Balance Thread

Ok, then the other route is to give it an activation cost.  Undizziers are cheap, and Orbital Cannon isn't particularly expensive.  I figured with spell immune, you could still undizzy it, but it would be less straightforward (i.e. ability undizziers, Selection Committee, Scanning Field, etc.)

Yet another unique card.  Robot Duplicate at least semi-approximates it, and I think it's probably a better card, being more versatile, but without the ability-copying.  If there aren't any large creatures out, the Duplicate itself is fairly beefy.  And the Clone costs an awful lot... it feels too high.
Suggestion: 55

Remember, it can copy uniques..

I figured it probably could.  But so can Robot Duplicate, in a sense.  I still don't think it justifies the cost.

That works.

Meh.  Being limited to generators is a pretty major drawback, especially outside of the MC sandbox.

Becuase there's no generators in any other set?  I'm not sure how the 'mc sandbox' has anything to do with it (excepting maybe that they generally cost less?)

Well, for one they generally cost less, two, they tend to be less of an integral part of the deck beyond just generating mana (i.e. Allying, Power, etc.)

Pretty expensive for what it does.  Attaching it to a Suicider represents a fairly realistic good-case scenario, and it's thrice as effective as Gift of Life (which itself should probably cost 3), for over twice the cost.  But it's also much more easily foiled than a GoL, potentially netting you zero.
Suggestion: Cost to 43

Use it on something with Invisible Attack

Yes, I know it's possible to get more than 150 damage/life out of it, but I figure you can't really expect to.  Besides, Invisible Attack doesn't guarantee that your opponent won't deal with the creature somehow.
