but can copy any "enter the battlefield" creature for two... Imagine, fetch two lands for 1U (Yes, I'm talking about Primeval Titan)... That's way better than Rampant Growth... Way better than crop rotation...

Well, you need to use the Illusion Lord with this one. You can have a copy of ANY creature for 2 mana, and it gets +1/+1. The only drawbacks are that the lord needs to live, and you can't target it. Still pretty good though.

This thing is pretty good...but still not quite 'epic', but it's not horrible, just not the greatest card in the set.

If you don't have the lord, wouldn't just having any creature with hexproof take care of u having to sac him?
Unless of course u targeted him with something?

Still not the best card in my opinion...But if it comes into play as a copy of a creature I can just Doomblade or Journey To No Where or Path to Exile them off the battlefield...So yeah problem sovled, not the best card in the set at ALL.

No i can see it gericault. the come into play effects alone justify the 1U and youre either going to have the Lord of Unreal in play, youre gonna make them waste a targeting spell ( doesnt have to be a removal spell though... i notice everyones citing removals to deal with it) or youre going to keep an awesome creature for 2. god forbid it copies a "dies" effect to.

of course it couldn't be the best card on the set because of the titans and all... but it can match them especially with the Lord...

Guess what? Solemn Simulacrum is back... makes Phantasmal Image even more viable card to use....

Yay for Jens.

"If you don't have the lord, wouldn't just having any creature with hexproof take care of u having to sac him?

If you are going to write something, at least post it in a legible manner. I'm not just talking about spelling, the wording makes no sense either.

he's sayign copy a creature with hexproof, so he won't be destroyed unless you target him yourself

Hmmm, could you do that? Would it count as targeting?

To Gatherer:

10/4/2004 Clone is not targeted, so it can copy an untargetable creature or a creature with Protection.

I guess not.

I see it like this.  People will first think copy Blightsteel kinda creatures, but a creature can so easily be targeted it won't be worth it.

While this card will work great with comes into play or sacrifice cards. 

Not the be all end all card, but it will be useful.

Well, Timmy will copy big creatures.

Johnny will copy a Myr Retriever.

Spike will copy Solemn Simulacrum, etc.

Spike will not play something like this. He will play Valakut, or U/B or RDW.

I'd love to buy this just to copy an opponent's Titan.

Of course Spike will play Phantasmal Image... He will probably see the potential of that card... In fact, Phantasmal Images is one of those cards that were made for all the 3 player-types...

For Johnny because of it's combo potential...
For Timmy for it's power
For Spike for it's tournament playability...

Though i'm not sure about timmy... but spike and johnny i'm sure...
