Just mean with Ichor Rats, especially against a non-infect deck

@ LiXinjian : Here's a really good article explaining how and why you can keep the Mimic Vat copy permamently using the Sundial of the Infinite during your end step:

Not a person exists who didn't think of their favorite "enter the battlefield" effect creature when they saw this and promptly started drooling. The fact that you can use it on opponents creatures just makes me vow to play at least two of these in every one of my multiplayer casual decks.

Queen hornet, avenger of zendikar, etc.
Great card for creature-producing token decks!
Play with greater good... mmmm... card advantage.

Kind of card you could put a playset of in any type of deck.

The wording sais "exile at the beginning of the end step", which means that you can create one in the end step and untap with the token still in play. This will allow you to attack with two tokens at the same time (which can be vital in some locked down situations).
More importantly, it also allows you to keep the mana open (spending it only in the opponent's end step), which is why i'd probably never activate this card in my own turn.

Not that this is hard to abuse, but this really combos nicely with Shifty Doppelganger

@asandberge That doesn't work, as the tokens self exile, thus not triggering the imp's ability (unless you have a sacrifice outlet you haven't mentioned) Chittering Rats is a better choice, as you don't need a sac outlet to accomplish the lock.
Gilded Drake makes for the crazyawesomest choice : 3 tap: gain control of target creature and it's former controller gets a 3/3 blocker until end of turn.

realized last night that the exiled card doesn't need to be a creature CARD, just a creature when it dies. i was judging for a local store and someone asked if Gideon Jura would end up on the Vat if it was destroyed as a creature. had to look it up but now i know, you can make hasty Gideon copies. not as good as, say, Grave Titan (or any of the Titans), but still interesting to know.
also, hooray for Sundial of the Infinite for making this card even sicker than it was!
