About Identity Thief

Identity Thief, Creature — shapeshifter, designed by Dan Scott first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.61. It's a key card in 4 combos.

This card could be beneficial in a deck focused on creature theft or control strategies, allowing for temporary copies of powerful creatures on the battlefield. While Identity Thief offers versatility and surprise tactics, cards like Clever Impersonator or Sakashima the Impostor may provide more consistent value in copying creatures without the need to exile them first. Whether Identity Thief should see play depends on the specific deck strategy and the overall synergy with other cards in the deck.

Rules

07/13/16

Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.

07/13/16

If the targeted creature has an ability that triggers when it attacks, it’ll be too late for it to trigger once Identity Thief has that ability. The same is true if another object has an ability that triggers when a creature with certain characteristics attacks and Identity Thief doesn’t have those characteristics until after it becomes a copy.

07/13/16

If the targeted creature is a double-faced or melded permanent, Identity Thief copies the face shown. Because Identity Thief is not a double-faced card or meld card, it won’t be able to transform or meld. If it copies a melded permanent or the back face of a double-faced card, its converted mana cost will be 0. Exiled double-faced cards and exiled meld cards will return with their front faces up.

07/13/16

Noncopy effects that have already applied to Identity Thief will continue to apply to it. For example, if Woodcutter’s Grit gave Identity Thief +3/+3 and hexproof earlier in the turn, Identity Thief will still have those bonuses after copying a creature.

07/13/16

This effect can cause Identity Thief to stop being a creature. For example, if you target an animated Gideon Jura (a planeswalker with a loyalty ability that turns him into a creature), only the printed wording will be copied; the “becomes a creature” effect won’t. Identity Thief will become a noncreature Gideon with no loyalty, be removed from combat, and then be put into its owner’s graveyard.
