Because blue devo needed 4 more masters at instant speed.

So it's a worse Cackling Counterpart. It's still cool but I'd prefer counterpart.

8 masters of waves?

Time to fire up the slivers_clone.dec!

So far, this cycle looks really cool.

I think I want this card in my Scry/Biovisionary deck! I'd also like to point out the potential amusement of using this card to trigger heroic on something as you copy it, in preparation for casting triton tactics on both. Could be good in a heroic/inspired deck that includes blue.

I like this one almost as much as Stolen Identity. I can easily see this being played in a Zegana deck because of the new Legend Rule.

I like the Narcissus reference, even if it doesn't quite fit.

You mean like:

Biovisonary + artisan of forms + this + triton tactics. I think that's 6 biovisonaries. 6 anything is pretty good.

How did they fail to name this card "Narcissism" though?

I guess a direct allusion would involve a creature dying and leaving a 0/1 Flower Token on the battlefield, and no one in magic wants Flower Tokens.

Who doesn't want flower tokens?

How is this any more than three biovisionaries?

Not to mention, other than concern for spot removal in a ramp and draw heavy biovisionary deck, I'm not even sure why 6 biovisionary would be a thing.

Artisan only becomes a copy, it doesn't make a copy token. - that's were I screwed up. Sorry.
