Really seems powerful, mainly with Pests. Lycans not too much, because would be a trio deck.

By the way, the "daughter" have the nromal skill, right?

The concept is interesting, but Im a Biologist and Im sure "Parthenogenesis" would be a more correct name to this card.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis
Don't get too wrapped up in being scientifically accurate.   In the world of Elements, being close and catchy is better than being accurate: Adrenaline and Epinephrine are 2 different cards for the identical compound, but nobody's bothering to come up with a better name here either.
And you think I care? None of my suggestions were ever heard, and in fact its not a suggestion. Although I like Parthenogenesis name, and I think its a pretty name, Im ok about people using common sense and naming the card wrongly with the name of a process that occurs in the big majority of life forms without never generate another creature. No need to be accurate. Ok, I dont understand why to be accurate in the name of that Xhakaskdudjkhnv's Cat, that makes much less sense to me, because has nothing to do with Biology, but with a Physics hypotetical idea that is not even related to real world (the cat is not 50% dead and 50% alive all the time, nor a dead / alive mix). Ahhh, lets be accurate about that, and now we have in the game a card name with signals that are not in my alphabet, and I have no idea about how to pronounce the freaking name, great. :D

Stupid / unaccurate names apart, Im just pointing, Mitosis name is not correct as many people may think. Just is something most of you heard about at least once, so it may makes some sense for you, I assume :)

Edit: just remembering, when I said "deathstalker" name would make me to imagine a ghost, or a wraith, or something alike, and not a scorpion, and sugested to change it to Pit Scorpion or Grave Scorpion or something like this, people said "its a name of a real scorpion, what's the problem?". Just pointing, in Elements, the rule about scientific accuracy is having no rule. Zanz is accurate when and only when he wants, and sometimes hes unaccurate for no apparent reason. Ok, its his game, I just dont think its the best policy.

Infinite flying staves is quite powerful.... But I love being able to duplicate the flying weapon. Perhaps another solution, instead of changing the flying weapon combo will be found.... although I doubt it. However, I havent actually played AGAINST the flying weapon combo, so who knows, it might be quite easy to kill with a rush deck. In fact, I bet a rush deck COULD obliterate it.

IMHO, this card is very good. I recently made this in the trainer:
4 Empathetic Bonds
4 Mitosis
6 Devourer
4 Black Dragon
1 Nightfall
12 Green Pillars
Dark Mark

It's very affective (effective?) against Ai3 and some top 50. I'd post screenshots if I knew how...

Effective. Press PrtScr on your keyboard, paste into Paint or similar. Save, upload the file to imgur.com or similar. Paste URL here. Alternative way is to download screen-capture software. Google is your friend.

Mitosis Staffs is powerful enough to kill FG's, but Mitosis Vamp Daggers would be better for PvP purposes. That goes for Titan as well.

Mitosis is Op with dragons and SoR
But there's a simple solution change SoR to : The target creature's skill cost is reduced by 5.

Still, summoning a dragon for 5 seems a bit strong.... Maybe make Mitosis unaffected by SOR?

No, it needs card trio and shards are supposed to be OP.

I gotta say, even though it's really hard to do and not very worth it, I LOVE making Ball Lightning generators with Mitosis+Ball Lightning+some buff.  It's stupid, but it's just incredibly funny.

It will be interesting to see what changes await this card. Being able to duplicate right to the field... I have a feeling this wont stay, meanwhile, I think that going to the hand would be worthless unless the ability cost became 0. So all in all.. I guess I DO think it will stay.... wait what? anyhow. I havent seen any extremely fast decks based off of this yet. Wont be a meta game changer. Not for ai3 anyways.
Try this one, 7 turn Ferox kill with just longswords :))
Staves are likely better for being CC resistant and staying power they provide (healing) but this totally faster.

This card is hilariously broken.  Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.

Perhaps just not letting it be used on other cards... Regular weapons dont seem TOO powerful. Flying staves Id have to actuall face with my own none mytosis deck to know for sure though

OK, so I'm finally convinced that Mitosis might be broken on it's face.   Jade Staff + Mitosis + Animate with a few Epinephrines on it just got me -- in a row -- EMs against Destiny, Osiris, Ferox, and Paradox.  It was the first four games I tried with the deck.   I haven't tried any more, but 4/4 EMs is either waay unlikely, or the deck is just too durn strong. 

More testing is required.

Is the deck I used.
