Dualcaster Mage + Mirage Mockery

Dualcaster Mage

Mirage Mockery

How it works

1. Cast Mirage Mockery by paying 2, targeting any nonartifact creature you control.
2. Holding priority, cast Dualcaster Mage by paying 1.
3. When Dualcaster Mage enters the battlefield, it triggers, copying Mirage Mockery, with the copy targeting Dualcaster Mage.
4. Resolve the Mirage Mockery copy, creating a token copy of Dualcaster Mage.
5. Repeat from step 3.
6. Optionally, you may initially cast Mirage Mockery with its entwine cost to get infinite copies of any artifact creature(s) you control with haste.

This clever loop leverages Dualcaster Mage's entering-the-battlefield trigger to copy the very spell that creates it, turning a single cast into an endless chain of recursive wizardry. By having the cloned Mirage Mockery target Dualcaster Mage itself, each new generation of the mage instantly replaces its predecessor while spawning an uninterrupted army of token copies. If you paid the entwine cost for Mirage Mockery initially, this engine scales up to simultaneously duplicate any artifact creature you happen to control, granting you an overwhelming board state of haste-enabled tokens alongside infinite creature entry triggers and magecraft opportunities.
