Can Progenitor Mimic be a land generator?

Asked by Kathoran 9 years ago

Okay, I have Progenitor Mimic enter the battlefield copying a land animated by Hydroform . From my understanding, the mimic will not copy the 3/3 creature but instead be a land. So, the question is will the mimics ability still put another copy of the land into play, or will it fizzle since the land is obviously not a creature?

Yes, you are correct. Clone will only copy the values on the card. It won't even have a Power or tougness for that turn.

it will also have the second ability which will put copies of itself(in this case, your land) onto the battlefield.

Note that only spells or abilities with targets can fizzle. "To fizzle" is to be countered by the game rules for having zero remaining legal targets. A spell or ability only targets if it specifically uses the word "target."

Would it work the same way if you animated a Mutavault ?

Okay, so then what would happen if you did everything that was said above, and then on your next turn you put out another mimic copying your previous mimic??

And I apologize if I'm supposed to start a new thread for all these questions

You will need to animate the first Progenitor Mimic before you can copy it. Assuming you do, you'll end up with a second copy that has two of the token-making abilities.
