Today Wizards of the Coast revealed a new alternate win condition card from their upcoming "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Gatecrash." This exciting rare Simic creature Biovisionary rewards players with the forethought to assemble four of it on the battlefield at once.
Biovisionary - 1GU
Creature - Human Wizard (Rare)
At the beginning of the end step, if you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary, you win the game.
He tired of his fellow researchers and their useless prattling, so he decided to make a network of scholars with whom he could carry a conversation.
2/3
In Standard you'll be able to Clone or create an Evil Twin of Biovisionary (we don't recommend using Evil Twin's ability if you're trying to pull off the alternate win condition). Infinite Reflection will make every creature you control into Biovisionary.
Cackling Counterpart allows you to make a creature token copy of Biovisionary, and cards that allow you to populate like Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, and Growing Ranks can help create the other two copies that you'll need to win the game.
In Modern it's possible to win on the third turn by playing a mana creature like Noble Hierarch on turn one, a Lotus Cobra, fetchland, and Biovisionary into play second turn, and casting Mirrorweave on the third. Of course that's assuming none of your cards are countered, creatures killed, or cards discarded. Older formats also allow cheaper ways to clone your Biovisionary. Phantasmal Image and Phyrexian Metamorph spring to mind.
Just watch out for Detention Sphere.
How will you use Biovisionary?
