What it does
Marvin has all activated abilities of creatures you control that don't have the same name as this creature.
In a moment of bloodthirsty whimsy, a razorkin once picked up a ventriloquist's puppet and used it to terrorize a survivor. Now it hunts on its own, with no one pulling its strings.

Where it came from
Marvin, Murderous Mimic was released as part of the promotional suite for the 2024 Magic: The Gathering set, Duskmourn: House of Horror. The set draws heavy inspiration from 1980s horror tropes and VHS-era aesthetics, focusing on a haunted mansion that consumes reality. This specific card design utilizes the set's distinct 'flashlight' or 'horror film' frame treatment, which was crafted to evoke the feeling of peering through the darkness of a claustrophobic, supernatural setting.
The character Marvin serves as a thematic nod to the mimic trope common in tabletop role-playing games and horror media, reimagined through the lens of Duskmourn's surrealist, tech-infused terror. The illustration emphasizes the uncanny nature of a creature that assumes the likeness of others to lure victims, fitting seamlessly into the set’s broader narrative of objects and environments turning against their inhabitants. It was received as a versatile mechanical tool for players, valued for its ability to copy activated abilities of other artifacts or creatures.
