• 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.
