Twincast's controller copies the spell, so they will take the extra turn, not give you one. If they used Redirect they would not be able to change who Temporal Manipulation gives the extra turn to.

If you cast Temporal Manipulation and your opponent casts Wild Ricochet targeting it, they won't change the target, but they will get their own copy giving themselves an extra turn, so both players will take an extra turn.

If my opponent then copied the spell would they take an extra turn? Or would it copy for me? Like if they copied with Twincast I think I am just getting confused about the differences between targeting and not targeting in these instances. Maybe even some context into that would be helpful.

Thanks

Stupid idea time: Shahrazad + Psychic Surgery.

Get Surgery out, then cast Shahrazad. Whether you win or lose the subgame, everyone shuffles afterward, so Surgery pulls a card from your opponent's deck. One card closer to a mill win, and one less card they can use in the next subgame. Start as many subgames as you can from the main game with Twincast or whatever. You want long but shallow games, not sub-sub-subgames. It's the jankiest Lantern Control.

Pure stall. You cast Shahrazad and Twincast it. Start the first subgame and cast another Shahrazad. Probably finish that one, then start the subgame from the copied Shahrazad. Cast another Shahrazad and Fork it. At this point, you've started two subgames within a subgame after finishing another subgame, all while barely affecting the main game and possibly using no more than two actual physical copies of Shahrazad. With a full playset of Shahrazad and enough copy effects, it's possible to start a game that goes on for hours, or until the tournament organizers kick you out for deliberate slow play.

That's why it got banned, by the way. People would win game 1 of a tournament match, then force games 2+ to go way past time. The main game can't be called until all the sub games are finished, if I remember right.

Welcome to the club, Danutercisd!

For being a first deck, I'm impressed to see the Mana Crypt, Cyclonic Rift, Fierce Guardianship, The Meathook Massacre, Underground Sea... I'm going to guess that budget isn't a major constraint here.

One of my pet cards for this sort of thing is Geth, Lord of the Vault. It offers milling, reanimation theft for creatures and artifacts, and a pretty big evasive body.

If you like instant-win combos, both Bloodchief Ascension and Duskmantle Guildmage set up full-deck milling and lots of damage with the Mindcrank in the deck.

Another suggestion is to diversify your copy/theft effects. There's a lot of ways to copy opponents' creatures, but you can take them directly with Control Magic, Beguiler of Wills, and similar effects, steal and copy spells with Talent of the Telepath or Twincast, or yank something from their deck with Praetor's Grasp. You opponents are probably going to be doing things beside throwing creatures around, and being able to react to different threats and take advantage of different opportunities is always good.

Kalamax! Tight. Here's some recs:

Wandering Archaic  ^Flip, Flusterstorm, Flux Channeler, Twincast, Fork, Reverberate, Reiterate, Radstorm & Spellbinder.

I'd also recommend running some synergistic combos like Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal & Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker.

Good luck refining your list! Great commander choice.

There's a few ways to cast an infinite amount of spells (assuming no-one counters one of them) and thus create an infinite amount of Phyrexian Goblins. One way to achieve is to copy spells that can copy spells (examples: Increasing Vengeance, Reverberate, Teach by Example and Twincast).
