Assemble the General Cannon!
Step 1 : Cast Mimic Vat.
Step 2: Cast Phantasmal Image on a General, imprint image on Vat.
Congrats, you may now destroy target general for {3}.
Oh and titans are now amazing for you.

Insane in limited. If a bomb is played, being able to play it every turn for 3 mana is just fantastic. If not, any old infect creature means that even if you just end up chump blocking you'll still gradually wither the attacker away. ^^
Could see it being played in constructed. Despite plenty of obvious interactions, perhaps with the loss of Oblivion Ring, Maelstrom Pulse and Pithing Needle, Mimic Vat + Vampire Hexmage will become nice planeswalker removal (3 mana to kill a planeswalker, repeatedly = noice!).

@BioPrince your Hypothesis is correct.
Also if you do it at end of opps end step it won't exile until beggining of next end step so you can untap use it a second time and kick arse with 2 titans and 8 lands. Lol

so, i have to ask, if Gideon Jura uses his third ability, then was somehow killed, lets say with a doom blade, then it would be possible to imprint him on this, if i understand it correctly, right?
It is to my understanding that, due to Gideon Jura being a creature when he is destroyed, the effect would still be able to target him, and it only says that the second effect of mimic vat returns the imprinted "card".
please correct me if i am wrong, and explain why i would be wrong.

3 or 4 kinds of crazy here. Wasn't it cards like this that made Mirrodan so busted the first time around?

This is pretty great in infect decks. Recur Putrefax and Prized Unicorn for crazyness.

Won two rounds in the sealed pre-release with Mimic Vat and Myr Battlesphere. Wrecked the opponent who was very ahead in the poison count (>7) because now he had to deal with 8 chump blocking Myr tokens along with my other creatures.
Little place in my heart is now reserved... I'm sure I'll try to add it where it doesn't belong due to a great first impression.

My favourite play with this is: Throne of Geth, Wurmcoil Engine, Mimic Vat. The combo is pretty straight forward, but I will explain. Play the Throne of Geth, the Mimic Vat and the Wurmcoil Engine, sacrifice the Engine to the Throne, gaining two 3/3 wurms, Proliferating and Imprinting, then pay {3} each turn (or opponent's end step) to repeat and build a large army of 3/3 wurms. Then just send your army and your opponent if you have'nt Posioned them already.
