• Baron Helmut Zemo

  BBB

  Legendary Creature — Human Noble VillainB

  Copy engine: one card makes a copy of a creature every turn, and the other's enter-the-battlefield effect rewards each copy. Real, repeatable value — the partner can't untap or re-enter the copier, so it never goes infinite.

• Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry

  3U

  One-shot copy enabler: a card enters as a copy of another (Phantasmal Image, Body Double, Phyrexian Metamorph), firing the partner's substantive ETB once. Not a repeating chain — fires once on entry — but valuable when the partner's ETB is combo-grade (graveyard reanimator, mana doubler, etc.).
