Fair Splinter Twin with YOLO dash with its blitz ability. Being able to blitz this later in the game means you can copy a pretty juicy creature and then draw 2 cards when they both die, leaving you card neutral between Jaxis and the discard cost. This reminds me of Seasoned Pyromancer / Reflection of Kiki-Jiki in the sense that it's fairly versatile, although I wouldn't say it's particularly great at one single thing. Sacrifices itself / its tokens for aristocrat shenanigans, is a discard outlet, can reap some value with its copy ability, and has pseudo-cycling for 1R. Probably not for cubes with a fairly high power level ceiling unless it's a particularly large cube, but I do think this has potential as roleplayer for aristocrats / discard outlet / Kiki-Twin / Recurring Nightmare shells.
This does a bunch of good stuff in a pretty modest package. Spellshapers are sweet for discard outlets, and the draw a card from blitz means you can basically aggro-cycle this if it's not what you're looking for. The body at cost is quite bad though, as spellshapers always were.

@Steve_man I see you added this card into your cube.
Any comments about it? I would like Red-White Flicker to be more of a thing.
It's a good value version of Kiki-Twin. The floor of 1R blitz is very good for its cost. It's also a discard outlet for Recurring Nightmare in Rakdos shells. Kind of reminds me of a modern day Feldon of the Third Path, but copies something in play instead of the graveyard. I might also try to test out Legendary Matters in the near future, so this will be part of that package for critical mass if that becomes a thing.
Blitz creatures in general have gotten a lot better with how popular Bombardiers / Gut are now. Jaxis works particularly well with Bombardiers since copying it is potentially 15 damage (4 combat damage + 6 damage sacrificing Jaxis + 5 damage sacrificing the copy of Bombardiers). Even without copying, it's still 10 potential damage (4 combat damage + 6 damage sacrificing Jaxis).
