Welcome back to Name That Card! Today we have a creature that theoretically asks for the impossible. But in practice, all you really need to do is Clone as many times as necessary to crank out monsters. Or, alternatively, you can do this in draft. Unfortunately, I made the stats aggresively good so most blue players would pick this over most commons. But maybe you'll get lucky and draft five of these? Stranger things have happened.

Hexproof was added, because I really didn't want a person who was working hard to finally get the fifth creature on the table be denied with a pocket creature kill spell. But what it needs now is a name, a creature type, and a creature type for the token it produces. Have at it!

Giant Robotic Rhinoceros

I'll form the head.

Jace's Facet. Creature - Avatar Legendary Blue Avatar Creature Token called Beleren.

Btw, I assumed it was deliberate that you could do it more than once but I assumed you were supposed to have to control the creatures.

I felt like something must break this but nothing stood out. I'm not even sure it's the best creature to have four of :) Maybe in a silver bordered name changing deck :)

It's intentional you can do this every turn. The thought process being that if you do get five of them out, the game should end quickly, or an appropriate answer needs to come fast.

Gale Chaser
Human Wizard
Elemental

Trying to design a card which DOESN'T imply the five all merge into one

Clumsy Gatecrasher
Noggle Rogue
Giant Creature Token called "Perfectly Normal Traveller in a Large Trenchcoat"

OK, that one would be silver-border :)

Ooh! I finally got one!

School of Fish

Creates a token called Merged Megalodon

Ooh, I like the fish premise. Although I realised I kept making the same mistake and implying the separate creatures became the token. I wonder if something like "cloud of krill"/"rising whale" would get the same flavour that there could be more than one summoned by the same originals?

Creature: Human Wizard

NTC 042: Adept of the Mirror

Token = Awakened Refection

Archconjurer of the Unseen
Vedalken Wizard
Brain token

Hidden Gatebringer
Human Shaman
Colourless Eldrazi

Going for a ghost busters vibe. Wanted to go for "horror God" but eldrazi pretty much has that trope cornered

Chosen of Ilanté
Merfolk Shaman
Elemental token
Fear the gathering of those held dear by the Skymother. They carry her blessing in their hearts and her storm in their hands.
