About Mirror Match

Mirror Match, Instant, designed by Steve Prescott first released in May, 2020 in the set Commander 2015 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.31.

A control deck focused on stalling the game and preventing damage would benefit from Mirror Match as it can create multiple blockers to defend against a swarm of attacking creatures. However, cards like Settle the Wreckage or Supreme Verdict may be more efficient board wipes for dealing with large threats, making Mirror Match situational and potentially not a top choice for competitive play.

Rules

11/04/15

A token created by Mirror Match will be blocking the creature it’s copying even if that creature can’t be blocked or has an ability that would stop the token creature from blocking it (such as menace or protection). This is also true even if the token creature has an ability that would stop it from being declared as a blocker.

11/04/15

If Mirror Match creates more than one token for any given attacking creature (due to an effect such as the one Doubling Season creates), each of those tokens will enter the battlefield blocking the creature it’s a copy of. All of those tokens will be exiled by the delayed triggered ability.

11/04/15

If the copied creature has in its mana cost, X is 0.

11/04/15

If the copied creature is a token, the token created by Mirror Match copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield.

11/04/15

If the tokens aren’t creatures (perhaps because the attacking creature was an animated land), they’ll enter the battlefield but they won’t be blocking. Attacking creatures that weren’t otherwise blocked will remain unblocked.
