Last_Laugh on Legendary Doctors

2 weeks ago

Just a heads up. Doubling Season, Adrix & Nev, and any other effects you have that care specifically about a token being created have ZERO synergy with the 6th Dr. (but they do work with Romana). Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell are treated more like clones that copy everything they can including cmc but they aren't "created" like a typical token. Rule 111.12 for reference (or you can check my deck's description, link below).

You're after effects that either trigger your Dr. additional times or that copy his tokens after the fact. Things like Strionic Resonator, Lithoform Engine, Esika's Chariot, Roaming Throne, Clara Oswald, etc.

Flash and untap enablers are also pretty bonkers with the Dr. since he'll make a copy every turn you cast a historic. I also have a list of flash, untap, and trigger/token copiers in my deck's description for easy reference.

Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. It's the same color combination and strategy, but I run Peri Brown as my companion. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

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.

Last_Laugh on Tokens From Copying Spells Copied …

1 month ago

Sorry if the title doesn't initially make sense...

If The Sixth Doctor's non-legendary token has already resolved and entered the battlefield and I copy it with an effect like Esika's Chariot. Does that token copy the cmc since the Dr's token has that characteristic from rule 111.12? I'm assuming 111.3 covers this, but the example given is literally the opposite and is the result of copying a token without any cmc, so I want to double check before misquoting a rule (The Sixth Doctor / Peri Brown has led to a few friendly arguments already lol).

Thanks in advance rules gurus!

ShodoPhan on 4-drop for BG midrange

5 months ago

Hi guys, currently I am running 2x Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (don't have more), but looking for 1-2 extra 4-drops to fill and I am currently testing new Blossoming Tortoise x 2 with 2x Restless Cottage, 2x Hive of the Eye Tyrant, 2x Castle Locthwain and 3xField of Ruin + 2x Virtue of Persistence to have way to return milled creatures back to the game.

It feel fun to play and revarding, but maybe it is lacking in overall value and competitive way, so I was thinking about: Esika's Chariot vs Nightpack Ambusher (both do kinda simmilar thing, but... I am not really sure which one is better to run as 1 or 2 copies)

I have othervise standard BG (ROCK) shell

Thank you for help!

Great deck. Glad to see others putting work into Ivy. How's Esika's Chariot working for you? Is it worth the slot?

Clone Legion and Croaking Counterpart might be good duplicators, while Esika's Chariot can copy your copies.

I have a Volo deck and put in Esika's Chariot to copy my copies.
