I once hid a Precursor Golem under this. That combo along with Distortion Strike won me the game. Two extra blockers and a stacking number of attackers each turn is really nice.

I pulled this in a draft the other night and didn't even realize what a monster this is. I looked at it and thought "it's an artifact rare with a lot of text, gotta be good". And boy oh boy.
Imprint a Filigree Angel and enjoy endless life. Steel overseer, Grave titan, any red 6/1 elementals... My imagination can't even conjure what this card is capable of.

what happens if you have one and an opponent has one?

@druka: Yes, it's been stated that if Gideon Jura dies while he's a creature you can imprint him onto this. He'd be a planeswalker only when you crank out a token of him since at that point you're copying the imprinted card.
Have fun with your 6/6 undamageable haster or Assassinate stick. (The first ability would be obviously pointless.)

"The best thing that's ever happened to me with this was against Emrakul. Clone, it's dead, it's in the vat. I have infinite turns now, thanks. You lose. "
I love this concept, using mimic clones to kill legends and then mimicing the legend every turn for 3.
But you don't get infinte turns with an imprinted Emrakul. His "get an extra turn" ability only happens when he's cast, not when he enters the battlefield, and mimicing him from the vat is not casting.

Combo this with Incandescent Soulstoke and Nova Chaser. Send an 11/3* trample at them turn 5 and then imprint it for 3 mana when you sacrifice it. From the rest of the game on you have a 11/3* trample every turn for 3 mana.

@AssassinStrike: When your general dies, you can either let him go to the graveyard or put him in the command zone instead. If you choose to send him to the command zone, mimic vat has no effect. If you choose to allow him to go to the graveyard, then you have the option of exiling him with mimic vat. As you exile him from mimic vat, you again have the option of sending him to the command zone instead, but if you do, then he is not imprinted on the mimic vat. But if you do allow him to become exiled instead of going to the command zone, then he becomes imprinted like any other creature.
