Vesuvan Doppelganger

Creature — Shapeshifter

As Vesuvan Doppelganger enters the battlefield, you may choose a creature in play. If you do, Vesuvan Doppelganger enters the battlefield as a copy of that creature except for its color and gains "At the beginning of your upkeep, you may have this creature become a copy of target creature except for its color. If you do, this creature gains this ability."

Squee_Spirit_Guide on Favorite EDH Cards

I love seeing everyone's responses to this :). To me having pet cards you always try to work into a deck is a lot of the fun of deck building.

I've always really liked Spirit of the Night and Teeka's Dragon and find myself cramming them into decks whether or not they fit. They were just so impressive the first time I came across them and I've never lost that excitement for them.

I also have a few specific pieces of cardboard I'm fond of, like the Vesuvan Doppelganger my friend gave me and the Sylvan Safekeeper that I got signed by Olle Råde.

Straight away, this is a deck I'd enjoy playing. I love how out of control it can get, and dragons are arguably the most nostalgic tribe in Magic, which is a big plus for me! Anyway, here's some thoughts that might be helpful as you continue testing. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to commander though, so take my suggestions with a pinch of salt :).

In any dragon deck, I like Zirilan of the Claw. He's a nice little tutor/sneak attack for dragons, and with the way you're set up to copy your dragons you should get at least one copy to hang around permanently. Along the lines of getting gragons out quickly, for cost reduction have you looked at Dragonspeaker Shaman or Dragonlord's Servant? I'm not sure if you're hurting in that area, but they might help if you are.

For the 'dragons or permanents that deal non-combat damage' category there's Bogardan Hellkite and Shivan Hellkite. Both are pretty high on the mana curve, but I like the repeatability of Shivan's ability and the copyability (sure, that's a word) of Bogardan's.

Interestingly, being in blue also gives you access to clones like Vesuvan Doppelganger, Phantasmal Image, and of course Clone. With the high number of legendary creatures they might not always have a target, but I think they would most of the time and it could really let you double up on tokens, triggers, and effects.

This is probably getting a little too cute, but Archwing Dragon and all its tokens would repeatedly trigger things like Impact Tremors. You wouldn't get to keep the tokens, but being able to cast a dragon every turn might have some value. Like I said, I'm probably stretching with that one.

Those are just some ideas I had when looking through the list. You'll know better from your testing if any of them have value, but I hope I at least mentioned a couple that are helpful :)

FatFreddiesCat on Cloning Merieke Ri Berit

If I use Spark Double to make a copy of Merieke Ri Berit, can I then Clone and/or Vesuvan Doppelganger the copy? Seems to me that either could be okay because no Legendary creature involved. Bob

I like the deck.

Maybe put in Vesuvan Doppelganger, as a substitute for Vesuvan Shapeshifter?

Heir of Anubis

Creature - Dog Demon

Haste.

When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a creature in any player's graveyard. ~ is a copy of that creature and gains its power and toughness and any abilities it has. During your upkeep, you may choose another creature in a graveyard. If the creature ~ is copying would leave the graveyard for any reason, destroy ~.

it's kind of a Vesuvan Doppelganger mashup in Golgari style w/a definite drawback. and a lot less text :-)

Skillville Hey thanks for the input! Few things am trying here is not to steal things for anyone. My wife has a steal deck and steals cards and things from everyone. What am trying to do is avoid going down that route. I want to only copy what cards they play hence they can only blame me for the card everyone plays. I don't mind destroying their cards that's fine or blinking them. I have a replacement for Agent of Treachery because he breaks this rule but he is getting swapped out for Vesuvan Doppelganger.

Thanks again for the suggestions they are great and I did think of them but don't want to go off track to much :)

After looking at the deck, I do not think that I have enough instant/sorcery that I want to copy with Dualcaster Mage . I normally do not want to pay / and to copy a spell 4 times, think it’s a bit overkill. Thanks for the suggestions though. <3
