Sixth Doctor + Adix and Nev, Twincasters
Asked by Last_Laugh 1 year ago
I'm trying to figure out if The Sixth Doctor copies Adrix and Nev, Twincasters as I cast it, would I get 3 total copies? When the original resolves, does the token one on the stack enter as 2 copies because the first recognizes and doubles it? Or would they resolve in the wrong order?

Ok, that's good to know (especially before I bought a copy), ty.

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.
