Description

Jackal, Genius Geneticist (SPM-272) is a legendary Human Scientist Villain creature from the Marvel's Spider-Man set. It has trample and a triggered ability that copies a creature spell you cast with converted mana equal to its power and then gains a +1/+1 counter, with the copy becoming a token and not legendary. As a two-mana G/U creature with 1/1 that can grow and generate additional creature tokens, it slots into decks that aim to cheat value from casting creatures or scale with +1/+1 counter synergies.
