My official title is "Two Nearly Identical People, Creatures, or Things (and only two) Depicted on the Artwork, Except One of Those People, Creatures, or Things is Drawn in a Smaller Stature Than the Other," but it wouldn't fit in the name box. I came up with this ridiculous deck idea when I saw Copy Artifact and Twins of Maurer Estate sitting next to each other on my bookshelf. I thought,"I wonder how many cards have art like this."

So take a look at Copy Artifact . There is a figure depicted on the card along with a smaller version. That card can either be smaller or slightly off in the distance; either way, it works for my theme. I'm not looking for mirror-twins like Riku of Two Reflections , two drastically different figures like on Torch Courier , cards with two identical figures but also has an unrelated third like Maverick Thopterist , or three identical figures like on Fury Storm .

I have, however, found the need to be less stringent on my double-demand in order to have more options for the deck. Cards that gender-swap, have a colour variation, or minor accessory differences have been permitted (examples are Blades of Velis Vel , Dwarven Vigilantes , and Okiba-Gang Shinobi , respectively).

Since I need a commander, I thought I'd try this dragon that flips into a planeswalker. My thinking is that there is a copy of the first image "slightly in the distance"...on the other side. It's a huge stretch, but it will have to suffice.

The cards that I discovered in my collection that I considered for this deck have been credited in the maybe-board.
