Mutavault - Magic the Gathering

Sliver Mutant Ninja Turtle!
This guy is a reprint from Morningtide, and a very clever one in my opinion. Morningtide was part of the two-set tribal block called Lorwyn. Lorwyn had a group of shapeshifters, the Changelings, who could become any and all creature types. Mutavault is essentially Mishra's Factory meets changeling.

So why is this a good reprint for M14. M14 has Slivers. Slivers give their abilities to all other Slivers (originally all Slivers in play, but now just your Slivers to reduce board complexity). Since Mutavault has all creature types, Mutavault counts as a Sliver. This also brings up the amusing fact that it's also a Sliver Pirate Praetor Samurai Slith Artificer etc. It can be a Sliver that knows every single occupation, making for an impressive resume.
