Wow, I can't believe no one has mentioned the most obvious target for this guy, let me spell it out thragtusk, you're welcome. Yes there are solid creatures from the Gatekeepers to other beatdown creatures. But in Standard, Thragtusk is probably your #1-5 targets most of the time. Whether you are copying your opponents or copying your own, turn 6 is relevant and you are usually copying Thragtusk if it survives. And let the life gaining, token generating fun begin. I really like this card and can't wait to get a playset of him for cheap. Right now most of the attention is on Ral Zarek, Voice of Resurgence, Legion's Initiative, Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Master of Cruelties but I have a feeling this might get some play.
6 Mana may be slightly prohibitive but having a clone engine is solid for control decks.

The best thing about this is that you can stack them as copies of each other. A Progenitor Mimic copying another Progenitor Mimic will produce two tokens of itself in the upkeep.
A bit pricey for serious play, but a really fun and silly card nonetheless. I hope to run it in a casual deck with Master Biomancer... what could possibly go wrong?

Flyheight- you're done? well that's a real shame because I'm not. :P
See, you neglected to even try to do anything other than "Make an ass ton of creatures"
Well first, I am here to tell you that, yes, as 'ubiquitous' 'lazy' and 'easy' as it is to say, I'm not yet bored of how stupid it is so I have to bring up Doubling Season :D But wait! There's more! (Obviously-)
Doubling Season makes not only lots more babies, it also says that we get to double +1/+1 counters. Since this Clone does NOT cost 4 mana, that is actually a BOON because it means that we have our 4-mana slot open for our Master Biomancers. "NOW HOLD ON!" you say-
Sure Master Biomancer doesn't appear to do a lot on his own- he also needs his own support to do his silly stupid thing. Well that's perfectly fine and dandy because the P. Mimic IS a fairly self-regulating-operator, so we can afford to devote more time to getting Master Biomancer working because... (see all)

Use with Master Biomancer to crush anything.
And maybe Doubling Season.
And/or Giant Adephage.
Or, if you're lazy, use Biovisionary.

got this in the prerelease and was essential to winning the matches i won at varrious points copying rubblebelt raiders (fun) ivy lane denizen (crazy) and a palisade giant (5 of these on your side of the field is pretty hard to lose with) final impressions, this card is stupid good, if not dealt with it can very quickly turn around the game if it had any way to easily change it's initial target would be a massive 5/5 but as is still gets a happy 4.5 love it.
