Last_Laugh on The Trial of the Doctor

Just a heads up, but you have a couple cards I spotted that don't work with the 6th Dr. due to rules technicalities. Adrix and Nev, Twincasters and Bennie Bracks, Zoologist. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger the above cards. It's rule 111.12 if you feel like checking it out.

Esika's Chariot is a nice copy effect that you don't run.

Galadriel, Light of Valinor is worth running too. She's sooooo gross in multiples.

Thank you for your comment AkaAkuma, and appreciate the ideas.

You are correct in that I partially lean into the idea of making a few extra tokens of Miirym, but I also use effects like making copies of Roaming Throne (because it is super dumb in this deck), and things like Parallel Lives/Adrix and Nev, Twincasters to just double out my tokens. I did check out your build, and it is very sweet (+1 duly given). The only other Clones I would love to add would be Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Sakashima the Impostor respectively. I have very little recursion in the deck, and so whilst I would retain copies from the Miirym trigger, returning these clone cards from my graveyard should I need too, would require quite the rebuild. The 2 above, I simply don't have copies of, and (unfortunately) am not in a position to currently purchase them.

Utvara Hellkite again is simply a card I do not own, and if I did, it would likely replace Lathliss, Dragon Queen. She only triggers on non token ETB, and whilst additional triggers from Roaming Throne are nice, I just thing Utvara is a simple upgrade.

Sneak Attack does seem fun for some shenanigans, as can "surprise" people for blocks, as well as just making that combo damage finish much easier. Will see how I can fit that one in.

Mirror of Life Trapping seems like a fun card, but dear lord I struggle with tracking all the triggers anyway, this looks like it would make my brain explode lol.

Thanks again for your comment, appreciate it

legendofa, one of the first commanders I brewed was Tuvasa the Sunlit, sometime back in 2018-2019. I upgraded her a lot, since I mostly played {G}{W}{U} in various combinations when I first started playing.

In terms of more contemporary options, I can't really think of any that really compel me. The last few commanders that I've played in those colors, besides Tuvasa, were Eutropia the Twice-Favored, Adrix and Nev, Twincasters, Siona, Captain of the Pyleas, and Gylwain, Casting Director. So mostly stuff having to do with Auras and Enchantments.

I'm probably going to throw Minn in the command zone, thought both will be in the deck.

FormOverFunction: I hadn't thought about Adrix and Nev, Twincasters but I feel that would push the deck into more of a simic token generator rather than illusion tribal which isn't really my thing, I already have Chatterfang for tokens. Will post the decklink on here once it is done.

Icbrgr: Thanks for the input but I think Meloku the Clouded Mirror would be better in a Patron of the Moon deck where lands are bouncing constantly. Though that's just my opinion.

I really like Minn, as making the tribal-type with your commander is pretty important, but another possible option could be Adrix and Nev, Twincasters. It would be adding green, which has its ups and downs, but there might be a lot of fun green cards that you might wish you had as you test out the mono-blue version. Something to keep in mind. I’m looking forward to seeing more about your deck! Illusions are a super fun creature type that is often forgotten!!

Helm of the Host

Spark Double

Parallel Lives

Adrix and Nev, Twincasters

And white and green will give you good etbs

That's where you'll need scryfall

There are a couple of problems with the interaction that means that you will not get extra value. I'll present the one you postulated first and then a larger problem that might make you reconsider running both cards in the same deck.

They resolve in the wrong order for the non-token to double the token. When you cast Adrix and Nev, Twincasters The Sixth Doctor triggers and goes on the stack above Adrix and Nev. When the The Sixth Doctor trigger resolves it will make a copy of the spell, which goes on the stack above the original and resolves first.

The second, and bigger, problem is that tokens resulting from copying a permanent spell are never "created". Adrix and Nev, Twincasters has no interaction with The Sixth Doctor. This goes for Doubling Season and Parallel Lives as well as anything that cares about "creating" tokens.

111.12. A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token as it resolves. The token has the characteristics of the spell that became that token. The token is not “created” for the purposes of any replacement effects or triggered abilities that refer to creating a token.

I'm trying to figure out if The Sixth Doctor copies Adrix and Nev, Twincasters as I cast it, would I get 3 total copies? When the original resolves, does the token one on the stack enter as 2 copies because the first recognizes and doubles it? Or would they resolve in the wrong order?
