Hell yeah. Love it. A little easier than Helm of the Host, so that's great

If you were to play her, I would suggest Helm of the Host!

LordTsukune, I am actually considering Spark Double, as I generally like the idea of it. Though as of right now, I do not know what to cut. Do you have some advise in this case?

In Regards of Helm of the Host, I never really liked this card and am still thinking, that the amount of mana you have to spend is worthwhile, due to sacrificing 1-2 turns just by playing this card.

Thank you, for your feedback!

Metachemist, Good to hear from you again. By unanimous decision, Armageddon is out and the adjustments have been made. There hasn’t been any final call on adding Helm of the Host. That’s just something I’d add to shake things up a bit for fun, but everything is set as is.

I’m not a “Standard” player, but tough luck for the big guy, Omnath, Locus of Creation, for getting hit with the ban stick in a few formats. I’d be devastated if they took this brute away from me.

Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience is a classic one that mills out a player (cards cannot go to the graveyard, so Helm will never mill either X cards or a creature to take)

Twinflame or Heat Shimmer + Dualcaster Mage can make infinite hasty 2/2 human wizards if you keep copying the original spell with the token copies that enter the battlefield. Similar combo's can be achieved with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and a nonlegendary creature that can untap it, like Zealous Conscripts.

Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine is an easy recipe for as many combat steps as you like, Godo, Bandit Warlord or Combat Celebrant+ Helm of the Host does something similar.

So as an update on Helm of the Host, it does get targeted pretty quickly, but I run a pretty fair amount of interaction and have been able to keep it round for a few turns on several occasions and it’s pretty stupid. Just imagine four omnaths running while I’m popping 2/3 fetch lands a turn.

When a permanent refers to itself by name it means "the permanent that this ability is on". It doesn't matter if the permanent has a different name or if there are more permanents of the same name. Sakashima the Impostor will get the +1/+1 counters if she enters as a copy of Kathril, Aspect Warper and you can not put the counters from Helm of the Host copies on the original.

If something affects all creatures with a given name it will say "creatures named..." like on Akron Legionnaire or "with the same name" like on Cylian Sunsinger.

when swinging with Helm of the Host? I realize I can put the flying, indestructible, etc. counters on any creature, but can I put the +1/+1 counters created by the copy on the original Kathril or does it have to be the copy?
