If you're running blue, strictly worse than Rite of Replication.

I run this in Rafiq of the many EDH. Basically the deck has two directions, either go for mythic conscr.iption on Rafiq or if you're like me and also run True Conviction because it's by and large the same as having out Rafiq and Battlegrace Angel this thing just goes nuts with knight of the reliquary.

When I played this card, I had myself convinced by "discard" it meant sacrifice. My friends didn't even notice it either. Then one day I noticed it and said oh sh**! Still an incredibly powerful card anyways. Just put some cultivates and caravan vigils into your deck with this and you'll do great!

This card is absolutely nuts in Riku EDH.
8 mana, discard a land: get 2 copies of something.
Just make sure the first creature you copy is something like Civic Wayfinder to grab lands for retrace.

So for 6 mana and a land, I can get another Consecrated Sphinx?
Where do I sign up?

This card fits blue, but a hybrid card needs to fit both colors to make sense. I think this was a flavor mistake. That said, I don't play blue and I am totally stoked to have access to such a wonderful effect.
I like it because I am pleased to draw a spell or a land after it is in the graveyard. And because if this ends up in my graveyard due to Slate of Ancestry, or Call of the Wild I haven't really lost anything.
My favorite use is to target Capricious Efreet. That is a card that benefits from as many copies as possible, since you target your weakest permanent will all of the efreets, and as soon as it dies, the rest stop looking at your side of the board.
Also, this is repeatable legend kill, which is always nice.
Precursor Golem, Charmbreaker Devil and Creakwood Liege are also fun targets.

Why hasn't anyone commented on the hilarious flavor of this card? And why is my mirror covered in spit streaks?

Sadly, can't be played in a green deck without blue in EDH. Oh, hybrid rule, why do you mock me so?

This card totally breaks the (new) populate mechanic... With this, you can Populate to make copies of ANYTHING! Army of Autochthons? Check. Legion of Lieges? Check. And if all else fails, copy the other guy's biggest baddie, then Populate, Populate, Populate...
