Interaction between Archaeomancer and See Double?

Asked by The_Dragonmaster 11 months ago

I'm wondering what happens when I cast See Double to create a token of Archaeomancer.

Let's say our opponent has 8 cards in his graveyard. He casts Lightning Bolt, and in response I use see double to both copy Lightning Bolt, and create a token copy of Archaeomancer. Would the token be able to return See Double to my hand? And if so, if I had Omniscience, could I in theory recast See Double for infinite tokens and infinite Lightning Bolt copies before Lightning Bolt resolves?

Ok, here's our stack:

1: Lightning Bolt, targeting whatever.

2: See Double, target Bolt and Archaeomancer

Both players pass priority, so the stack is resolved.

See Double resolves, giving you a copy of Bolt, and the token copy of Archaeomancer before being put into your graveyard.

As state-based actions are checked, the Archaeomancer token's triggered ability is put onto the stack. You'll have to choose a target now, and as See Double is already in your graveyard, you can target it.

Going to close my answer with saying yes, Omniscience will allow you to win at this point. Then again, it's Omniscience. Why even pass your turn once it's online?
