Orvar, the All-Form
Most copy engines reward you for copying big: a dragon, a game-ending permanent, the fattest thing on the board. This one inverts the instinct. The token only appears when your instant or sorcery targets a permanent you already control, so the payoff tracks how cheaply and how often you can point a spell at your own stuff, not how large the copied thing is. A one-mana bounce spell aimed at a manland copies the manland; a cheap protection spell cast on a value creature builds a second one; a targeted cantrip pointed at an enchantment doubles the enchantment. The spell resolves normally on top of the token, so you pay once and collect both the effect and a permanent copy. That reframes an entire class of otherwise unremarkable cards (self-bounce, protection, targeted buffs on your own creatures, cheap spells that touch a permanent you want two of) as token factories, and it favors a line most engines discourage: play the smallest, most repeatable targeting instants and sorceries you can find rather than the biggest payoff. The changeling body folds it quietly into any tribal shell wanting a four-mana creature of every type. The discard rider is the odd one out: if an opponent forces this card from your hand, you copy a permanent anyway, converting their disruption into a consolation prize. What the card can do bends entirely around how creatively you read the phrase "targets one or more other permanents you control."
