About Double Stroke

Double Stroke, Conspiracy, designed by Christopher Moeller first released in Jun, 2014 in the set Conspiracy. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 56.04.

A deck that focuses on casting a high number of instant and sorcery spells with the same name would benefit from using Double Stroke, as it allows for powerful duplication effects. However, a more versatile option could be Swarm Intelligence, which copies any instant or sorcery spell you cast, not just ones with a specific name, providing more flexibility and potentially greater value in a wider range of situations. Double Stroke could still see play in specific combo decks looking to abuse a particular spell, but overall Swarm Intelligence may offer a more consistent and powerful effect.

Rules

08/23/16

A conspiracy’s static and triggered abilities function as long as that conspiracy is face-up in the command zone.

08/23/16

At the end of the game, you must reveal any face-down conspiracies you own in the command zone to all players.

08/23/16

At the end of the game, you must reveal any face-down conspiracies you own in the command zone to all players. Notably, you can’t bluff conspiracies with hidden agenda by putting other cards into the command zone face down as the game starts.

08/23/16

Conspiracies are never put into your deck. Instead, you put any number of conspiracies from your card pool into the command zone as the game begins. These conspiracies are face up unless they have hidden agenda, in which case they begin the game face down.

08/23/16

Conspiracies aren’t legal for any sanctioned Constructed format, but may be included in other Limited formats, such as Cube Draft.

08/23/16

If you play multiple games after the draft, you can name a different card in each new game.

08/23/16

There are several ways to secretly name a card, including writing the name on a piece of paper that’s kept with the face-down conspiracy. If you have multiple face-down conspiracies, you may name a different card for each one. It’s important that each named card is clearly associated with only one of the conspiracies.

08/23/16

You don’t have to play with any conspiracy you draft. However, you have only one opportunity to put conspiracies into the command zone, as the game begins. You can’t put conspiracies into the command zone after this point.

05/29/14

If the spell being copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Skeletal Scrying has), the copy will have the same value of X.

05/29/14

The copy will have the same targets as the spell it’s copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can’t choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).

05/29/14

You must turn Double Stroke face up before you cast the spell with the chosen name to have Double Stroke’s second ability trigger.
