This is clearly flavored as a bunch of guys riding a huge beast, but what I see are etb/leave shenanigans.
Also, three of those can take turns riding each other infinitely.
wow..... I love the effect. In several cases when playing some sort of sac based theme in commander I do consider hiding away my own creatures with effects like Faceless Butcher given that it gives me some semblance of wrath protection as well as the option to return those other cards to retrigger their ETB on demand. I love this design.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Well, it does work, if you can get around the insane mana requirement... And now I am tempted to actually try to pull it off.
How does it work? The card clearly states non-token.
If you have three copies of this (or non-token clones), you get as many triggers of mirror march as you want, eventually overrunning your opponent.
Say you have beastie A. Then you add beastie B and have A ride it. Add beastie C, have B ride it, return A, have C ride it, retun B...

You need to have another read of Mirror Match. It also clearly says when a NONTOKEN creature enters.
And again, the Lumbering Battlement says that is exiles NONTOKENS creatures. So Copy C CAN'T exile Copy B. And even if it could Exile Copy B, then Copy B would cease to exist and never return.
They just don't work together as well as you think they do.

I guess A, B and C are non-token copies of the card. They cycle each other making tons of tokens each time.
I hope this becomes a standard deck with Mirror Image. Infinite ETBS on turn 6 (or earlier with ramp).
You can play with Arcades and a bunch of walls to basically draw your deck.

Honestly... not sure which colors would work best for a combo like this, and it is not very fast, but it's a combo.
Probably bant. Bant gives acess to Mirror Image and creature tutor creatures Knight of Autumn and ramp creatures. Even without a combo, Llanowar Elves into Llanowar Elves into this is a turn 3 8/9 vigilance.

Bonus points if you have enough cheap stuff that you can exile everything into the token, Thud, exile everything into the non-token (as it enters from exile), Thud, and win...in one turn.
Hey, a new card for my The Great Aurora / Notion Thief deck! Instead of having to exile Thief with Suspension Field after boosting its toughness (or using eg Mannichi, the Fevered Dream), I can just use this card alone -- more expensive, but makes it a 3-card combo rather than 4! Thanks, Wizards! I'm sure you designed this with my deck in mind...

"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

Seems like all it really needs is Mirror March and a sac outlet. Battlement A enters the battlefield, creates a token. Sac the token (in EDH this seems like a job for Phyrexian Altar ) returning Battlement A. Seems like this removes the need for B and C. Effective infinite mana. Add in Reveilark and Karmic Guide and there's your yard on the table. Feels generally safe in EDH because there are several other iterations of this loop.
This has no room for flavor text but I am pretty sure it was "Get in here nerd, we're going into battle" during the development.
