Definitely the best experience I've had with this card is killing an animated Gideon Jura with a Doom Blade.
3, T: Ball Lightning or Assassinate. Yes please.

There's a few scenarios that i'm keen to try out in a new standard deck i'm making. I've been digging through the comprehensive rules and I think all this is possible.
Scenario 1 (Copy any creature permanently):
Mimic Vat -> Exile Phyrexian Metamorph
Mimic Vat (T): Copy any creature
Wait till end step exile token ability triggers
Sundial of the Infinite (T): End the turn
Scenario 2 (Unlimited Mimic Vats):
Mimic Vat -> Exile Phyrexian Metamorph
Mimic Vat (T): Copy Mimic Vat
Wait till end step exile token ability triggers
Sundial of the Infinite (T): End the turn
You can even cast the Metamorph from your hand copying nothing, just to make it hit the graveyard.
I would welcome rules corrections to this post as the copying rules are somwhat convoluted.

Copy Geist-honored Monk, with any number of Parallel Lives/Doubling Seasons on the field, and get ready for some ungodly strong Monks and a metric ton of 1/1 white spirit tokens with flying that don't die at the end of the turn. Prolong with a Sundial of the Infinite Seriously crying.

I wonder why no one has suggested using this to keep bouncing Snapcaster Mages out? It's a cheaper recursion then depending on Sun Titan for that,

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Mimic Vat is a role model.

there is no EDH deck where adding this does not make the deck stronger

"so, i have to ask, if Gideon Jura uses his third ability, then was somehow killed, lets say with a doom blade, then it would be possible to imprint him on this, if i understand it correctly, right? "
@druka, straight from the rules of Gideon:
" If you activate Gideon Jura's third ability and then a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of him, that copy will be just a planeswalker, not a creature. (The effect of Gideon's third ability isn't copied, just as the effect of a Giant Growth, for example, wouldn't be copied.)"
You're right, it is possible to have a never ending supply of Gideon Jura planeswalker tokens.

@jimi what about the planeswalker rule? You'd have an empty field.
