Now that the legends rule has changed and each player can control one of each legendary creature, he's much obviously better than Clone; now neither of them kill an opponent's legend, but Sakashima still lets you have two of your own legend.

Sakashima now has a student - Sakashima's Student. And he's wearing one of those masks, and he's a ninja too!

In my blue EDH deck I use him to copy Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur as often as possible.

Use this card to copy Iona, Shield of Emeria, and you can block two colors that opponents are using.

In a 5 player EDH, I played Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. A friend then played Sakashima the Impostor copying Elesh. Fun was had by all except the other 3 players. Now, if only I had played the Sakashima...

I love it! Who needs to kill a general when you can have two!?

It took me a while to really grasp the "its name is still Sakashima the Impostor" line... But then my jaw, it dropped!

I agree with A3Kitsune, basically, all shapeshifters should work like this, after all, in-universe, a shapeshifter looking like Volrath died to Gerrard's blade in the Evincar's place!

Also, the thought that this lady goes to her wardrobe and pulls a disguise that then makes her into a titanic Elder God monstrosity is highly amusing. :D

His flavor text should have been.
"I don't want to kill you. What would I be without you?"

Yes, you can copy a Legendary creature and they remain in the battlefield! It's a reusable Clone, but it's Legendary so you can't have more than one in the battlefield.
Clone:
-easier casting cost
-kills Legends

Sakashima:
-doesn't kill Legends
-reusable
-At its worst is a 3/1 for 2BlueBlue
-It's Legendary

5/5
