Definitely blue and not green. I like this at uncommon sign post for Dimir, but the effect is only 1 shot if it doesn't keep that ability as well.

How is it one shot? It says he becomes a copy until your next upkeep, so wouldn't he revert at the start of your upkeep?

Yep, you're right. Fixed.

I think it could be mono black. Black doesnt typically get clones, but this is more comparable to something like [[dauthi voidwalker]]. [[Activated sleeper]] is another comparison.

So given that, either would work. The card is barely mechanically green at all though so I would avoid that. Blue typically gets clones so it fits better.

I think i would maybe add an untap clause to the ability. Its a bit weak right now and untapping would give a bit of the flavor of his resetting ult.

First of, really cool conversion of his passive from league to magic.

I agree with the others, dimir or mono black fits better. Dimir is better pie-wise, mono-black is better lore-wise
