This card is sooooo underestimated. In an angel deck this card is great. For example, you can imprint as many creatures as you want. Imagine Akroma Angel of Wrath, Akroma Angel of Fury, Bane Slayer Angel, and Voice of All. So it's possible for Death-Mask Duplicate to have protection from all colors, flying, haste, vigilance, trample, protection from Demons and Dragons. Because angels have so many abilities that Death-Mask Duplicate can imprint it is an ideal choice for an angel deck. (notice WOTC tries to give players that hint because it is duplicating Luminous Angel.)

When's the last time you had a Progenitus in your graveyard?

The great thing about this card is that if you have more than one you can use them to imprint each other. So the abilities are never actually lost. This is only because it reads "As long as imprinted creature has flying Death-Mask Duplicate has flying."

Target yourself with Sudden Spoiling to sacrifice your Progenitus!
Or you could just attack with it, you know.

"Oh dang, you just removed Baneslayer Angel, and all those other cards?
And I can't target it with any of my removal?
Oh, let me kick this Gatekeeper of Malikir."
Haha, nah, this is a very good card.
I've just been feeling that with all the sacrifice-heavy cards out lately,
Things like "Shroud" and "protection" seem to just be words.
This is the bomb after you've milled yourself for a while.

If it were a 6-drop that could imprint cards from any graveyard, this might be pretty fun.

Should get errata to copy every ability creatures can have, not only the listed ones... other then that nice card

@Viceversa78, no you can't. The Duplicant only gets those abilities while it's a permanent (i.e. on the battlefield). Once it leaves the battlefield, those imprints become totally unassociated with it and are simply exiled. That means a Duplicant in the graveyard has no abilities beyond the imprint one, so imprinting it with another Duplicant achieves nothing.

Concerted Effort?

This is a stupid question but How would this work with an imprinted mirror golem? Would it have protection of all I printed types now? Or mirror golems pro ability only work on it's own imprint?
