What it does
Whenever you cast a spell that's both red and white, this creature has base power and toughness 4/2 until end of turn and gains first strike until end of turn.
Mimics don't need perfect disguises. They need only the perfect victims: the naive, the young, or the poor of sight.

Where it came from
The Battlegate Mimic was released in 2008 as part of the Eventide expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Eventide served as the conclusion to the Shadowmoor block, a set themed around the darker, decaying reflection of a folklore-inspired world. The card reflects the set's central mechanic of hybrid mana, which allowed players to cast spells using either of two colors, reflecting the shifting nature of the plane's inhabitants during the transition from day to night.
The card was illustrated by the artist Dave Kendall, whose work is characterized by a stark, atmospheric aesthetic that fits the gloomy, Gothic-inspired tone of the Shadowmoor block. Kendall designed the mimic to convey the visual trope of a predatory object, emphasizing its unsettling, metamorphic quality. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional, niche utility piece, often utilized in aggressive white and red decks to boost the power of smaller creatures during combat.
