About Stolen Identity

Stolen Identity, Sorcery, designed by Clint Cearley first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.38.

This card, Stolen Identity, would be beneficial in a deck focused on controlling the board by copying powerful artifacts or creatures from your opponents. While it offers versatility with the Cipher ability, there are potentially better options like Clone or Phyrexian Metamorph that have lower mana costs and can be played multiple times without the need for additional conditions. However, Stolen Identity could still see play in a deck looking to capitalize on its unique ability to create copies and provide incremental advantage over time.

Rules

04/15/13

If a creature with an encoded card deals combat damage to more than one player simultaneously (perhaps because some of the combat damage was redirected), the triggered ability will trigger once for each player it deals combat damage to. Each ability will create a copy of the exiled card and allow you to cast it.

04/15/13

If the spell with cipher doesn’t resolve, none of its effects will happen, including cipher. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be encoded on a creature.

04/15/13

If you want to encode the card with cipher onto a noncreature permanent such as a Keyrune that can turn into a creature, that permanent has to be a creature before the spell with cipher starts resolving. You can choose only a creature to encode the card onto.

04/15/13

The exiled card with cipher grants a triggered ability to the creature it’s encoded on. If that creature loses that ability and subsequently deals combat damage to a player, the triggered ability won’t trigger. However, the exiled card will continue to be encoded on that creature.

04/15/13

The spell with cipher is encoded on the creature as part of that spell’s resolution, just after the spell’s other effects. That card goes directly from the stack to exile. It never goes to the graveyard.

04/15/13

You cast the copy of the card with cipher during the resolution of the triggered ability. Ignore timing restrictions based on the card’s type.

01/24/13

If the copied permanent has in its mana cost, X is considered to be zero.

01/24/13

If the copied permanent is a token, the token that’s created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield.

01/24/13

If the token you create is a copy of a creature, you can exile Stolen Identity encoded on that token.
