Cursed Mirror: Copy with a Red Edge
Cursed Mirror is a compact artifact that trades raw power for flexible tempo. In the artwork, the mirror sits within an ornate frame and glows with a red sheen, hinting at the tool’s bite in the right moment. When it enters the battlefield, you may have it become a copy of any creature on the battlefield until end of turn, except it has haste. That temporary clone can swing or block, letting you steal tempo or create a surprise advantage. In the right moments, that line of play can turn a stalled turn into an edge. The mimicry plus haste makes it a solid tool for red focused artifact decks.
The mana ability is straightforward Tap: Add {R}. That means you can fuel a spell or push through damage with a quick spark. In Modern Horizons 3, Cursed Mirror fits into decks that prize versatility and timely decisions. Its light play status makes it accessible to casual tables, yet it still rewards careful timing and planning. Lore wise, the mirror is said to reflect potential futures on the battlefield, inviting clever players to shape the present.
