Hey, just a heads up but Parallel Lives, Adrix & Nev, and any other effects that care about a token being "created" have ZERO synergy with The Sixth Doctor (they will work with Romana though). I tried to do the same thing because I didn't realize tokens that are the result of copying spells worked differently.

Rule 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."

You're after effects like Strionic Resonator, Twinning Staff, and/or Esika's Chariot for multiple copies.

Tokens that are the result of copying a spell are never created so they won't trigger Parallel Lives etc.

Just a heads up, your Adrix and Nev and any other Parallel Lives / Doubling Season effects won't work with your Doctor. Tokens that are the result of copying a spell are never "created" and thus won't trigger those effects. Rule 111.11 and 111.12 if you feel like taking a look. I made the same mistake when crafting around this same pairing.

You're after effects like Strionic Resonator, Twinning Staff, and/or Romana II but want to avoid anything that cares about the token being "created".

Hey Gidgetimer. I had a follow up question re: The Sixth Doctor copies. Do you know of any other ways to make extra copies? I run Twinning Staff, Strionic Resonator, and Roaming Throne.

Dopplegang Bangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies for reference.

You get to keep all of them. The replacement effect in Twinning Staff's first ability changes the number of copies an effect would make, but doesn't change anything else about how that effect works. This means the "except the copy isn't legendary" part of The Sixth Doctor's effect would apply to all the copies it makes.

If I copy a legendary with The Sixth Doctor and Twinning Staff, would I keep all 3 copies? Or would the one from Twinning Staff be a legendary still and immediately die?

Perhaps you might want to include Twinning Staff?
