The shadow opponent played a rare card, Mirror, Mirror, which summoned a ghostly duplicate of the Dark Warrior already on the battlefield. This eerie, shimmering creature mirrored the original warrior’s stats and abilities, creating a formidable ally. The Reflection ability allowed the mirrored warrior to duplicate the Dark Warrior’s moves exactly, while Echo Strike ensured that any attack by the original would be echoed by the duplicate, dealing half the damage. Shared Fate added further menace, making any harm done to the original creature also affect the reflection. Jaeden and Xander realized they were facing a tougher fight than expected.
