Where it came from
Body Double was originally released in the Planar Chaos set in 2007, but this specific iteration appeared in the Commander 2017 preconstructed deck titled Arcane Wizardry. The card was designed as a blue shapeshifter that allows a player to enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature card in any graveyard, providing a flexible and thematic utility for graveyard-focused strategies. This reprint was curated to support the tribal Wizard theme of the deck, emphasizing the color pie's ability to manipulate the dead.
The artwork for this version was illustrated by Vance Kovacs, who utilized a surrealist aesthetic to capture the essence of a creature shifting its form. By depicting a nebulous, ethereal entity, the illustration effectively conveys the card's mechanical ability to mimic others. Within the broader context of Commander 2017, the card was well-received by players for its tactical versatility in multiplayer environments, where it can capitalize on the powerful threats discarded or destroyed by various opponents.
