The Mimeoplasm (Untested)

[volrathxp]

So I've been looking at this guy, because he's fun to play with, and I built this up. Not sure how well it works, as it's not tested yet, but looking to make sure I'm on the right track here.

I have never tried, but I think you can't put 2 queries inside the same action, you probably need to split the first RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION in 2 (and repeat the filtering for each one). You are also using register #1 both for the second target and the copiable values, you need to change one of them.

Just in case you are looking for the hi-res art

Yeah, I was thinking about that. I will have to stick him in a deck and run through some tests, methinks and try that.

I also just realized I need to fix the EffectController() line in the filter since Mimeoplasm can pull from any yard. d'oh.

I made an attempt at The Mimeoplasm's ability, cleaning your code in the process:

I checked for the presence of at least 2 creatures in graveyards and I removed the "may" from the second choice because Gatherer says you can't choose just one creature, either 2 or none. So as soon as you chose the first one you are bound to choose the second.

Yep. I got him working, I just needed to remove the may clause and check for creatures.
