Vesuvan Duplimancy

Most copy effects are one-shots: cast a Clone, get a body. This turns copying into a trigger, and the trigger is stapled to something you were already doing. Any spell you point at a single artifact or creature you control (a pump spell, a protection instant, an aura, even a cantrip that happens to target the right permanent) fires it, and the payoff is a nonlegendary token copy of whatever you targeted. The design taxes nothing and asks only that your spell's target be single and yours; that constraint is what keeps it from copying opposing threats or scaling on multi-target sweepers. The nonlegendary clause is the quiet pivot: because the token bypasses the legend rule, the card reframes itself around your best legendary permanent, letting you photocopy the parts that matter without the copy immolating itself the moment it enters. That inverts the usual anxiety about targeted buffs, where an instant pointed at your creature is a gamble against a removal response. Here the removal-bait spell doubles as a value engine, because the trigger keys off casting, not resolution: even if an opponent kills the creature in response, the copy is still made from its last known information. It rewards a deckbuilding pattern that predates it by decades (cheap targeted spells plus one big creature) and hands that pattern a repeatable second body every time the pattern executes.
