Mitotic Manipulation

# Mitotic Manipulation Mitotic Manipulation represents a curious moment in Magic's design history as a rare blue instant from Mirrodin Besieged. The card appeals to collectors interested in infect mechanics and the artifact block's mechanical identity, though it never achieved significant constructed play. Its effect—copying a target artifact—feels narrow in retrospect, limiting its appeal beyond casual and limited formats. Collectors typically view this card as a set completion piece rather than a standout. The foil version holds modest appeal for those pursuing complete foil sets or infect-themed collections. Neither variant commands particular attention in the secondary market, making Mitotic Manipulation an accessible card for builders working on Mirrodin block nostalgia decks or comprehensive set collections without significant investment required.
