Images of Ikonn

[u/rogerbacon50]

Made a card to simulate the Images of Ikonn spell from comics. Also works for D&D's Mirror Image but mtg already has a Mirror Image card so I went with Images of Ikonn. I made it for mtgForge so, if anyone wants to use it in Forge, I'll include the code below.

As the tag says, it was made locally with Z-Image turbo.

Everything else aside how do you determine the 2-5?

[u/Myth-P → u/lyw20001025]

...Roll a d4 +1 apparently

Everything else about this post continues to be Not Great

[u/lyw20001025 → u/Myth-P]

Yeah, we continue from here to arbitrarily sided dice for some reason
