Mate

[HumphreyBraggart]

I would say that the "Monster Enhancer" is the card. +5 is just the combat bonus, not the Monster Enhancer in its entirety. The way I read the card is to imagine that you have two of the same monster with all of the same cards played on it (excluding the Mate card for obvious reasons). I am not sure that would include One Shots though I believe thats the way my group has played it.

Edit: I believe most One Shots specify a "side" of the battle it effects, so those shouldn't duplicate.

The Mate card states that only Monster Enhancers, which are specific type of card, gets duplicated, so you are correct: One-shot Items don't get duplicated.
