Creature — Shapeshifter
Whenever you cast a spell that's both white and black, this creature has base power and toughness 4/4 until end of turn and gains flying until end of turn.
2 / 1
A mimic need only touch a being to learn its shape, but touching usually leads to mauling and messily eating.
The ability triggers whenever you cast a spell that’s both of its listed colors. It doesn’t matter whether that spell also happens to be any other colors.

Any other abilities the Mimic may have gained are not affected.
2008-08-01 · Wizards of the Coast
If you cast a spell that’s the two appropriate colors for the second time in a turn, the ability triggers again. The Mimic will once again become the power and toughness stated in its ability, which could overwrite power- and toughness-setting effects that have been applied to it in the meantime.

The effect from the ability overwrites other effects that set power and/or toughness if and only if those effects existed before the ability resolved. It will not overwrite effects that modify power or toughness (whether from a static ability, counters, or a resolved spell or ability), nor will it overwrite effects that set power and toughness which come into existence after the ability resolves. Effects that switch the creature’s power and toughness are always applied after any other power or toughness changing effects, including this one, regardless of the order in which they are created.
