Metallic Mimic: Choose Your Tribe
Metallic Mimic is a compact engine piece for decks that want consistent tribal payoffs. It arrives as an artifact creature that adopts whatever creature type you pick when it enters the battlefield, and it boosts the tempo of your other creatures of that type by giving them an additional +1/+1 counter as they come into play. In play it reads as straightforward synergy rather than a flashy combo piece, which keeps lines simple and predictable in multiplayer settings.
In Commander shells that rely on tribal triggers or static buffs this card creates repeatable margin. The chosen type is added without removing its own identity, so it can slot cleanly into artifact heavy builds or decks that need a steady stream of anthem effects. Use it early to make each subsequent token or tutor target more resilient and more threatening on its first turn in the battlefield.
