As I write this, it's been months since I've since I played a game of Commander, and I think no card so far has gotten me as excited to play again more than this one.
The first thought that got to my head when I first saw this was it was a (sort of) a red version of Insurrection. Clearly an example of "cast-this-now-and-win-or-die-the-next-turn" kind of spells, Clone Legion is yet another epic way of ending a game, which is perfect for multiplayer Commander games. The fact that they both scale with the power of one's opponents is another bonus.
Their color-heavy casting costs don't even bother me at all: I can't wait to build a deck that includes BOTH cards. While there are plenty of commanders out there who have the color identities to accommodate these two, only one legendary creature can do so while still being in the theme of begging and stealing: and she's not even red nor blue.
