What Sakashima the Impostor Does
Sakashima the Impostor can enter the battlefield as a copy of a creature, except its name remains Sakashima the Impostor, it is legendary, and it gains an activated ability that can return it to your hand at the beginning of the next end step.
The card is strongest when there are high-value creatures to copy or when your deck wants repeatable clone utility. It is less effective in creature-light decks or metas without strong copy targets.
