Cleaner Clones-(Standard Deck):An army of one.

The only thing better than having an incredible board state with a lot of powerful creatures is stealing your opponent's board state and multiplying it.


Cleaner Clones is a Standard legal deck that utilizes Mirage Mirror, Tilonalli's Skinshifter, and Saheeli Rai to duplicate either your own or your opponent's toughest creature. 

Mirage Mirror can become a copy of a target artifact, creature, enchantment or land until end of turn.  This includes any of these items on the battlefield (yours or your opponent's).

Saheeli will help you scry through your deck, but what you really want from it is it's -2 ability.  You can make a copy of any artifact or creature that you control. 

Now, I won't be shocked if you don't recognize this card.  It isn't really used.  But for this deck, it works great.  Tilonalli's Skinshifter (great name) will jump on the attack bandwagon and copy another nonlegendary creature.


If your opponent doesn't have creatures that you can steal, this deck provides you some.  Keep in mind, you can replace these creatures with any of your own.  The initial idea of this deck was to use Lighting Runner:

Then, duplicate it 4 times.  Once you have 4 copies of it, you can attack over and over again, receiving 8 energy from attacking with 4, until your opponent is demolished by paying the 8 energy to gain an additional combat phase.  Unfortunately, this is a difficult trick to pull off.  Most often, I was unable to get more than 3 on the field before swinging in.  I decided to replace this 5 drop with Glorybringer:

If you copy a Glorybringer with a Mirage Mirror, you can swing in and exert it for additional removal if you need it or offset your exert triggers to keep continuous attacks lined up. If you have your Tilonalli's Skinshifter out, there's an additional damage source.  If Saheeli Rai is out, you can create yet another copy.  As long as you have access to a big creature, you can copy multiple times and swing in.  You can use any creature to do this, but remember, if you copy a Legendary creature-the rule applies.  You will have to remove one of them from play.  BE CAREFUL. 


The rest of the deck is supportive of this concept.  There are some good sideboard cards if you realize you need to shift to a more control type deck or if you suspect that your opponent is sideboarding in some hate for your copy machine. 


Here's what I have so far:

Of course, every deck I build is a work in progress.  Let me know what changes you want to make.  My greatest kill shot with this deck was making 3 copies of my opponent's Dire Fleet Ravager and swinging in for the win.
