# Sakashima's Student Sakashima's Student represents a specific moment in Magic's clone creature design. As a rare from Planechase 2012, it occupies the middle ground between casual multiplayer appeal and constructed viability. The card's clone ability tied to a creature entering the battlefield reflects the mechanical direction Wizards was exploring for copy effects during that era. Collectors view this card primarily through the lens of its set rather than individual power level. Planechase products have always attracted players interested in the format's unique appeal, making cards from these sets somewhat niche. The nonfoil-only status limits variant options, which actually simplifies collecting for completionists working through the set. It's the kind of card that matters more for set completion than standalone demand.
