Doppelgang: Mirror the Market
Doppelgang is a practical tool for any blue black deck that wants to multiply threats or answers on demand. Cast for {X}{X}{U}{B}, the spell scales with your investment and targets permanents rather than simply copying cards in exile. Experienced pilots will recognize its strength in converting a single high impact permanent into a board of identical pieces; this includes utility artifacts, key creatures with enter the battlefield triggers and even enchantments that alter the game state. Use it to swarm, to protect a critical permanent by duplicating it, or to turn a single removal-resistant threat into a decisive advantage.
The wording is straightforward and the result deterministic which makes sequencing and stack decisions easier during tight turns. There is a small lore nod on the card that ties the duplication theme to the market's crowded alleys in Karlov Manor so the effect feels at home in the set. Players familiar with multiplayer formats will appreciate how Doppelgang can shift value across the table when timed with sorcery speed interactions or paired with cost reducers that increase X without additional colored mana.
