Tippycat on Umbris Reimagined

Thanks for the suggestions, dr.kronski ! I have had those thoughts as well :) I picked Planar Void for a very specific reason over Leyline of the Void or Dauthi Voidwalker. Mainly to take advantage of the fact that with Planar Void things still hit the graveyard. Leyline and Dauthi are replacement effects so cards never hit the graveyard so things like Undead Alchemist or Lazav, Dimir Mastermind wouldn't trigger. Lantern of the Lost and Relic of Progenitus are good but I picked Soul-Guide Lantern because I could activate it without extra mana (just tapping it). Lithoform Engine is something to consider!

Very creative and well-curated deck! I don’t really have any suggestions that you probably haven’t already considered or that would meaningfully improve the deck, but I’ll still leave a few that came to mind and might eventually make sense: Relic of Progenitus, Lantern of the Lost, Dauthi Voidwalker, Leyline of the Void, Lithoform Engine…

Normally, I would suggest copying it with sculpting steel but since it's legendary it won't work. You can try to use something like Strionic Resonator or Lithoform Engine since I presume it should work. Copying the triggered ability would be how I think it works, a bit too lethargic/unknowledgeable since I haven't played in 5+ years.

I do wonder about how effective it would be to add them without having other reliable triggered abilities. If your commander was a triggered ability over an activated one, I could at least see the value in it

Strionic Resonator and/or Lithoform Engine? Lets you copy the "When" part of Minsc's second ability without sacrificing another creature

Might want to look into Sneak Attack and its various variants too, lets you get out big creatures to throw for cheap

Nice concept of deck. One thing that other comments have mentioned, you are a bit split between something more akin to a Voltron deck and killing everybody with Commander damage and gracefully "borrowing" their library. In my oppinion the latter is the more interesting one, so its good to see a few dose of unblockable effects and doubling the triggers. To follow with this, I would add some more like Prowler's Helm or Whispersilk Cloak for equipments, or Adric, Mathematical Genius and Lithoform Engine for the triggers.

Now for using the graciously conceded cards from your opponents, I suggest Gonti, Night Minister, you end up generating a ton of treasures for free; and you can also include Agent of Treachery, not really for the first effect, but for allowing you to draw a lot of cards, keeping your hand full. I also do not think you will struggle with paying 7 mana for it, seeing how much ramp you have already in the deck.

For counters, I do not like Arcane Denial. In its place (and in general) I like to add counters that do not stay dead in your hand if you don't have a good target for them. Three Steps Ahead, Spellgyre, Archmage's Charm or Sublime Epiphany.

I also feel that the deck could benefit greatly from some tutors, as getting some of the trigger doublers, a protection or interaction piece or just the more game-ending equipments/auras like Eldrazi Conscription whenever you need them makes such a difference.

Finally, I would heavily the inclusion of MDFC lands. Even very cheap Zendikar ones. They are so flexible and don't become a dead card in your hand if you end up drawing them later in the game.

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
