No, that's the disadvantage, however, here's a senario (a real one, BTW):
It's been at least 25 turns into the game. The game has been locked down by a
Stasis deck, but the person got decked thanks to my
Howling Mine There are four players left, me, a player with 13 life, a player with 46 life, and a player with 15 life. Everyone has plenty of land. I have a
Mirari in play, and a
Fireball and an
Early Harvest in hand. Normally, I wouldn't have enough land to cast a fireball big enough to finish everyone off, but I was able to tap all my land, use 3 mana for the Early Harvest, use 3 to use Mirari's ability, after the last copy of Early harvest resolves, I tap all my land again, then let the first copy resolve and tap most of my land once more. Now I have a lot of mana (53, a mix of red and green), but not enough to finish everyone off. I cast a two-target fireball for 24 damage to each target (costing 48+1 colorless and 1 red), targeting my first oponent and my second, then use Mirari to make a copy targeting the second opponent and the third. 96 damage total. I win. Like I said, Mirari is a godly card.
Fork is better in some ways, but since Mirari is a permenent, I'd take Mirari over Fork any day.
