If you are having trouble finding broken mirror art, I made one just for you.   :)



It's not perfect, but it is legal.

Yes, but you need the same number to match 2,3 or 4 enemy dragons. And you need only one to match smaller creeps, and 2 to match medium creeps.
And your opponent's creeps are vulnerable to cc, whereas yours aren't. Combined with CC, this makes for some mean options.
Would love to use these with a time combo, i.e. reverse time. =)

I like the idea, but I think you should choose between making them untargetable or making them quite good attackers. Both is a bit too much.
For your interest I compiled a quick list of strategies which will be devastating against a deck that relies on Mirrors (of which you should stack 6 in a deck to be reliable - gotta get them out before your opponent gets his critters out!):
 :light - Blessing on an early creature, maybe a Pegasus.  Toss on Miracles for good measure.
 :darkness - Devourer denial and lifedrains early.  Heck, Steal is deadly all by itself.
 :life - Thorns with heal spells/empathy, even frogdrenaline or spirits.
 :death - Aflatoxin on your own thing, then skull shield and hope he isn't rolling a troublesome dual deck.  Sexington's would rock here!
 :fire - Explode the Mirrors, then anything goes.  Phoenixes for good measure, or even a single Fire Spirit.
 :water - Permafrost combined with anything, probably dragons.  Poison decks work great too.
 :air - Gas decks, FFQ, any form of flying weapons won't trigger Mirrors.
 :earth - EQ denial doesn't work completely, but any deck involving Diamond Shield (especially with PA) shuts this down completely.
 :gravity - Firemasters or flying Titans are about all you get.  This element will probably have the roughest time, especially mono.
 :entropy - Butterfly Effect decks are common enough, and Dissipation Shield takes 2 quanta per Elite Phantom to run.
 :time - Recommend deckout, time decks are built for that and there's not much else here unless you count Pharaoh - which I don't because hardly anyone uses him these days.
 :aether - Mirror vs mirror, or possibly Mindgate could prove useful.

There you go.  Blessing decks, darkness/earth denial, healthrough, shields, creature buffs, perm control, growth creatures, poison, flying weapons, creatureless, deckout... that's a lot of common strats that shut mirrors down HARD.  As I said before, your opponent is willingly triggering the effect on his turn - heh, I all but convinced myself this card is underpowered!

It's a viable card, though - just situational.

Do you have a URL?  I was unable to find any notice of copyright anywhere on the linked site.

Very nice idea, but imagine ~ plus empathy. Now imagine 2 ~. Possibly three. (~=broken mirror)

 :life :aether combo?  Kind of unusual.  Opponent's still gotta willingly trigger it, of course, and if they get even 4 damage's worth of creatures out before you get set up, all they have to do is wait for you to die while your mirrors and bonds do nothing.  Your suggestion is a valid strategy - in fact if this ever goes live, I'd expect to see it in action somewhere - but it's not an overpowered combo.  ;)

I guess only once because only one creature dies.

No.

Mirror's effect is not triggered on creature death - that's Boneyard.  This card is triggered when your opponent plays a creature out of his hand.

It's really overpowered. Phantoms are far to strong. 1|1 2|1 would be more reasonable.
