Character Background
Slick Imitator looks like an ooze that's more a lab assistant than a blob — it accumulates "speed" as opponents lose life and, at full throttle, can be sacrificed to copy a spell you control. It best supports control/value and spell‑combo archetypes: its 1/3 body for {1}{U} buys tempo while it charges toward a one‑shot replication of a game‑ending instant or disruptive counter. Build it into spell‑heavy shells that prize big single‑spell effects — Cyclonic Rift, Dig Through Time, Time Warp (or any established finisher) are prime targets — and consider splashing a small amount of cheap damage (a Lightning Bolt or a few ping effects) or recurring unblockable damage to reliably accelerate its speed. Include card selection and cheap interaction so you have copyable targets when it hits max speed, and remember the activation costs {1} and a sacrifice, so plan to use it on a turn you can immediately capitalize on the duplicated spell.
