Nyxborn Mimic enters the battlefield as a copy of any creature or enchantment on the battlefield, except it's an enchantment in addition to its other types.
An enchantment/creature clone variant I understand, but I really don't get why it copies artifacts.
Enchantment artifacts exist (granted it's just the God weapons, but there's precedence), but there are no enchantment lands (that I know of) or planeswalkers.

Of which there are only 5, all of which are legendary, none of which are nyxborn artifact creatures. Not sufficient to justify the nyxborn clone copying artifacts. Nothing about the flavor screams artifact-friendliness, either.
Let me rephrase my question: Why not just creatures and enchantments? Clone is the norm you should be starting from, not Clever Impersonator.
