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. Designed to evoke the aesthetic of 1980s slasher films and supernatural thrillers, the card represents the set's focus on haunted house tropes. The design team created Marvin as an artifact creature that can mimic the activated abilities of other creatures, a mechanic intended to reflect the mimic's nature as an unsettling shapeshifter within the sprawling, trapped environment of the House.
The artwork for this promotional version emphasizes the grotesque and unsettling tone characteristic of the Duskmourn expansion. Illustrators for the set were tasked with capturing a retro-horror sensibility, drawing inspiration from practical effects and claustrophobic creature designs. Upon its release, the card was noted for its unique ability to bridge complex creature interactions, earning a positive reception from players who enjoy combo-heavy deck archetypes.
