Mirage Mirror + Seam Rip

AI draft — not yet human-reviewed. Check citations and flag anything that looks wrong. How pages are reviewed.

Overview
If you activate Mirage Mirror to become a copy of Seam Rip, Mirage Mirror does not cause Seam Rip’s “When this enchantment enters …” ability to trigger, so Mirage Mirror will not exile anything as a result of that change . An actual Seam Rip that exiled a permanent only keeps that permanent exiled until that specific Seam Rip leaves the battlefield; destroying a different Seam Rip does not return the exiled permanent.
Step 1
You activate Mirage Mirror’s {2} ability targeting a Seam Rip on the battlefield. Mirage Mirror becomes a copy of that Seam Rip until end of turn.
Step 2
Because Mirage Mirror changed to become a copy while it was already on the battlefield (it did not enter the battlefield as a copy), this change does not trigger any enters-the-battlefield triggered abilities printed on Seam Rip; see .
Step 3
Therefore Mirage Mirror does not create a new exile linked to Seam Rip’s 'When this enchantment enters…' ability; nothing is exiled by the Mirror as a result of becoming that copy.
Step 4
If there is a real Seam Rip that earlier entered and exiled a permanent, that exile is linked to the specific Seam Rip that performed the exile and will remain until that same Seam Rip leaves the battlefield.
Step 5
If a second Seam Rip (a different object) is destroyed, that does not cause exiles created by the first Seam Rip to end; only the Seam Rip that created a given exile leaving the battlefield ends that particular exile.
Resolution
Mirage Mirror becoming a copy of Seam Rip does not trigger Seam Rip’s enters-the-battlefield trigger, so the Mirror will not exile the other player’s Seam Rip or any other permanent as a result of becoming that copy . If a real Seam Rip had exiled a permanent, only that specific Seam Rip’s leaving the battlefield causes the exiled permanent to return; destroying a second Seam Rip that did not do the exiling has no effect on the exile created by the first Seam Rip.
