Mirrormind Crown is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
As long as this Equipment is attached to a creature, the first time you would create one or more tokens each turn, you may instead create that many tokens that are copies of equipped creature. Equip
Complete guide
Mirrormind Crown is a fascinating piece of Equipment that transforms your token-making potential into a cloning machine. By replacing your standard tokens with replicas of your strongest units, you can quickly overwhelm your opponents with sheer force.
The Power of Replacement
Mirrormind Crown features a replacement effect that applies the first time you would create tokens each turn. Instead of creating the tokens specified by an effect, you may choose to create that same number of tokens as copies of the equipped creature. This is optional, allowing you to choose between your original tokens or more copies of your best creature.
What Does a Copy Include?
When you create these tokens, they copy the printed characteristics of the equipped creature. This includes its name, types, mana cost, and text. However, it does not copy any temporary buffs, counters, or other Equipment attached to the original. If the equipped creature is currently copying something else, the tokens enter as a copy of whatever that creature is currently mimicking.
Resolution and Timing
This ability only checks the first time you create tokens in a turn. If you choose not to use the effect on your first token creation, you cannot use it for any subsequent token creations during that same turn. Because the tokens enter as the equipped creature, any 'enters the battlefield' abilities printed on that creature will trigger for every token created.
Interaction examples
Mirrormind Crown
Solemn SimulacrumAttach Mirrormind Crown to Solemn Simulacrum. If you play an effect that creates two Treasure tokens, you may instead create two tokens that are copies of Solemn Simulacrum. Both tokens will trigger their ability as they enter, allowing you to search for two basic lands and put them onto the battlefield tapped.
Commander's SphereIf you have Mirrormind Crown attached to a creature and create a token, the Crown's ability triggers. If you decline to replace that token with a copy of the creature, you cannot use the Crown's ability again if you create more tokens later in that same turn with Commander's Sphere or other effects.
