Marvin, Murderous Mimic — Puppet the Board
Marvin, Murderous Mimic is a compact engine for artifact strategies and creature toolbox decks in Duskmourn House of Horror. As a Legendary Artifact Creature Toy that costs {2}, Marvin trades raw stats for asymmetric utility; its text grants it every activated ability of your other creatures that do not share its name. Play Marvin and it turns your utility creatures into on demand tools without sacrificing your own board presence. The foil near mint presentation is ideal for collectors and players who want a standout commander or sideboard option.
From a gameplay perspective Marvin rewards careful sequencing and attention to activated versus triggered abilities. It does not copy static effects or replacement effects, but it does open unique lines where a single slot on the battlefield doubles as mana sink, removal source, or an extra utility tap. The card also carries a small touch of lore that fits Duskmourn’s tone; the puppet was crafted by a razorkin with a ventriloquist’s knack and now acts with dangerous autonomy. Add Marvin to artifact packages, combo shells, or any deck that values flexible, repeatable actions and expand what a 2 2 body can actually do.
