I'm not sure if it's new but if it is, congrats to me. 
It's useful in some cases.
Cloning Drones
1)Build anything.
2)Recall with the Arbiter about a second before it builds the building.
3)The drone will make the building you chose to make and makes a drone under your arbiter. Cancel the building and you get 2 drones.
Found this by accident in True Tricks where you gotta cloak drones and build next to hostile sunken colony.

This is kinda like the getting drones when your supply is like 11/10 but its still kinda cool and I dont know if its already a known trick or not

I would cheat with that but there is no practical use for it.

The getting free drones part would be horrible in melee... luckily it only works in UMS or in extreme cases (have to have Drone and an Arbiter.)
Interesting find, Moosey.

If a protoss player can MC a drone... Oh god... Free miners for the toss... Also he could build the zerg bace so fast...

But really considering the tech tree requirements and the amount of micro involved, it isn't really worth it.

1)Mind Control a Drone
2)Build a Hatchery
3)Do the trick
4)Get 2 drones.
It may not be worth it but its neat. Is it new?

Ok I tried it myself and I couldn't get it to work. I did however get 2 drones. Are you sure you're not confusing a glich with a trigger moose? There is a trigger in that map that gives the player a drone if he loses is (becuase the sunken killed it). But this also means that if you build a creep colony, the condition is met that you have no drone, so it make one for you. Try this in another map and tell me if you get it to work.

Yeah, I can't get it to work either, and on slowest speed on top of it..

I would rather just do something like the 11/10 drone trick with the building and what not. Having to do the clone with the arbitor and then recall and then this and then that... too confusing. If you were planning to do this for melee maps then it would require a lot of time to get the protoss dark archon up and then the zerg drone to go, if you even can get one. The process would take a long time but it could be done for in a magic show.

Hmm... I'll try this on a test map. But, I thought the trigger only executes when the sunken kills a building.
Actually, I think it can be done on any map. I just remebered that you won't get a drone even after you build a building in True Tricks. Also, if your statement was true, the drone will have spawned right in center not under the arbiter which is far away from the center.

Well it did spawn under my arbiter, but that was becuase the arbiter WAS in the center of the map, where the location was. Also you never know if the map creator had the location follow the the arb.

I've known this before, but do it once more. And, try it with a Computer Bot and place an AI so they would do it too.

It's best to not comment about your own creations or people would think you're wrong.
It's best to get quotes from other players that are possitive about it.
