Parallel Lives

Enchantment

If an effect would create one or more tokens under your control, it creates twice that many tokens instead.

There are a couple of problems with the interaction that means that you will not get extra value. I'll present the one you postulated first and then a larger problem that might make you reconsider running both cards in the same deck.

They resolve in the wrong order for the non-token to double the token. When you cast Adrix and Nev, Twincasters The Sixth Doctor triggers and goes on the stack above Adrix and Nev. When the The Sixth Doctor trigger resolves it will make a copy of the spell, which goes on the stack above the original and resolves first.

The second, and bigger, problem is that tokens resulting from copying a permanent spell are never "created". Adrix and Nev, Twincasters has no interaction with The Sixth Doctor. This goes for Doubling Season and Parallel Lives as well as anything that cares about "creating" tokens.

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.

Rhadamanthus on Dance of Many + Populate

Correct. That part of Dance of Many's abilities is only referring to the token created by that particular Dance of Many, not by anything else.

Contrast this with a situation where instead of a Populate effect you have something like Parallel Lives. In that case both tokens are the ones created by Dance of Many and either one of them leaving the battlefield will cause the Dance to be sacrificed.

SaPoMa - I love the flair you brought to the deck with the wolf/werewolf theme even in the support cards. Some of them would be outclassed by other cards but then you would lose some of the unique identity of the deck. One card I was surprised I did not see given the wolf token element of the deck is Parallel Lives. Unnatural Growth might also be worth considering.

This deck seems really fun! Great Build so far!

Rhys the Redeemed along with all of the token doubling enchantments such as Doubling Season, Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Parallel Lives, would all do insanely well in here, as well as more spells with X in the cost like March of the Multitudes, Arachnogenesis, White Sun's Zenith, and Secure the Wastes.

I have a Rhys deck that works similar to this and specializes in creating an insane amount of tokens. You're welcome to check it out for more ideas! SO MANY ELVES!!

Ok, so Changeling Berserker goes infinite with your Commander + a few cards in your list.

Infinite card draw with Temur Ascendancy.

Infinite Treasures with Ganax, Astral Hunter.

Infinite Dragon tokens with Parallel Lives, Lathliss, Dragon Queen & Adrix and Nev, Twincasters.

Infinite damage with Dragon Tempest & Scourge of Valkas.

The way it works is as follows:

Step 1: Changeling Berserker ETBs, a Champion trigger & a Commander trigger go onto the stack.

Step 2: Resolve your Commander's trigger first, creating a Changeling token, 2nd Champion trigger goes onto the stack. You now have 2 unresolved Champion triggers on the stack.

Step 3: Resolve the Token Changeling's Champion trigger, exiling the original Changeling.

Step 4: Resolve the original Changeling's Champion trigger, exiling the Token Changeling & returning the original Changeling to the battlefield.

Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4.

Personally, I'd find space for it lol.

SufferFromEDHD the deck needs more upgrades. Your suggestions are good. I'd also like to add Doubling Season and Parallel Lives but at the moment I'm just trying to get this initial build completed.
