TCG Playability
Creature — Human Citizen
Squad {2} (As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may pay {2} any number of times. When this creature enters, create that many tokens that are copies of it.) Whenever this creature attacks, each creature you control named Gary Clone gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
"Gary!"
Gary Clone is a versatile white creature that rewards aggressive token strategies while remaining efficient at just one white mana and one generic mana. The Squad mechanic allows you to pay an additional two mana any number of times as you cast this spell, instantly generating multiple copies of Gary Clone when it enters the battlefield. This creates immediate board presence and scales perfectly with your available mana, making it an exceptional turn-one or turn-two play that can quickly spiral out of control. The creature's second ability amplifies this advantage significantly, as each copy of Gary Clone you control gets a permanent +1/+0 boost whenever any Gary Clone attacks, turning what might seem like a fragile 1/3 body into a serious threat. A single Squad activation creating two copies means you're attacking with three 2/3 flyers, and subsequent turns compound this advantage further. This card slots beautifully into white token strategies, go-wide aggro decks, and any archetype leveraging creature copying mechanics. In Commander, particularly in Oathbreaker with the right partner choice, Gary Clone enables explosive turns while remaining mana-efficient for its power level. The card is legal across Legacy, Vintage, Commander, Oathbreaker, and Duel Commander formats, making it accessible to multiple play environments. Players seeking efficient token generators that create immediate evasive threats while building toward overwhelming board states will find Gary Clone an exceptional addition to their collection and brewing prospects.
