What it does
Whenever you cast a spell that's both white and black, this creature has base power and toughness 4/4 until end of turn and gains flying until end of turn.
A mimic need only touch a being to learn its shape, but touching usually leads to mauling and messily eating.

Where it came from
Nightsky Mimic was released in 2008 as part of the Eventide expansion, the second set in the Shadowmoor block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed to explore the concept of a shifting world, emphasizing the interplay between color-based mechanics and hybrid mana. As a common creature, the Mimic was crafted to function as a versatile engine for decks focusing on white and black mana, reflecting the set's central theme of night-themed, gothic-inspired transformation.
The card was illustrated by Franz Vohwinkel, a prolific artist who has contributed hundreds of works to the game. Vohwinkel focused on portraying the creature's ethereal, shapeshifting nature, blending shadowy aesthetics with the distinct visual language established for the world of Shadowmoor. The design was received as a functional, low-cost utility creature, favored by players for its ability to grow in power when triggered by specific multicolored spells during the competitive Limited and Constructed formats of the era.
