"Spell copy doubling season"
Custom Cards forum
Posted on Jan. 27, 2015, 11:59 p.m. by jandrobard
Maybe something like:
Melek's crucible
5
artifact
Whenever a copy of a spell would be put onto the stack, instead put two copies of that spell onto the stack.
Does this wording cause infinite copies and if so how do I fix that?

JWiley129 good point.
Maybe:
Melek's crucible
3RR
Enchantment
Whenever another spell or ability copies an instant or sorcery spell, you may put another copy of that spell onto the stack.
Better?

Second one is much better, although it could probably cost 
since it's ability does nothing by itself.

We shoudl probably talk about how busted this is with storm. It literally doubles storm.
Also the way it is worded now means that it goes infinite with two copies on the battlefield.

lordoftheshadows At 5 mana storm seems like less of a concern. Pyromancer's Swath triples Grapeshot, and that isn't played much. Is that okay that it goes infinite or should it be changed to "from a source not named Melek's Crucible".

If you word it as a replacement effect, it doesn't go infinite off itself. It'd be something like "If a spell or ability would copy a spell, it copies that spell twice as many times instead." (The "if" is the important word there.)
If you decide to keep it as a trigger, I'd recommend adding the Psychic Battle Oracle text fix: "Copying spells this way doesn't trigger abilities of permanents named Melek's Crucible."
Seems super nifty, and kind of busted in the right circumstances (though not busted with Storm, because Storm cares about spells being cast, and this doesn't cast the copies it creates.). Eye of the Storm comes to mind.

Quite fun in a commander deck. But it is a built around card, so it would be pretty bad in modern or standard. I think :)

This card would be so broken if played alongside Pyromancer Ascension

I agree with erabel it should be a replacement effect.
If a spell or ability you control would copy a spell, copy that spell twice instead.
And it should definitely be 
. But if you really want to make another dub season, you should add copying abilities too. It just becomes so wordy.

You want something that is worded a bit closer to Mirari, then it will do what you want. Also, your card should technically be an enchantment, as artifacts don't do static abilities anymore.
