Pirated Copy

Creature — Shapeshifter Pirate4 generic manaBlue mana

Most Clone effects borrow a body and stop there; this one grafts an engine onto whatever it becomes. Enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield and you keep every stat and ability intact, but the copy is now also a Pirate, and it carries a rider converting combat damage into cards: not just from itself, but from every creature sharing its new name. Copy a token-maker or a legend an opponent already controls, and the naming clause quietly extends the draw trigger across the whole cluster, including the original you cloned. The card-draw is keyed to the name rather than to this specific body, so the reward scales with copying something that already exists in multiples, and it plays cleanly against a wide board because any same-named attacker feeds you. The Pirate typing reads like flavor housekeeping, yet it does real work for tribal payoffs that count Pirates or trigger off them entering. At five mana with no combat value until it connects, this is a copy effect for aggression rather than pure value: you clone what you want to swing with, then let the mirrored names turn the board into a repeating draw source as it fills out.
