"mask of the mimic a clone copying an illusion token and put illusion into play. what happens?" -ultratog1028
Clone is usually a copy of something else when it's in play, if it's copying a creature you control that isn't a token you can search out that creature, not a clone. If you somehow happen to have a clone in play that isn't copying something, you could search out another clone to either copy something in play or just become a 0/0 creature with static buffs from things like Glorious Anthem.
Nonetheless, you aren't required to find anything and put it into play, nor can you target a token, and clone when in play copying a creature is an exact copy of that creature, including name/power/toughness/color/abilities/mana cost/types and is not seen as a clone.

Note: the card you are searching for doesn't have to be a creature card. So if you target that Unhinged creature that can change his name, you could put any permanent card you want into play (as long as it's in your library).

Use with creatures that say "When this creature comes into play (something bad happens to your opponent)

Seems like it would be good to get more copies of cards that bring friends, such as Myr Battlesphere.

Mask of the Mimic targeting Child of Alara. GG.
Also fun: Mimic your Sundering Titan.
If you do both in the same game, you get an emblem with "Stare at target player: force that player to concede."

Does the target have to be in play because it just says target creature and not Target Creature in play? Im Thinking like Play a bird the play Mask of the Mimic and then with no creatures in play call Harbor Serpant? Then search my deck for Harbor Serpent then put it into play as the only creature on my side?
Can I do that or will the spell fizzle because it has not target creatures inplay?

@roguepariah: Nice. I had always misread this card as having to find a copy of the sacrificed creature, not any creature in play. I now have to completely reevaluate this card.
...
Reevaluation complete: This card is awesome. Play it with any enters-the-battlefield token generator for great justice. Not only that, but you can use it to dodge a kill spell if you have another decent creatures out (or if your opponent controls a creature that you also run in your deck, like in the mirror-match). Also, Radiate. It's like Doubling Chant, only more awesome because it's eccentric.
Turn your disposable first-turn critter into a second Phyrexian Dreadnought in response to the first's enters-the-battlefield trigger!
Bypass the annoying additional cost to cast to get a second Skaab Ruinator!
Turn your no-longer-relevant-in-the-late-game Birds of Paradise into a second...uh..... (see all)
