The Mimeoplasm is a legendary ooze from Muraganda. It has the ability to absorb the power of already dead creatures to advance its own form.

Even if little is truly known of this bizzarre entity, every civilization of the plane is aware of its existence. It got its name from the fang druids, which calls it the Mimeoplasm, as it absorbs the traits of anything it engulfs. The Mimeoplasm is always followed in its roaming by the saurid warriors of the south, who believe it to be the key to a mysterious afterlife, and hope to see in it traces of their fallen loved ones. The elves of the tropics believe that the Mimeoplasm be part of nature's cycle, a way to channel death back into life; while the scarwitches hiss when it approaches, seeing it as the ultimate enemy of the world. Whether it's a natural process or a malevolent force, the Mimeoplasm never fails to command respect.

Marketing

A special Sol Ring Commander promo (foil and non-foil) with new art by Mark Tedin was released at Grand Prix Las Vegas, prior to the release of Commander 2019.[12][13] It will be available through Commander events at MagicFests throughout the year, and at select conventions in 2020.

Mechanics

The European Distributor Blackfire accidently posted the information that each deck had a returning keyword ability as its main theme.[14] The four featured abilities are populate, flashback, morph (including manifest and megamorph[11]), and madness. This was later confirmed in the Magic panel at Gen Con 2019.[10]
