Created for Challenge # 102. Wow, it's really hard to create mythic creatures that have to cost 12+ mana... because mythics at 8 mana are already absurdly good. (Liege of the Tangle? Utvara Hellkite?)
One approach we could take, inspired by Rise of the Eldrazi, is to try to design some uncommon (or even common) 12+ mana cards. I was thinking about that kind of thing, when I remembered Rite of Replication and thought that'd be a candidate for an effect that could be scaled up to justify 12 mana. When I had this idea I figured mythic was the best place for it.
Wasn't sure whether to make this guy himself also become a copy of one of the targets, perhaps with a Quicksilver Gargantuan gloss on things, but I thought that'd distract from the "Bwahahaa! 36 tokens!" factor.
This needs to specify "other" creatures. Otherwise, it's pretty awesome.
Hah, yes, otherwise looping it to get 216 tokens (or 1296, or 7776, or...) would be a bit excessive.
you know what? Let's take a leaf out of Jin-Gitaxias's book and give this flash too
Giving it Flash is much more potent, I'm sure.
Bwahaha! Yes, adding Flash would be truly, truly scary. But, eh, mumble mumble Protean Hulk mumble banned in Legacy murble.
