I can't overemphasize the power of this card in limited. It is a 4-mana answer to ANY creature. Works incredibly with UB decks; I had to take out an Enormous Baloth-- drop a Clone, block the Baloth, Rise From the Grave the Baloth and Disentomb the Clone. 3 turns, and now I have board control with a pair of 7/7s that can't be Doom Bladed.
Clone rocks.

This card has been noting but awesome for me, especially if your opponent has a pesky rare that you can't get rid of and want to pay some retribution. Really good in a green and blue deck if you can play out Mirror Gallery and then Momir Vig. If you have the opportunity to clone Momir and start playing cheap creatures that are both green and blue, you're suddenly cycling two creature into your hand for every one creature you play! Its intimidating to your opponents. Throw down a Natures Will and you start the chaos all over again. :D I definitely love this card.

This card has so many applications. Wipe out a troublesome legendary, turn a bomb into two bombs, acquire a bomb for yourself. Great card, and perfectly priced.

This card has saved my butt from Mono Green decks with crazy powerful creatures countless times. I love it hands down, i have a blue/white deck that focuses on flying and opponent creature control, so its a must against large creatures.
My friend and I after researching around decided clone works for a creature with shroud, because it isn't targeting that creature with any type of effect? Is that correct?

JacksJokeShop, Clone can copy something with protblue because it doesn't target what it's copying. That's why it's a Progenitus killer, even though Progenitus has protEverything. You are right that it changes it's name and color to match exactly whatever it copies, I found that out the hard way when I used one to copy a Mirror-Sigil Sergeant and expected it's ability to trigger off of itself. Another lesson learned.

Clone is just simply the best. Why? Because if another creature on the field is already the best, it becomes a copy of that creature.
JacksJokeShop: Clone is not targeted, it is not targeting your creatures. Brave The Elements would do nothing to it. It can also copy Progenitus (thereby destroying it due to the legendary rule), which has pro-everything, again because it's not a targeted spell.
mooseling: yes. It is an exact copy of whatever creature it copies. This includes both triggered and activated abilities, creature type (and supertype if any), color, power and toughness....

Clone is my favortie creature by far. The other day my oppenent dropped his Omnath, Locus of Mana, and I had this in my hand. I played it copided it, and he sayed in horror, "you know they both die right?"
Yea and I don't care. 4 mana well spent.

Copies any creature for just 4 mana. Gets around protections. Arguably the best blue creature for 4 mana ever.
