Loses to veiler, but with Spellbook Star Hall or Spellbook of Wisdom, this card becomes a +0 that can run over any of your opponent's monsters, or crash into a problem card like Thunder King Rai-Oh. I also remember playing this against one of my friends. He summoned a monster and got it up to 5400 ATK. I brought back copycat with Call of the Haunted, and then ended up summoning Junk Warrior. Needless to say, he raged.

1 of the funniest most situationally stable Level 1 monsters imo. Ram into BLS with a boost of Spellbook of Power for lolz

When this card is Summoned, it is already being boosted by Star Hall. Unless you play another Spellbook, it will tie with the monster on the field. And in most cases Priestess works better.

It's not the worst (you can always copy their strongest monster and kill a different one), but it's rarely "good".

I once made a broken monster that couldn't be removed from the field by any effect and had 5000 ATK.
My friend pulled this on it.

Kills Spirit Reapers.

If it also copied the effect of the targeted monster, would it be used more often or would it still be underused?

Dark Panther and Copycat in one monster mighty be a bit much. Deprnds on what it copies, though, I suppose.

It was fun at first back in the day, but at some point, only being able to copy the original stats hurt it pretty badly.
If it copied the current ones, it'd always be safe to crash with something on it's own. Otherwise.... he has Honest I guess...

Damn Upperdeck, I wanted this and Blue-Eyes Ultimate, both printed for TCG back when the Starter Decks came out, not when they became pretty much too slow/inconsistent/outclassed to the game.
