Superior Spider-Man

Otto Octavius stealing Peter Parker's body is the rare piece of comics lore that translates cleanly into a mechanic: this is a body-snatcher printed as one. The name Mind Swap does real work, because the card does not copy a creature on the battlefield the way a shapeshifter would; it reaches into a graveyard and reanimates the corpse as itself, keeping only its own name, its 4/4 body, and its Spider Human Hero types layered on top. That distinction is the whole engine. A clone that copies living creatures is a mirror; this reaches for the dead, which means it wants a full graveyard and rewards you for filling one. The exile clause is the discipline: the card you steal is exiled, so there is no looping the same target, no leaving fuel behind for an opponent's own recursion. Functionally it sits at the intersection of two blue-black traditions that rarely share a card. It is reanimation, since it arrives with a dead creature's abilities intact, and it is cloning, since it arrives as a copy rather than the original. What it is not is a graveyard-fetch spell or a straight return-to-battlefield effect; the copy identity matters for the legend rule, for triggered abilities that key off the card's name, and for effects that read the creature's current type line rather than its origin. A single reanimation slot that also functions as a shapeshifter is a genuinely unusual seat to occupy.
