Character Background

Fractured Identity feels like a timey-wimey theft — you exile a problematic nonland permanent and everyone else (except the original controller) gets a copy — which makes it a strong tool for control/value strategies and political multiplayer decks rather than pure aggro. As a 3WU sorcery it doubles as removal and resource generation: in 1v1 it cleanly trades a troublesome permanent for a copy under your control, and in multiplayer it can redistribute power across the table to punish a threat’s owner while gifting useful tokens to allies. Deckbuilding tips: include token-doublers like Anointed Procession to maximize the copies you receive, or Panharmonicon and other ETB synergies so the tokens yield immediate value; sacrifice outlets (Ashnod’s Altar, Viscera Seer) convert borrowed creatures into incremental advantage. Be cautious — targeting your own things hands the table copies of your cards — so prioritize exiling opponents’ ETB monsters or planeswalkers you’re happy to reap, and slot this as a control-value finisher that can enable combos or swing multiplayer politics.
