What it does
Whenever a nontoken creature you control enters, you may pay 2 generic mana. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it has haste and "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this permanent."
To crack a mirror is to provide an opening for the reflection to escape.

Where it came from
Minion Reflector was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused on the concept of 'shards,' plane-wide environments defined by specific color philosophies, and this card was designed to support the artifact-heavy themes prevalent in the Grixis shard. It functions as a utility piece that allows players to create temporary token copies of creatures as they enter the battlefield, emphasizing the set's mechanical interest in creature synergies and board presence.
The card's visual identity was crafted by veteran fantasy illustrator Mark Tedin, whose work has been a staple of the game since its inception. Tedin designed the artifact with a distinctive, somewhat unsettling aesthetic that fits the darker, mana-starved atmosphere of the Grixis plane. Upon its release, the card was generally viewed by players as a specialized tool for Commander and casual formats, valued for its ability to trigger 'enter the battlefield' effects multiple times rather than for its competitive efficiency in high-speed formats.
