Progenitor Mimic Trivia

It's my Birthday today and I remembered to ask for some trivia this year. Have you got any trivia on my favourite card, Progenitor Mimic? If not, just a Happy Birthday will be fine :)

I think the earliest version was an enchantment that just made clone tokens each turn, but it got weird if the card it was locked on went away, so we made it a clone to help clarify what it was copying.Happy Birthday!

Green Clone Mechanics

Is Green allowed to clone? I didn't think so, but Progenitor Mimic is a clone with Followed Footsteps, so I'm not sure

Green does a little bit usually with token copies or getting a duplicate copy out of your hand or library.

Goblin Test Pilots Chaos

Happy Birthday you old coot, here's a funny bit of magic that happened during the Dragon's Maze draft. Being the dashing rogue that I am I drafted as many Goblin Test Pilots as possible. I ended up playing against someone who pulled a Progenitor Mimic. Long story short there was over 20 Test Pilots on the board between the two of us before we activated them all, one in response to another. Pretty much the whole store gathered around the table to watch everything resolve.

Color Pie and Cloning

So are you meaning to say that Progenitor Mimic and Altered Ego are out of colour pie? Or answering about blue/green hybrid clone?

I was talking about MonoGreen. Once Blue gets involved, Green can clone all it likes.

Clone Cards Cycle Status

Do you consider "dack's duplicate"(UR), "evil twin"(UB) and "progenitor mimic"(UG) to be part of an unfinished cycle? Is a UW clone on a short list?

I do not consider it a cycle.

Progenitor Mimic Trivia

Hi, my birthday was Aug 4, trying again since my bday Q was missed this year and the last, could I get trivia on one of my all-time favorite cards: Progenitor Mimic? Thank you so much.

Progenitor Mimic was us messing around with two similar abilities that appear in Blue and Green. Blue gets cloning while Green is allowed to make token copies of its stuff. Often on multicolor cards, we like mixing two similar mechanics together to make something new. Also, it felt very Simic-y. Happy Birthday!

Progenitor Mimic Mechanics

Un-rules question! If my foil Progenitor Mimic targets a non-foil creature, do they token copies I make at upkeep get the buff from Super Secret Tech?

The copies take on the qualities of what they copy and in silver-bordered world this includes foil-ness.

Clone Attack Clarification

Can you attack with a Clone of a Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug the turn before you cast it? If so, do you have to pay 3R or 3U during your next turn (reminder text suggests 3R)? If 3R, is this a good way to get a Progenitor Mimic out cheap? If so, can you attack with the token copies the turn before they come into play? If so, do you have to pay their mana costs or not?

EDIT: I got this wrong the first time so let me get this correct. Superhaste is not haste. What it does is it allows you to put the card from your hand and attack with it the turn before you play it. By the time you can clone it, it is too late to be able to invoke the super haste. So, you spend 3U and get a red 3/1 with super haste, an ability you will not be able to use. You do not though have to spend 3R next turn.
