Wait.. what? So if i summon 14/14 endless one it would be reinforce to 28/28? Did not know that. I just pulled the endless one from the eldrazi card pack. Gotta test this

Not creatures reinforced by Mirrorpool. khurram wrote: If you look at the animation Mirrorpool doesnt actually make the card free like bring to light or goggles do. It just fills it up with 30+ mana.

Fetch a card and pump it with 30+ mana so if the card has an awaken cost, it will be filled.
