Plasm Capture
GGUU
Instant
Counter target spell.

At the beginning of your next precombat main phase, add X mana in any combination of colors to your mana pool, where X is that spell's converted mana cost.

Progenitor Mimic
4GU
Creature
You may have Progenitor Mimic enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield except it gains "At the beginning of your upkeep, if this creature isn't a token, put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of this creature."

balanced manadrain?!?!?!?!

[Pendulum]

Note that it's any color combination of mana, not a direct reprint of MD.

Yeah, um, it's a 4cc mana drain in a format practically defined exclusively by spells that cost either X or 5+, not to mention it's probably got a solid place in Modern/Legacy. ...really that's a little silly.

Edit- also note that you get the mana regardless of whether the spell is actually countered or not, if I'm reading correctly.

[Dodger]

If we can't get a mana leak reprint don't expect us to get a usable mana drain

[Kaitscralt]

You find it unusable, Dodger? It seems pretty good to me. Rewind sees play, after all.

[Second Harkius]

I miss my G/U EDH deck. Mana Drain was such a powerhouse there and I can't imagine playing another copy (albeit with a more restrictive mana cost).


The clone mythic is another crap-o clone variant. Why does every set seem to have one?

[Pendulum]

Anybody else got anything to say about Progenitor Mimic, you know the unexciting card? I've ~kinda~ been keeping an eye on GUR goodguys because it's a fond wish of mine to build a relevant deck around Biovisionary/Signal the Clans and as a diggable one-of this guy might get there inside or outside the Biovisionary Deck Shell.

[Second Harkius]

it bad

[Kazekirimaru]

New Mana Drain? Nice. :3

i like it but i like silly cards.

[Shalako]

I think that Clone+New one every turn seems great in draft, You get the U/G Evolving going off and you get their biggest creature once at least.
