Character Background
Flesh Duplicate is a clever blue tempo/value card: for {U}{U} you can temporarily turn one battlefield threat into yours, or pluck an opponent’s utility creature and deny them access to its abilities for up to three turns. The vanishing 3 clause makes this less of a permanent theft and more of a timed engine—excellent in control shells that want flexible answers and in combo or value builds that exploit enter-the-battlefield triggers. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with cheap blink effects (Brago, Ephemerate, Restoration Angel) to reset vanishing and reuse the copy, or with Panharmonicon to magnify any ETB the copy carries. It also fits in UW tempo lists that want short-term board advantage by copying large attackers or blockers, or in ETB-driven lists that copy Mulldrifter- or Primeval Titan–type effects to squeeze extra value. Remember vanishing forces a sacrifice, so include ways to cash out the copy (sac outlets or timed blinks) to convert that borrowed creature into maximum benefit before it disappears.
