Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry card art
Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry enters as a copy of any creature on the board and then generates token copies of itself on each subsequent upkeep — that's a repeating Clone engine stapled to a single card. The cost is real: five mana for the front face and a reliance on other strong creatures to copy, but in the right shell alongside something like Felidar Guardian or Gyruda, Doom of Depths, the token accumulation spirals out of control fast.

Gyruda, Doom of Depths

Gyruda, Doom of Depths

72.4% of decks · synergy 0.70

Gyruda, Doom of Depths is the canonical home — Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry copies Gyruda on entry, and each token copy triggers Gyruda's mill-and-reanimate ability again, creating a self-feeding loop that can empty opposing libraries or chain into every creature in your deck.

02
Millicent, Restless Revenant

Millicent, Restless Revenant

53.2% of decks · synergy 0.51

Millicent, Restless Revenant rewards Spirit tokens, and the token copies that Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry generates each upkeep are Spirits — every new token reduces the commander tax and pumps the whole board simultaneously.

03
Hidetsugu and Kairi

Hidetsugu and Kairi

30.9% of decks · synergy 0.29

Hidetsugu and Kairi has a powerful death trigger, and Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry lets you copy it to stack those triggers repeatedly, threatening lethal damage or library manipulation without having to recast the commander.

04
Sakashima of a Thousand FacesVial Smasher the Fierce

Sakashima of a Thousand Faces // Vial Smasher the Fierce

28.0% of decks · synergy 0.27

Sakashima of a Thousand Faces // Vial Smasher the Fierce removes the legendary restriction that would otherwise limit how many copies you can keep around, making Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry's upkeep tokens significantly more dangerous since none of them are forced to be sacrificed.

05
Cynette, Jelly Drover

Cynette, Jelly Drover

27.0% of decks · synergy 0.25

Cynette, Jelly Drover cares about tokens entering the battlefield and scales with their count, so the recurring token copies from Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry translate directly into Food production and board presence every single turn cycle.

pauper not legal

Commander is unambiguously where Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry does its best work — the 100-card singleton format guarantees powerful targets to copy, and the slower pace gives the upkeep token engine time to compound. In Modern and Legacy it's legal but effectively absent from competitive play; five mana for a conditional Clone is simply too slow when removal is cheaper and faster than the card can generate value. Pioneer is the same story. Oathbreaker is a reasonable second home if your signature spell enables the loop early, but the format sees enough fast clocks that the five-drop often doesn't survive to generate a single token.
