Elminster's Simulacrum
Oracle Text
For each opponent, you create a token that's a copy of up to one target creature that player controls.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Elminster’s Simulacrum is a quintessential high-end value and control tool, turning an instant into a table-wide swing by borrowing the best creature from each opponent and then giving you those bodies as tokens. In Commander, that means it shines most in slower blue decks that can survive to six mana and capitalize on the copied creatures immediately, either by blocking, attacking, or exploiting enter-the-battlefield abilities. Because you choose “up to one” creature per opponent, you can also avoid awkward situations and simply take the most relevant threats or utility creatures available. It pairs especially well with blink, sacrifice, and token synergies: copying a creature with a strong ETB trigger, then copying your own token-doubling effects or sacrifice outlets, can quickly snowball. The card fits a tempo-control shell that wants to neutralize enemy boards while generating its own presence, and its mythic feel matches Elminster’s theme of arcane duplication and tactical mastery.
