I'm almost inclined to say this is the best artifact in the set...I mean even Mox Opal and Infiltration Lens have there limits. At the moment, I can't think of any deck that wouldn't benefit in some way from this card.
Nice Vengevine you got thar.
Nice Putrefax you got thar.
Nice Grave Titan you got thar.
Nice...whatever creature you got thar. I don't care what it is, I just want it!
I mean seriously...you don't even have to run any creatures in your deck to make the card work. And in multiples, you can even shut down someones deck with these, while your generating the creatures! Johnny-ness explosion!
Stupid, bonkers, 5/5.

You guys are all wrong. ALL WRONG!!!
You play this, then Flash a little Chimney Imp into play. This can be done on turn three with a Dark Ritual.
Unless your opponent locks your mana, you're set. You play this effect at the beginning of each opponent turn, succeeding the draw phase and they're bound only to their hand, unless they have a sure way to draw mana.

If two different players each control their own Mimic Vat, who gets to imprint a creature when it dies?

Interesting alternative to Splinter Twin. Or play both!
And play both with Terastodon to fulfill my dream that EVERYTHING IS ELEPHANTS.

@retaelluos:
The active player chooses which order triggered abilities go on the stack. They can choose to put the non-active players on the stack, then theirs on top, so that theirs resolves first, thus the active player gets to choose who imprints a creature.

@Druka - I'll attemtp to answer your question. Please know I'm not entirely certain with my repsonse (I'm not a judge by any means).
I believe the answer is that Mimic Vat cannot imprint Gideon Jura because he remains a Planeswalker even when his ultimate is activated. Also, Gideon's ultimate is an ability that ends at the end of the turn. Much like if your opponent ramped up Flesh-Eater Imp to make him a 7/7 and then you copied the imp using another means of copying creatures (let's say you somehow managed to flash play a Clone). You would simply get the 2/2 version, not the ramped up 7/7.
If anything, you would only get a 6/6 Human Soldier that counted as a Planeswalker - not the actual Planeswalker himself. But I stand by the "Mimic Vat cannot imprint a Planeswalker" and Gideon's ultimate clearly states he remains a planeswalker.

The creature needs to be on battlefield first. That might add some difficulty in this, but I am tempted to try it out with Eternal Witness.
