But this card is begging to be abused by Quasiduplicate. It's like an infinite fog machine with that card that happens to be a hexproof creature too. Time to look up what Illusions are legal in Standard...
Seriously speaking, this is VERY interesting. Blinking this is going to be a thing for sure.
I read it as "berthid", so I knew it was a Simic card, but thought, like a ship's berth.
I also read it on my phone.
