Sorry to be a bit lengthy with my question: progenitor Mimic targeting animated man land(e.g lumbering falls). Am I correct in the fact you receive a token copy of the land at the upkeep, but just inanimate? Would that trigger landfall? Are token lands doubled by cards like Second Harvest?

Yes to all of these questions.

Progenitor Mimic becomes an inanimate copy of Lumbering Falls when it copies the animated land. When Progenitor Mimic/Lumbering Falls’s upkeep trigger resolves, you receive a token copy of the land, also inanimate. 

Since the token copy is a land entering the battlefield under your control, it will trigger landfall abilities.

Second Harvest makes copies of all tokens you control, no matter what their types. It doesn’t just copy creature tokens and so you’ll get more land tokens when it resolves.

Topi’s Daily Card #937: Progenitor Mimic

Simic spells love their clone effects, and Progenitor Mimic is one of the more fun ones out there.  Similar to Followed Footsteps in a way, it copies a creature, then keeps making a copy of that creature each of your upkeeps.  Depending on what you copy it can be somewhat innocuous but powerful like Solemn Simulacrum, or totally more potent win conditions like Hornet Queen, Avenger of Zendikar, or even something more simple like Wurmcoil Engine.  Either way, one single creatures soon becoming an army is something that should be answered as soon as possible.  Whether it’s good ETB abilities or just building up an army of huge powerful creatures, Progenitor Mimic is one of the more potent clone effects for UG decks.

If Hushwing Gryff is in play and i cast Progenitor Mimic do I get to copy a creature still or does it just die.

Yes, you still get to copy a creature.

Progenitor Mimic’s ability is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. It modifies how Progenitor Mimic enters the battlefield. If it were a trigger, then Progenitor Mimic would enter the battlefield as a 0/0 and die before the trigger could even go on the stack, and that wouldn’t be very productive.

Hushwing Gryff’s ability has no interaction with Progenitor Mimic or any other clone-type ability.

Though Progenitor Mimic doesn’t stack well on your own upkeep with the Dryad, after it becomes a copy it doubles the speed that you make Saprolings the first round it’s out. Second round it’s tripled, third is quadrupled, etc. and if you have a token doubler, it effects both the Mimic AND the Saprolings! This can very quickly get out of hand for your opponents, so watch out for Wrath of God and other board wipes.

Hello, a friend says if progenitor mimic copies a creature with an aura attached to it, each other copy made by progenitor mimic will have the abilities gifted by that aura on the original creature, is this true?

No.

Clones and token copies of creatures only copy the printed characteristics of the object they’re copying, as modified by other copy effects. The tokens will just be whatever the Mimic is copying without any of the Aura’s effects.

If I have a Progenitor Mimic that's a copy of Elvish Visionary, and then clone Progenitor with Clever Impersonator (or really any clone effect), will I get two Elvish Visionary tokens on my upkeep, or does CI not copy PM's ability?

You’ll have two Mimic/Visionaries.

The effects of other copy effects are copied when you copy things.
