About Absorb Identity

Absorb Identity, Instant, designed by Matt Stewart first released in December 2020 in the set Kaldheim. It see play in 1 format: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.55. It's a key card in 1 combo.

This card, Absorb Identity, would be beneficial in a deck focused on shapeshifting or creature duplication strategies, allowing for versatile and unexpected plays. While it offers flexibility and temporary power by copying an opponent's creature, there are potentially better options like Clone or Clever Impersonator that provide more permanent duplication effects. However, Absorb Identity could still see play in decks looking for a quick and cost-effective way to disrupt opponents' strategies while gaining temporary advantages on the battlefield.

Rules

02/05/2021

Either all Shapeshifters you control will become copies of the creature or none of them will.

02/05/2021

If Shapeshifters you control do become copies of the creature, they’ll use the copiable values of the creature as it last existed on the battlefield. They don’t copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it, whether it had any Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

02/05/2021

If the creature that was returned was copying something else, the Shapeshifters that become copies of that creature will use the copiable values of that creature. In most cases, they will be copies of whatever that creature was copying. If it was copying a permanent or card with {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

02/05/2021

If the target creature is an illegal target as Absorb Identity tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. Shapeshifters you control won’t become copies of the creature.
