Body Double Repeats the Mutable Nature of Shapeshifters in The Magic: The Gathering Universe. Unlike Traditional Clone-Type cards which Copy Creatures Currently on the Battlefield, Body Double Uniquely Interacts with the Graveyard, Allowing Players to Bring Back Powerful Creatures Or Utility Creatures That Have Lost Earlier in the Game. The Flavor Text, "I am who I pretend to be," is a succinct portrayal of the duality and deception inherent in shapeshifting. Winona Nelson's Art Likely Emphasizes This Mutable, Deceptive Nature, Showcasing the Shapeshifter in the Midst of a Transformation or As a Mirror Image of Another Creature. It's a card that can lead to varous strategic plays, and it interacts well with self-mill or graveyard-based strategies.
