No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Deck idea that comes from something I read on the forums.

What to do?

Get out as many doubling seasons as possible and hook em up with followed footsteps. With paradox hazes, thats millions of doubling seasons in a few turns.

With Opalescence? Millions of 5/5 creatures. With Right of replication? Millions of 1/1 creatures as well.


If you have only a single doubling season and a single paradox haze on it and nothing else, here is the math and how many doubling seasons you end up getting:

Well, the base effect is just generating one token, so the number of tokens that end up entering the battlefield is 2^n, where n is the number of Doubling Seasons.

So on the first turn, you get 2^1 = 2 new tokens, plus the one that was already there makes 3.

Then next turn you get 2^3 = 8 new tokens, for 11 total.

Then, 2^11 = 2048 (I should know that, but at this point I started using my computer's basic Calculator program just to make sure), for 2059 total.

And 2^2059 is about 6.6185228434044942951864067458396*10^619, according to my computer (obviously it rounds at some point; I then rounded it to the first two significant digits).

to make it easier, thats over: 66 and then 618 zeroes. For you visuals:

You will have 660000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000 doubling seasons.

Then, 2^(6.6185228434044942951864067458396*10^619) is too much for my little program to handle, and, I'm pretty sure, is too large to describe any number of actual objects in the observed universe.

Someone else did the math, thats a copy paste from a thread on the forums.

Nice one! But you really need a lot of mana if you want to make all your combo's work. And what about a Mirror-Sigil Sergeant?

I think the question you saw was based on one I posted on the WoTC forums a year or two ago. xD

I cannot approve of this enough. The only thing I can think of is maybe a splinter twin or two for EVEN FASTER DOUBLING SEASON COPIES, but this is pretty much gravy as it is, and a fantastic thing to boot.
