If there are 2, and lets say you control both, you choose which one gets the card, you cannot have both get the card.
If you and an opponent control 1 and 1, then whoever has first priority

@druka:
No, it wouldn't be able to Imprint Gideon, because it Imprints when the creature hits graveyard, and when Gideon is Doom Bladed, he heads to graveyard and all of his effects wear off, turning him back into a Planeswalker. So when he would be up for Mimic Vat's Imprint, he is no longer a Creature.

@jemas42 and PhyrexianAdvocate:
Please read the card rulings. Yes you can imprint a Gideon Jura that has become a creature.

In EDH? A general would work just like any other creature. You could exile your own general with it. Would probably only really be useful if you have some devastating come into play effect, or your environment has an inordinate amount of creature hate so you can keep bringing him back. Of course if someone blows up the Mimic Vat your general is now gone for the rest of the game.
Any sane opponent would simply send their own general back to the command zone if you tried to exile it with the Mimic Vat.

Not to beat a horse to death, but again, you can mimic vat Gideon. It's actually thanks to this neat little thing called "Last-known in-play status", it's the same thing that allows you to gain life off a creature, should an effect give it lifelink until end of turn but deal damage with a sac effect. Even though it doesn't have Lifelink in the grave, the gamestate doesn't care, it checks to see if it had it when it was last in play. Gideon works the same way; mimic fat doesn't say 'creature card' on it anywhere, so as long as the card WAS a creature while it was in play (see: Hiddon Gibbons), it can be vat'd.

EDH question here:
so, my friend has pattern of rebirth on his Butcher of Truth... i rend flesh that with a taped mimic vat out...
i say that i get a chance to imprint it on the vat before the creature pops into the yard, but he disagreed, saying his guy hits the yard THEN i get to exile it, causing Pattern of Rebirth to go off and letting him search for a creature that destroys my Vat.
am i right?

Okay, people, what happens if you combine this with Birthing Pod? I mean, u get a token which is an exact copy, including it's CMC right?
Or am I just getting it wrong?
Would be great to combo this with Acidic Slime and Birthing Pod. Pay 5 mana, destroy target artifact, enchantment or land and search yourself a Wurmcoil Engine or Titan or whatever, rinse and repeat.
I hope this works...

Anyone know how this would work with EDH? Because their commander wouldn't be exiled, but moved to the command zone. I assume you couldn't use this on them then.

Use with the m12 card Sundial of the Infinite to reliably exile the delayed trigger, effectively allowing you to keep the copy made by mimic vat forever.

I love to imprint my Phyrexian Metamorph, and just go to town.
