So you would think they would just love to see mystic reflection targeting an enchantment creature Zur made, and making a ton of copies of those \"target nonlegendary creatures\" using cards that make tokens! Who wants 20 copies of Forced Fruition on the battlefield, each a 6/6 deathtouching lifelinker with hexproof?\n"}]}
