Esika's Chariot
Legendary Artifact — Vehicle

Got three games in over the holidays and am definitely going to be making some tweaks. Sharing a few thoughts, just in case they help you ...
Notes on a few cards:
- I've been VERY impressed with Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade (and that's with me running fewer +1/+1 counter effects than you) ... may be worth a look.
- I was originally very high on House Cartographer (and the similar Traveling Botanist), but I've become less impressed over time. Land to hand is certainly decent, but I keep finding it to be not quite ramp and not quite draw ...
- I absolutely love Esika's Chariot in theory. But in practice, folks keep pinging down the Cat tokens + I don't have many other token generators in my deck = it's def performed below my expectations. Not saying it's been bad at all, it's more that my expectations were a little high.
- On the flip side, I wasn't expecting much from Unlicensed Hearse and it's done a TON of work.
- I keep putting them in the deck for testing, and I keep not drawing them. But I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes and Arlinn Kord Flip work out.
- I started with a relatively low average mana cost for my Vehicles, but I've been steadily raising it ... it's honestly going to look much more like yours after my next update. FWIW, Magmatic Galleon (currently in your maybeboard) is part of that update :-)
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk; hope something in there is helpful. And very sorry for the spam if not!
Cheers!
Polaris on The Sixth Doctor copying Double …

Copying double-faced cards (DFCs) creates double-faced tokens that can transform if the opposite face is a permanent (as of recent rules changes, this applies to both transforming double-faced cards, TDFCs, like Aang, Swift Savior Flip which have their own transform abilities and modal double-faced cards, MDFCs, where both sides are permanents like Alrund, God of the Cosmos Flip. MDFCs don't have their own transform abilities, but other effects like Moonmist might attempt to transform them anyway).
If the other face of a DFC isn't a permanent, it cannot transform, which brings me to the other exception: clones. Phyrexian Metamorph can become a clone of Aang (either side that's up since they're both creatures), but cannot transform because Phyrexian Metamorph doesn't have a back face and doesn't gain one from becoming a copy of a double-faced permanent. The same goes for any token created without a back face or single-faced card that becomes a copy of a double-faced permanent later.
So to summarize:
- Sixth Doctor copies of double-faced permanent spells will be double-faced tokens that can transform if they have a valid permanent on the back face.
- MDFCs can't usually transform, but sometimes other effects can transform them.
- Esika's Chariot copying a double-faced token will create another double-faced token that can potentially transform.
- Phyrexian Metamorph isn't a double-faced card, so it can never transform even if it has become a copy of one.
In all cases, these tokens or copies will enter as the face that's currently up, or (for Sixth Doctor and other spell copiers) the face that was cast for an MDFC.

If Serah Farron Flip and/or Aang, Swift Savior Flip are copied by the 6th Dr, can the tokens flip? Same question for copies made of the resulting non-legendary token via an effect like Esika's Chariot or a clone like Phyrexian Metamorph.

Can I choose different targets for each copy? Same with copies made later via Romana II, Esika's Chariot, etc.

The Trial of the Doctor

Just a heads up, but you have a couple cards I spotted that don't work with the 6th Dr. due to rules technicalities. Adrix and Nev, Twincasters and Bennie Bracks, Zoologist. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger the above cards. It's rule 111.12 if you feel like checking it out.
Esika's Chariot is a nice copy effect that you don't run.
Galadriel, Light of Valinor is worth running too. She's sooooo gross in multiples.

The Sixth Doctor

Hey, just a heads up but you have a few things going on here that don't work within the rules like you want them to.
First off, your commander pairing actually doesn't work together. The Doctor explicitly states it triggers only once per turn so "triggers an additional time" effects like Clara Oswald and Roaming Throne won't cause the 6th Dr. to trigger again. You're after effects that copy his trigger or that copy his tokens after the fact. Twinning Staff, Strionic Resonator, Errant, Street Artist, and Esika's Chariot are all examples of the different things you CAN do in your colors that work with your Doctor. See my deck's description for more.
Second, Doubling Season and any other effects that care about a token being "created" won't trigger from the 6th Dr's. tokens. Rule 111.12 (see my deck's description, link below). Basically, a token that is the result of copying a permanent spell (6th Dr/Lithoform Engine's bottom ability) aren't "created" and won't trigger abilities like Doubling Season.
I personally run Peri Brown as my companion, but my deck should help with some great budget options even if you stay blue/green. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

Hey, just a heads up but Anointed Procession, Adrix and Nev, Bennie Bracks, and any other effect that care about a token being "created" don't work with The Sixth Doctor.
Rule 111.12 (in my decks description, link below). Basically it boils down to tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger the above effects.
You're after effects that copy the Dr's trigger (copy specifically as "triggers an additional time" like Clara Oswald/Roaming Throne won't work here either) or that copy his tokens after they've already entered. Twinning Staff, Strionic Resonator, Errant, Street Artist, Romana II, City of Death, Esika's Chariot, Lithoform Engine, and Second Harvest are your best options here.
Feel free to check out my deck for other ideas. It's not superfriends but it should still give a few more ideas (and rule 111.12). Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

Twinning Staff, Errant, Street Artist, Strionic Resonator, and the top option on Lithoform Engine are all great ways to essentially copy the Dr.'s trigger. Second Harvest, Esika's Chariot, and City of Death are also great ways to copy your tokens after they hit the battlefield.
