The “legend rule” doesn’t apply to permanents you control.
Each legendary creature you control gets +1/+1.
Each nontoken creature you control gets +1/+1 for each other creature you control with the same name as that creature.

RiotRunner789 on Why Do Many Cards Generate …
6 days ago
I think Spark Double was the first (outside Mirror Box effects).
They've definitely become more common since War of the Spark. Too many? Probably?
Once something sticks or become popular/fun to play with, WOTC starts printing more of it. Spark Double is a fun card and can be outrageous. But he can also be a dead card since he has to target your creatures (a limitation Dragonmaster420 alluded to and something I've seen too many times with a The Prismatic Bridge Flip commander).
I'm closer to your side of the fence DemonDragonJ, but probably more because I'm an old fogey and not because the clones are breaking the game/lore.

Broken promises
Sorcery
The next spell you cast this turn from the command zone is not subject to the "command tax rule"
"a better deal will come to those who backstab"
There is precedent to this kind of card with Mirror Box

My suggestion is to commit more heavily to 0 mana value spells including, but not limited to, Darksteel Relic, Everflowing Chalice, Memnite and Ornithopter, in addition to what you already have in your deck and sideboard. Then you can either add any combination of Energy Chamber, Power Conduit and Rise and Shine to boost them up for later in the game. Otherwise, I don't see how you can get Erayo flipped on the turn you bring her out.
I think the important thing to remmber here is just because it needs four spells in a turn to flip, doesn't mean you have to bear the whole load. If you choose not to go the 0 mana value route, my suggestion is to move both of your copies of Chalice of the Void to the Sideboard and replace them and your copies of Reprieve with three copies each of Mana Tithe and Spell Pierce. That way you can cast counter spells on their turn and flip it on their turn. You'll lose out on the card draw a bit but with a full playset of Karn, late game card advantage should be chiefly from your sideboard anyway.
Speaking of Sideboards, I think you may have to rethink it. Unless you are going find a spot for Living Wish in your library, it should be exclusively artifacts. I think it would be important to concentrate in the early game to the Erayo/High Noon combo and then use Karn to bring out Mycosynth Lattice(expensive, money wise, but the only way to end the Karn/ML combo is if someone uses Inspiring Statuary to cast Introduction to Annihilation or Scour from Existence) to target Karn.
Leonin Arbiter is good, but you have at least five fetch lands where paying 1 life and then an additional to search for a land when you can play Rampant Growth for the same function doesn't make a lotta sense. If you insist on fetch lands My suggestion is to replace them with a full playset of Fabled Passage or a combination of Escape Tunnel, Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse so you can have a little more mana flexibility. Otherwise, I'd recommend investing in a full playset of Spara's Headquarters and add Crucible of Worlds to the sideboard. Then, at least, if you choose to keep Boseiju in your sideboard you can play it from the graveyard after using it's Channel ability.
I see the biggest weakness for your deck in the lack of a finisher. Using noncreature artifacts from the sideboard, activating Karn's first loyalty ability and then using Noble Hierarch's exalted ability to pump them up is the best option for this kind of deck. If you consider different cards for your sideboard may I suggest any combination of Encroaching Mycosynth, Mirror Box and Mirror Gallery for using Karn as your finisher?
I'm no expert on Stax, but these are the routes I would consider. I know this was a lot. Thank you for reading me out. I hope it helps. Happy Hunting!
Bookrook on Top ten most toxic commanders.

These are, in my opinion, the top ten most toxic commanders to play against. The ones where you get teamed up on more than the guy with the turn one sol ring.
Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Infect infect infect infect. Also gets toxic points for being an infect commander.
If they have any kind of token doubler or nonlegendary cloner, you might as well skip your untap step. Once my friend had an Essix, Fractal Bloom out with a Mirror Box.
Numot the Devestator Land destruction. Need I say more?
Nobody cares about the lantern. Everybody cares about their creatures going up for adoption.
Goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Pray WOTC never makes a blue version of it.
The Beamtown Bullies I’m guilty of playing with this deck. Who new there were so many cards with very big downsides. *cough cough Leveler
Do you want people to play with you?
Kaervek, the Spiteful, Night of Souls' Betrayal, and the million other cards that give all creatures -1/-1 until end of turn exist.
All the Phyrexian praetors (but mostly Sheoldred, the Apocalypse)
Card draw is good in commander. Sheoldred deals damage to your opponents when they draw cards. Plus,Peer into the Abyss either instakills an opponent or gives you 30 life and 40 cards.
Just like sheoldred, but you get access to red for wheels and handsize burn spells, and blue for being blue.
*honarable mention to The Infamous Cruelclaw decks that play 99 lands and Worldfire.

Calling All Doctors!
2 years ago
Nunu312 thank you for the essay! do genuinely appreciate the feedback. I have focused a bit around upkeep triggers such as suspend, and I hear you about the Glasspool Mimic Flip. I’m going to go over your suggestions and see what I like about it. You bring up really good points about regarding Omniscience and Mirror Box.

Calling All Doctors!
2 years ago
While I might like to suggest Maskwood Nexus... I don't actually think it helps you considering the lack of non-doctor creatures. It may still be useful though for pushing you over the line to reach 13.
Three Tree City is a card that might be good though.
K-9, Mark I is really good. Your board state is very important to you so forcing people to pay just a little extra to interfere with it might help you edge out a game. But at the same time, several of the doctors have to attack to activate their abilities and this will help them not die when the do so. Psychic Paper and can also do something rather similar, but might also get you that extra doctor you need. Brotherhood Regalia is another similar card.
I like where you're going with Glasspool Mimic Flip, but it wont bypass legendary. Instead Sakashima the Impostor and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces can both help get around this. Even if they aren't also land.
Similarly Mirror Box is good... but doesn't synergise with what you're doing as you don't have many duplicators for it to work with. I feel like you were going a bit more for Helm of the Host?
All in all though, these are just minor tweaks, the question is what part of the game does this deck operate around? Many of the doctors are spread over a lot of the game, which leads to them being quite unfocused. But I feel you are bringing this towards being a very upkeep centric deck? The question is how to maximise that. It will help Gallifrey Stands go off, but will also help your suspended cards and other triggered effects.
Lithoform Engine could help you in several ways, duplicating doctors, but also duplicating the trigger effect of Gallifrey Stands. While not quite as useful, Annie Joins Up will also double the triggers on your doctors. Roaming Throne is also a trigger doubler... though it's a little dull because it's in every bloody deck now.
Paradox Haze similarly gets you that extra upkeep, but it falls into the problem that a lot of such things do... One extra upkeep per turn is good, but a turn is a long time. While it may be the best option, a way to get creatures into play might be a better slot in your deck?
But there is also another two problems all decks have, mana and getting the right cards. Firstly, mana. You have a lot of expensive cards and you want to be able to cast all of them. Lotus Petal is good... but I don't see it being better than a normal mana rock as you have no ability to recurse it for free. Herald's Horn would probably be better as it can remove about 25% off the cost of all your important cards, and lets you take a peek for them. Leyline of the Guildpact can help with mana fixing, though wont actually set you ahead, as would Three Tree Mascot (which also counts as a doctor). Patchwork Banner is a newer mana rock that helps buff your guys a little. Mirari's Wake is also a solid mana doubler, if a little expensive.
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy is also very cheap and solid, though works better if you have more mana rocks.
You've got a bit of recursion from The Eighth Doctor, which is more likely to turn up due to your commander, but that means that you can take advantage of the search lands. It would require changing out a lot of the land you do have, but if you use the typed dual lands like Canopy Vista or Godless Shrine
(because you may need 1 mana more than 2 life), you can search for them and then recurse the search land like Flooded Strand (which could search for any dual land as long as it's part plains or part island). If you want to find what land works like this it's best to google mtg land or some such, there are whole websites dedicated to it.
Considering you're running 5 colours, Bloom Tender and Faeburrow Elder can also help supercharge your mana.
As for getting cards, I feel like you've got a decent search to get the doctors, but you are a little lacking in turn to turn draw. This often means you'll end up sitting in a game with only one card to play a turn and that's not fun. The One Ring is another groan worthy staple for how good it is (and therefore in everything), but only really relevant if you're running proxies. Collector's Vault is something I'm fond of, while it wont give you card advantage, it's cheap and you don't really mind discarding doctors anyway. Sylvan Library is also insanely powerful.
A lot of the search you do use is really expensive as well. Conflux and Diabolic Revelation are good... but they each cost a huge amount of mana, after which you still have to actually cast the cards. These are things that might help you on turn 10+ without a lot of acceleration. Instead something to get your creatures directly onto the battlefield like Victimize or possibly Pyre of Heroes.
Anyway, that's enough from me for now. Remember, look for cards that get you to your win conditions. Omniscience is great, but only if you can cast it AND if you've got the cards to play AND they are cards that lead you to victory. Perhaps 1 mana per turn or 2 cards might have been more useful.

Like Classes, Rooms gives white some pseudo-card advantage. Naming the different parts "doors" is a bit confusing though.
Kaito: Sorry, I haven't been paying attention, but are there any other Ninjas in the set or is Kaito just pumping himself? Obviously good with Yuriko.
Zimone: Mirror Box + land flickering and you can have multiple Primos
Razorkin Needlehead: glad mono-red is getting more Underworld Dreams effects
Aminatou: Kinda wish the cost reduction was greater so that it would feel more exciting, but that's just my pushing ass whining. Drawing lands is going to feel kinda bad, but surveil 2 helps. Get a flash enabler so that you can miracle on other people's turns.
Demonic Counsel: Disproportionaly disappointed that it's not flavored as a rival to Valgavoth tempting a mortal
Unwanted Remake: Fixed Pongify, seems fair for the color
