Parallel Lives. Doubling Season. Precursor Golem. Rite of Replication.
= break all calculators in a 12 mile radius. they spontaneously combust, and are removed from the game. But you can runic repitition them back, then flash them back again. repeat for infinite exploding calculators.
also, if you think you're brains can take it, read my post on Back from the Brink

1. Float your mana (Your lands will be destroyed)
2. Mycosynth Lattice
3. March of the Machines
4. Parallel Lives becomes a creature, so now you enchant it with Followed Footsteps!
Now every turn you get a Parallel Lives creature token that doubles exponentially. Each turn you get 2^X copies where X is the number of Parallel Lives on the battlefield:
Turn 1: 1 + 2^1 = 3 total
Turn 2: 3 + 2^3 or 3 + 8 = 11 total
Turn 3: 11 + 2^11 or 11 + 2048 = 2059 total
Turn 4: 2059 + 2^2059 = Approx 6.62e+619 (Scientific Notation: You take 6.62 and move the decimal place 619 places to the right)
Whenever something like this happens, my friend calls it "Math: The Gathering" :D

it feels wrong not having my counters doubled....
but still it IS conditionally better than doubling season, such as if you don't have anything that puts counters on things in your deck

@DarthParallax
Assuming one of each of those cards and assuming you kick the Rite of Replication...
You end up with 20 Precursor Golem tokens and 328 3/3 Golem Tokens. Very impressive, but they're vulnerable to Lightning Bolt.
@SwordofKaldra
They probably won't make the other half of Doubling Season unless they give it extra rules to exclude planeswalkers. 'Walkers are WAY to powerful when they start with double counters and charge up at double speed.

@Grimzo1590:
Your assumption is wrong. That's because Triggered abilities always start with "When" or "Whenever". If this was a triggered ability, you'd be right.
Abilities like this one though, structured like "If x would happen, do y instead", are replacement effects (among others). And each replacement effect gets only one chance per event to do its thing (Comprehensive Rules, paragraph 614.5). So your two Parallel Lives create two replacement effects that act on each event. They 'll double the number of tokens entering the battlefield twice, resulting in four times as many tokens and that's it.

It's definately a good card. Not tournament quality good, but it will be fine on many kitchen tables.
It's also definately worse than doubling season. And it won't be wort as much as doubling season. Still good.
3.5/5
