Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic
Oracle Text
Photographic Reflexes — At the beginning of your first main phase, until your next turn, Taskmaster becomes a copy of up to one target creature on the battlefield or creature card in a graveyard, except his name is Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic and he's a legendary Human Mercenary Villain creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic is a naturally value-driven control card that rewards flexible, board-aware play. In Magic terms, a 3/5 body for four mana already blocks well, but Photographic Reflexes turns every first main phase into a tactical fork: copy the best creature on the battlefield for immediate impact, or raid the graveyard for a reusable threat, utility creature, or keyword package. That makes him excellent in midrange-control shells that want to stabilize early and then pivot into whatever ability the game demands, whether that’s removal on a stick, card draw, evasion, or combat tricks. A strong deckbuilding tip is to stock your own graveyard with creatures that scale well when copied, such as enter-the-battlefield value creatures or legends with powerful static abilities, and pair him with self-mill or loot effects to broaden targets. His lore fits perfectly: Taskmaster survives by reading opponents and turning their strengths into his own advantage.
