Card face

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.

Provenance

Where it came from

Marvin, Murderous Mimic was released in 2024 as part of the Duskmourn: House of Horror set for Magic: The Gathering. The card is designed to evoke the set's central theme of 1980s-inspired supernatural horror, specifically focusing on the trope of sentient, malevolent objects trapped within the titular haunted house. Mechanically, it reflects the mimic archetype by allowing players to copy the activated abilities of other creatures, a design choice intended to reward creative deck-building and synergy-heavy play styles.

The artwork was created by Mirko Failoni, a regular contributor to the game who is known for his atmospheric and often unsettling fantasy illustrations. In this piece, Failoni emphasizes the grotesque, shifting nature of the creature, utilizing lighting and texture to blend the mimic into the disorienting, claustrophobic aesthetic of the Duskmourn setting. Upon its release, the card was received positively by the Commander format community, where its versatility and unique ability to pivot between different utility roles earned it a place in various artifact-focused strategies.
