Mimeofacture lets you copy any permanent on the battlefield — at instant speed, and buyback means you can repeat it every turn with enough mana. The catch is nine mana total with buyback, which makes this a late-game card in decks that generate serious blue mana.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the only realistic home for Mimeofacture — the card is designed around the late-game resource accumulation that 100-card singleton encourages, and opponents reliably present high-value permanents worth copying. In Legacy and Vintage, nine mana is a non-starter when the format ends on turns two or three; even at base five mana without buyback, you're competing against formats that demand immediate impact. Mimeofacture is legal in Oathbreaker but faces the same speed problem in a compressed game state. Stick to Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Mimeofacture is bulk, and it has been for years — low demand from competitive formats keeps it there. It holds its floor because Commander players occasionally want a repeatable copy effect, but don't expect the price to move.
