ART: None IDEA: Arum NOTES: I had difficulty putting this into any one catagory so I made it Other for the time being. This would be useful, as it carries over the ability. An example is Devourer. You can risk one devourer for a splintered copy with the original ability. The skill Splinter is reusable. It's only OP if the owner uses it right. The shadow self is sort of like mutation in the sense that it technically isn't real. If you PU or fractal it, you just get the original creature, or a random creature. SERIES: Not right now, possibly.

What's the difference between this and mitosis except the initial stats of copies

Less cost, useable by all quanta types, fits anywhere. (Splintered Psions anyone?)

But I think this card is even more powerful than the original mitosis

1. It's cheaper

2. It can be used in any deck

3. It gives stats to copies. What will happen if you use it on Deathstalker / Dune scorpions / Voodoo Dolls / Wardens. These creatures are made to have zero initial attack for balance.

Voodoo dolls aren't really a problem, just 1/2 attack is fine. Dstalker and Dune both are blocked by shields easily, assuming you packed one. If not, then the opponent/you get lucky. Wardens are pretty much the same as Dstalker/Dune, just a little dangerous. Bit like Parasites/Pests or whatever.
It's pretty situational.
They're also equal in a sense, because you can have either same stat creatures(dragon spell, anyone?) and abilities, or shadow copies and abilities. Your choice.

I think the idea of a "Shadow Self" would make this fit the  theme best personally.

Possibly, though Darkness relies on using the opponent's strengths against them. This seems more of earth, useable of defence.
