If I have a Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer and a token enchanted with Metamorphic Alteration and I choose that token with Brudiclad's ability, do all of my tokens become token copies of the creature being copied by Metamorphic Alteration? I've always been terrible at layering

That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating. Take it back!
My big problem with this card is it's just an efficient pile of numbers. If your efficient pile of numbers needs to be mythic for limited you shouldn't have pushed it so much, because it isn't doing anything interesting for the game as a whole

Angrath seems aggressively mediocre. If there is a black and red aggressive midrange deck he'll fit in that once Glorybringer leaves but he isn't powerful enough to create an archetype on his own.

Not necessarily on theme, but I think having the face commanders of the next bunch be flip cards would be an interesting gimmick. Especially if you are talking about Urza and Yawgmoth

The fake situation is what is going to bring this to a head. We are not far off from having fakes that are indistinguishable from the real card. When that happens the reserved list is meaningless whether Wizards wants it to be or not. The bubble will burst. It is in everyone's best interest, including the speculators, to have that bubble dealt with in a controlled manner by Wizards and not from some counterfeiter's printing press.

Cards like this are fine if you can limit the choice. In a RB aggro deck you chip in for handful of damage and then play this t4. Your opponent is pretty much forced into letting you draw at least one or two cards. If it's jank you didn't need you go deeper to drawing gas. If it's something you need it's a bolt to the face. If played in conjunction with the HOU torment cards you can begin to remove the choice aspect and the card starts doing impactful things.
Torment of hailfire after countering something juicy with spell swindle is going to be back breaking for a lot of decks if you've kept the field clean prior to casting it. This fits well into the game plan I think although glimmer may be better. There are plenty of U and B spells to control the game until that point. Firing off a timely swindle can also set up for an instant kill the following turn with marrionette master. You now have a variety of end games (1 ctr and 1 spell).
Quick scenario:
You spell swindle a 6 drop like torrential gearhulk or the new vraska and get 6 tokens. Next turn you untap, drop marionette master fabricating to buff, crack your 6 tokens for mana to resolve the drains, bontu's last reckoning, then play this. Wtf is your opponent gonna do... exile the cards? May seem magical Christmas land but that just requires you to have a handful of cards control is already going to be running potentially. Up to that point your using glimmer/counters/discard/removal to hang in the game and shape your hand. When you start gearhulking swindles back it's value town all day long.
The problem with playing this in an aggro deck is that you will have bad cards in the late game that don't matter, and the problem with playing this in a not aggro deck is that your opponent will just laugh and take 9 with no repercussion.

Granted, I was punished because my opponent top decked out of it and I drew garbage and I managed to lose
No one will ever need more than one of each piece of power. Some people might need 4 of a given dual
