Knockoff
UR
Enchantment

As Knockoff comes into play, choose a nonland, non-enchantment card in play.  Knockoff comes into play as a copy of that card.

If you choose a creature card, Knockoff comes into play with a -1/-1 counter on it.

If the card you choose has any activated abilities, choose one.  Knockoff loses that ability.

Knockoff
1U
Enchantment

As knockoff comes into play, you may choose an artifact or creature card in play. Knockoff comes into play as a copy of the chosen card and has Cumulative Upkeep 1.

I don't see the red in this card. I think it would be better suited as mono blue. And maybe up the cost to 1UU to make up for it.

The card seems too difficult to make really work.

I agree--simplify this down to the basic concept, and maybe it'll have a chance.

The name suggests that it should be restricted to artifacts only. But I don't know how you would implement that. Perhaps it could be more fragile:

Knockoff
1UU
Enchantment
As Knockoff comes into play, choose an artifact in play. Knockoff comes into play as a copy of that artifact and gains "Whenever this card becomes the target of a spell or ability, destroy it."

Copy Artifact is only {1}{U} with no drawbacks.  How about this:

Knockoff
1U
Enchantment

As knockoff comes into play, you may choose an artifact or creature card in play.  Knockoff comes into play as a copy of the chosen card and has Cumulative Upkeep 1. (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an Age counter on this permanent,  then pay 1 for each Age counter on this permanent.  If you don't, sacrifice this permanent.)

That could also work.

That's a bit cheap to copy a creature, even if it does have cumulative upkeep. Then again, Clone sees zero play.
