Spirit Mirror

Unique Creature Type

New • 13 Apr 2023 • Asked by majoraatio • 56 Comments

Why was the EMN card Cryptolith Fragment // Aurora of Emrakul deemed special enough to receive a unique creature type in Reflection, with it still being the only card with the type? Wouldn't Illusion or Spirit have served the same purpose?

You made Spirit Mirror cry.

Spirit Mirror Utility

New • 24 Apr 2019 • Asked by gibsoncat-9 • 30 Comments

Why did Spirit Mirror allow you to destroy the reflections? Just in case your opponent had one, too?

To help get around things like Pacifism.

Spirit Mirror Function

New • 10 Mar 2017 • Asked by matahxri • 12 Comments

What is the deal with the destroy ability on Spirit Mirror? Also, airline peanuts?

It allowed you to get rid of a Mirror token if something locked it down like Pacifism or Claustrophobia.

Reflection Tokens Note

New • 18 Jul 2016 • Asked by opinionsfromasingledatapoint • 21 Comments

Reflections appear as tokens on Spirit Mirror, and Pure Reflection. So it's not a new type, but it's the first time they've appeared on a type-line.

Mirror Card Fun Fact

New • 18 Jun 2015 • Asked by mtgfacts • 15 Comments

It's my birthday! My favourite cards to design are mirror-flavoured. What's some trivia about your favourite mirror or reflection?

Spirit Mirror was a card I designed in Tempest (my first design lead). My goal was to make a creature that could only be killed by enchantment destruction. The card turned into a fun Johnny card that I’ve seen a lot of players do cool things with. Happy Birthday!

Booby Trap Origin

Do you know who designed Booby Trap? It was in my first pack of cards, along with Spirit Mirror :-)

I designed both Booby Trap and Spirit Mirror. Note that Booby Trap was originally the card that became Letter Bomb in Unhinged (designed by Mike Elliott). We couldn’t figure out how to mark it so you knew whose card it was. Unhinged solved the problem by having you sign it.

Zero Activation Costs

New • 03 Oct 2012 • Asked by americantdreams • 5 Comments

Why aren't there many cards printed anymore that have activation costs for 0:? Too complicated ala Spirit Mirror and Nomads En-Kor?

It causes a lot of confusion. What exactly does paying 0 mean? It threw many players, so we tend to avoid it.

Do you think we'll ever see something like Spirit Mirror again?

Hopefully. I was very proud of Spirit Mirror.
