This card could just say "Defender, indestructible; Nonland permanents that share a name with this permanent lose all abilities and become creatures with base power and toughness 0/1." That's functionally identical.

Legendary + "The legend rule doesn't apply to this name" is an excessively verbose no-op. Why even bother with the supertype?

Since all copies of the ability say "loses all other abilities", I think they all depend on each other, so it falls back to timestamp order (613.7b).

I think you have to uses dependencies, not time stamps, since both copy effects are in the same layer. TBH, I don't get dependencies.

Nifty. I like that she's at least a Darksteel Myr even without any name-changing effects going on. Since she has defender, I wonder if she could have 1 power? Or if that'd be too good?

You can get slightly weird effects if, say, one player has an Evil Twin of this. I think timestamps will say that actually neither creature has the "kill my twin" ability. Similarly, if I then turn face-up a Vesuvan Shapeshifter copying this, neither will have the "turn face down" trigger. But if the original now goes away, I think both the Twin and the Shapeshifter will gain the "kill my twin" ability, but not the "turn face down" trigger. I think.

Anyway. There's oddnesses there, but the rules do say what happens, and it's definitely edge cases, so no need to change anything.

It's more a flavour:
1. It has to be a mirror thing
2. It has to be name based
3. It has to be harmful

Now it's just like Divine Reckoning.
