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.

Hey, just a heads up, but you have a few cards in here that work when Romana makes tokens but won't when The Sixth Doctor makes tokens due to tricky rules technicalities.

Adrix & Nev, Mondrak, and Parallel Lives trigger when a token is created but a token that is the result of copying a permanent spell isn't "created" and won't trigger the above cards. It's rule 111.12 if you feel like looking it up (or check my deck's description, link below).

You're after effects that COPY The 6th Dr.'s trigger, copy the spells he's copying, or that copy his tokens after the fact (I emphasize "copy" on the first one because "triggers an additional time" won't work). Twinning Staff, Errant, Street Artist, Strionic Resonator, Esika's Chariot, City of Death, Second Harvest, and the top ability on Lithoform Engine are all great options.

I personally run Peri Brown as my partner, but it's the same colors and overall strategy so feel free to check out my list for ideas (and rule 111.12). Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

Hey, I like the idea but there's a lot going on here that doesn't actually work.

First and foremost, Clara Oswald doesn't work with The Sixth Doctor. He says he triggers only once per turn so "triggers an additional time" effects like Clara/Roaming Throne won't do anything. I personally run Peri Brown with the Doctor so I'm not much help on an alternate companion that'll get you access to black.

Second is your Doubling effects don't work with The Sixth Doctor. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger anything like Adrix & Nev, Parallel Lives, etc. to double your tokens. It's rule 111.12 if you feel like looking (or check my deck's description, link below).

You're after effects that COPY his trigger, copy the spell he's copying, and/or effects that copy his tokens after the fact (i.e. Lithoform Engine (top ability), Errant, Street Artist/Twinning Staff, and City of Death).

I know only 2/3 colors match, but feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

Nice take on The Sixth Doctor but I do have some suggestions (mainly for additional token copies from the Doc.).

Twinning Staff is the best of the bunch, but you also have things like Errant, Street Artist, Strionic Resonator (or the same mode on Lithoform Engine), and Esika's Chariot that will accomplish the same thing.

Also, just a heads up in case you weren't aware. Doubling Season is a great card here and doubles your loyalty and tokens from Romana but it won't double your tokens from The Sixth Doctor thanks to a rules technicality. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger anything like Doubling Season (rule 111.12).

There's some major differences but you can check out my list for ideas. I run Peri Brown as my companion and there's not a single walker in the list, but it might help with abusing The Sixth Doctor which applies either way. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated.

Hey, just a heads up, but your token doublers like Doubling Season, Adrix & Nev, Ojer Taq, and Mondrak will work when Romana makes tokens but not when The Sixth Doctor does. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell (6th Dr, Lithoform Engine, etc.) aren't "created" and won't trigger those cards. Rule 111.12 which is in my deck's description (link below).

You're after effects that Copy the Dr's trigger, copy his tokens after the fact, or that copy spells. Battle for Bretagard, Esika's Chariot, Rhys the Redeemed, Second Harvest, Strionic Resonator, Twinning Staff are all good options that you don't already run.

Hey, just a heads up, but your token doublers like Doubling Season, Annointed Procession, Vorinclex, Mondrak, and Adrix & Nev only work when Romana makes tokens but not when your Doctor (or Lithoform Engine etc.) does. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger those effects. Rule 111.12 (check my deck's description, link below).

You're after effects that Copy your Dr's. triggered ability, Copy his tokens after the fact, or that copy spells. Battle for Bretagard, Esika's Chariot, Rhys the Redeemed, Second Harvest, Strionic Resonator, City of Death, Twinning Staff, Errant, Street Artist, and Lithoform Engine are all good options here.

Last_Laugh on The Sixth Doctor

Just a heads up, but you have several cards that don't function with The Sixth Doctor (but do with Romana).

Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell aren't "created" and won't trigger anything like Adrix & Nev, Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Annointed Procession, Primal Vigor, etc. It's rule 111.12 which I have copied/pasted in my deck's description (link below).

You're after effects that copy the Dr's triggered ability or copy his tokens after the fact. Strionic Resonator, Lithoform Engine, Errant, Street Artist, Esika's Chariot, Twinning Staff, Second Harvest, and Battle for Bretagard are all good options (Clara Oswald/Roaming Throne and other "triggers an additional time" effects won't work with the Dr either thanks to resolves once per turn part but copying the trigger works).

Feel free to check out my list for ideas and the deck's description for rule 111.12. I personally run Peri Brown with the Dr. but same colors and overall strategy. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. 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.
