Shielded Copycat
Assimilation Aegis is a compact mythic artifact that flips battlefield tempo into a strategic advantage. Cast for {1}{W}{U}, it enters the battlefield and can exile a single target creature until the Aegis leaves play. Later you may attach it to a creature you control and that creature becomes a copy of a creature card exiled with the Aegis for as long as it remains attached. This sequence rewards careful timing and rewards decks that plan around a single high value exile target.
Play it as a toolbox answer or as a focused combo piece. The equip cost of 2 makes moving the Aegis inexpensive mid game. In Outlaws of Thunder Junction matches the card reads like a utility swap that borrows a foe and makes your own creature the mirror image. For players who value precise interactions and board manipulation the Assimilation Aegis fits into control shells and artifact synergies without demanding excessive setup.
