Mechanics and Strategerie
I’ve already touched on how the ability to copy spells essentially makes Uyo a really strong anti-counter card. There are other implications of this ability, and other mechanical factors that I’d like to get into more.
Huge counter-war advantages
Fighting a counter-war against Uyo is likely to be frivolous. If you are not casting a copyable spell, you can still always copy their counterspell and protect your original spell. If you are casting a copyable spell, you can always copy your original spell once again. If they cast yet another counter, well, you’re still in fantastic shape. As long as you feel like returning land to your hand isn’t crippling you, keep copying as long as you’d like.
Other plays with their spells
One of the darnedest things about Uyo is being able to “steal” your opponent’s wind right out from under them. Many decks like to “do things” and if these things involve Instants or Sorceries, well, you get to do them too.
Many spells simply become too dangerous for a player to cast. A player trying to kill Uyo with a big burn spell might not have the luxury of casting it if you can just copy it again and again back at their head. Other powerful spells carry the same risk. Time Walk is a lot less exciting for your opponent when you get several copies of the Walk too. You don’t have to be the one playing with Time Walk (or Warp) to be able to get many, many turns in a row. But, hey, you could always run it yourself.
Splice and other abilities
The copy ability of Uyo copies all aspects of a spell. Splice, Kicker, and Entwine are all a part of the initial spell that you are copying. If you cast a spell with any of those extra abilities, your copies get the extra bits too, all without the hassle of the extra cost.
When you wish upon a star
Three of the Wishes from Judgment really do well when they are copied. Death Wish, Burning Wish, and Cunning Wish can all search for another copy of the same spell that is in the removed-from-game zone or your sideboard (if you have one). This means that copying one of these Wishes can get you another Wish. This is a nice, potent power.Creature (9)

UYO, SILENT PROPHET Posted in Feature on September 29, 2004

《沈黙の預見者、ウヨウ》の能力を活かしたデッキです。
「1ターンに1度しか土地をプレイできないの制限を破るカード」は、マナ加速で６マナまで到達すると同時に、《沈黙の預見者、ウヨウ》の起動型能力のコストを払いやすくします。
一旦それが着地さえすれば、相手のカウンター呪文を利用して自分を守れますし、《生ける願い》カードをコピーしてシルバーバレットし放題、《時間のねじれ》をコピー＆回収による無限ターンなどで、圧倒するプランです。
同じムーンフォークでも《曇り鏡のメロク》の方が、フィニッシャーとしては色々優秀でしょう。単体でも充分強く、１マナ軽く、シングルシンボルでタッチでも使え、トークンを出すので除去にも強いです。
ただ、《沈黙の預見者、ウヨウ》の方がロマンがあると思います。
