Card rulings 7
  1. The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (except that the copy also has haste) and nothing else (unless it's copying a creature that's a token or that's copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether the creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on. Most notably, if the target creature isn't normally a creature, the copy won't be a creature.
  2. If the copied creature has X mana in its mana cost, X is 0.
  3. If a copied creature is copying something else, the token you create will use the copiable values of the target creature. In most cases, it will just be a copy of whatever that creature is copying.
  4. If a copied creature is a token that isn't a copy of something else, the copy copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created it.
  5. Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied creature card will also work.
  6. If another creature becomes a copy of, or enters the battlefield as a copy of, the token, that creature will copy the creature card the token is copying, except it will also have haste. However, you won't sacrifice the new copy at the beginning of the next end step.
  7. If Kiki-Jiki's ability creates multiple tokens due to a replacement effect (such as the one Doubling Season creates), you'll sacrifice each of them.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker can turn the best nonlegendary creature on your battlefield into a repeatable effect. Tap him to create a hasty token copy, then sacrifice that token at the next end step. His own haste means the first activation is available immediately, making a five-mana investment capable of producing value before you pass the turn.

For a fair value plan, copy a creature such as Solemn Simulacrum or Imperial Recruiter. The token supplies another entry trigger, can attack or activate a suitable ability, and may offer a death trigger when it is sacrificed. Copying a creature with a useful tap ability can also matter because the token gains haste.

Zealous Conscripts provides a dedicated loop. Its copied token can target Kiki-Jiki with the entry ability, untapping him so he can create another Conscripts token. Repeating the sequence produces a growing army of hasty tokens while the pieces remain available. The copies are temporary, so the line typically aims to use them during that turn.

The target restriction is central: Kiki-Jiki cannot copy a legendary creature through his printed ability. He also does not copy counters, attached Equipment, or most temporary modifications. Choose a creature whose actual copied characteristics and entry abilities produce the result you want.

Three red mana symbols make reliable red sources important, even in a multicolor deck with strong copy targets. Keep the first activation in mind before casting him; a battlefield with no worthwhile legal target turns a powerful engine into a fragile setup piece. With a useful target ready, he can support incremental value, a sudden attack, or a planned combo without changing the rest of his basic operation.
