About Mimic Vat

Mimic Vat, Artifact, designed by Matt Cavotta first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.01. It's a key card in 4 combos.

Mimic Vat would be a valuable addition to a control or midrange deck that focuses on generating value from creatures entering and leaving the battlefield. While it offers a versatile way to create token copies of powerful creatures, it may not be as efficient as other cards like Birthing Pod or Panharmonicon in certain strategies. However, Mimic Vat can still be a strong inclusion in decks looking to capitalize on its ability to repeatedly generate creature tokens and disrupt opponents' strategies by exiling key creatures.

Rules

07/13/16

If a melded permanent dies and triggers Mimic Vat’s triggered ability, both of its component cards are exiled. As Mimic Vat’s second ability resolves, its controller chooses one of those cards to make a token copy of.

01/01/11

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the exiled card will trigger when the token is put onto the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the exiled card will also work.

01/01/11

If Mimic Vat’s second ability is activated during a turn’s end step, the token will be exiled at the beginning of the following turn’s end step.

01/01/11

If multiple nontoken creatures are put into their owners’ graveyards from the battlefield at the same time, the imprint ability will trigger that many times. You put the triggered abilities on the stack in any order, so you’ll determine in which order they resolve. However, since exiling those cards is optional, and choosing to exile a card this way causes the previously exiled cards to return to their owners’ graveyards, the order generally doesn’t matter: You’ll wind up with at most one of those cards exiled, and the rest will be in the appropriate graveyards.

01/01/11

The imprint ability will trigger whenever a nontoken creature is put into any graveyard from the battlefield, not just your graveyard.

01/01/11

The token created by the second ability will be a copy of whatever card is exiled with Mimic Vat at the time the ability resolves. This might not be the same card that was exiled with Mimic Vat at the time the ability was activated. It also might not be a creature card.

01/01/11

You may activate the second ability even if no card has been exiled with Mimic Vat. If no card has been exiled with Mimic Vat by the time the ability resolves, no token will be created.
