Random Generator gave me Myr Welder and Truth or Tale. Oddly, this plays into the 'likes instants' theme in blue, even if it isn't apparent at first blush. It seems... breakable... like I should put it in Challenge # 052 instead of here. But it isn't any worse than Body Double right? Body Double is fair, right?

Wowee. Delightful.

I think it has potential for things slightly more broken than Body Double, Dimir Doppelganger etc permitted. Because this can potentially get a bunch of, say, activated abilities from one permanent to resolve while the source is a different non-creature permanent. Dimir Doppelganger could fire off five Arc-Slogger activations and become a Glistener Elf in response (so by the time they resolved the source had infect); this can do that kind of thing with noncreature cards.

I think it's more "enables funky tricks that haven't been possible before" than "broken".

Why not just choose a "permanent card"?

Huh. You can say 'permanent card', huh? Bifurcate's oracle text proves it. Okay, Permanent card it is.

­Nature's Spiral is my proof text card for that phrase. You're not the first one to think it's suspicious.
