I like this as another axis to battle on, because Mirror is rarely dead by itself, providing a buffer against aggressive decks, and can let you prolong the game if need be
It was released in Japan on October 20, 1996, and in the United States on January 9, 1999
Either way, in its time, it was a powerhouse Pokmon like no other
It does not hit problematic enchantment or artifact stuff, which keeps it down a grade, but for just 1 mana that's not much of a downside
Its basically the Magic communitys quick way of saying no matter how scary a creature looks, you can still take it out with cheap removal, if it doesnt offer any value right away
It doesnt matter if that land has other card types like Dryad Arbor or Ancient Den
