A couple problems here. It sounds like you want to cast Quantum Misalignment targeting Bill Potts, then use the Bill's trigger to copy the spell targeting the token that Quantum Misalignment created. The first issue is that the token doesn't exist yet. When you cast a spell, any abilities that trigger from it will trigger and resolve before the spell does, that means you'll need to target a creature you already have.

So that what about next turn? Quantum Misalignment has rebound after all, so you can cast it targeting Bill Potts and then use the trigger to copy the spell targeting the copy you made last turn. Well, here's the second problem: That does work, but it doesn't create any more triggers. The second Bill Potts won't trigger from being targeted, because you never cast a spell targeting it, you just created a copy of a spell targeting it. The ability specifies that it triggers from the casting of a spell, not just from Bill becoming the target of one, which keeps this kind of trick from working.

New to this site and MTG overall. Just played my new Paradox Power deck last night. Can someone clarify something for me? If I play Bill Potts + Quantum Misalignment , wouldn't that keep recasting more Potts? Just keep pointing the ability at 'another unit' i.e. the newly created Bill Potts. Cheers
