Character Background

Zygon Infiltrator is a tidy tempo tool that rewards careful sequencing and board awareness. As a 3/2 for three mana in blue, it already pressures life totals, but its real strength is Body-print: tapping an opposing creature, loading it with a stun counter, and then becoming a copy of it while it stays tapped. That makes it excellent in control or tempo shells that want to neutralize a threat without spending a full removal spell, especially when you can exploit the borrowed body for combat, utility text, or a stronger stat line. Because the ability activates only as a sorcery, pair it with effects that tap creatures at instant speed or keep them tapped longer, and consider proliferate or counter-synergy to extend the lockdown. In a Doctor Who-flavored deck, it feels like classic infiltration—turning enemy strength into a temporary disguise, then using it against them.
