mtg marvel cards Secret Lair Iron Man Foil Sealed put four +1/+1 counters on The Thing Captain America, First Avenger (#1726)
Description
Whether it's a card or a token, the clone will have the mana value of the card it copied
Time Sieve needs to be on the battlefield first, and when you begin your upkeep with Thopter Assembly as the only thopter on the battlefield, it will create five 1/1 tokens, which you will use as sacrifices to your Time Sieve
It is really not that great of a threat when you are too far behind in the tempo game
To use another metaphor: the architect spends far less time than the builders who have to come in and make the house happen
