this one is a wager placed on the future. It marks a creature, then waits for the next batch of things to hit the battlefield and forces them into that mold. That gap between naming the template and the copy actually happening is where the whole card lives. Point it at a 1/1 and the opponent's incoming bomb enters as a vanilla weakling instead: a soft counter that lands after their spell has already resolved and sidesteps the usual counterspell timing entirely. Point it at your own token generator and a single trigger fans out into an army wearing the same face. The only restriction is on the template you copy, which must be nonlegendary; the creatures being reshaped can be anything, so an opponent's legendary threat is fair game to shrink. Foretell is what makes the trap workable: two mana now to hide the answer, one mana later to spring it, so the interaction that punishes an opponent's turn does not have to sit exposed in your hand telegraphing itself. What reads on paper like a niche blue combo enabler is really a reactive tool disguised as a proactive one, its value dictated entirely by what enters after you cast it rather than anything printed on it.
