If you must clone Denizen of the Deep, Dimir Doppleganger works fine. Afterall, Denizen's ability only happens when it comes into play.

Great card! Great to see it's in 10th edition but I hate the new art. They should have kept the original.

In response to the previous reviewer, if one were to play a Clone choosing Denizen of the Deep to copy, when the Clone came into play it would return Denizen of the Deep (along with everyone else) to its owner's hand. So... not quite so useful. On the other hand, this card does have some fun combo potential...

just one of these and a few clones then you can really start dominating the field, it also makes an awesome tank, all it could need now is some ability to block multiple creatures at once.

A creature that costs 8 mana to play needs to do something awesome. An 11/11 is close, but unless you give it trample or some evasion ability it is not close enough.

This is a johnny card. It is combolicious, but lacks any real potential for tournament play. I could have fun playing with this in a casual group, but it would be horrible in competitive play. You want a blue beater? Try aeon chronicler. It's cheaper mana cost and dependence on hand size in a color where card advantage is everything proves it better as a competitive beater than this. I still love this card for its flavor and fun possibilities.

This card pwns, since I could get an 11, and might not even have to do anything. This is one of the best cards I've seen.

Play this in a B/U deck, so you can use blue spells to discard it, than stitch together w/ threshhold and put it into play w/o its penalty for only BB.

This card is awesome! Its fun to simply KEEP in an deck, knowing you may be able to unleash an 11/11 power-house gives you that extra bit of satisfaction and joy when it reaches your hand. By having 4 in an deck, sure you'd have a good chance of getting it out, but wheres the suspense, wheres the oddity of emotion known as luck? By keeping only one copy of encredibly mighty cards in a deck(creature cards) you get more fun out of the game, not a friend angry about
