Try him with Knowledge Pool. You can copy what goes into the pool (before it's exiled) AND what you get out of the pool (be it a creature or an instant/sorcery).
It trips up your opponents and still allows you to cast your own spells if you need to. Very fun.

If you like to play big expensive spells, Timmy, you'll really love to play them twice.

Character Bio:
Riku of Two Reflections had two passions: the study of spellcraft and the study of life. The mage could never choose, but had no time to master both. Through an ancient illusionist's spell, he found the solution: he secretly split himself into two reflections, and each Riku trained and studied for years in its chosen field. Today Riku is hailed as a master of both disciplines, and few know his secrets. The reflections never stray far from each other, and when danger threatens, enemies face the power of both Rikus.

and then they admitted that riku's art is just a split image. http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/741
as a graphic artist, i now read his art as, 1 art , duplicate, flip horizontally, canvas size width x2, move the duplicate, select, feather, hue/saturation, select, feather, hue/saturation, select, feather, hue/saturation,...
oh and by the way i still think izzy's reference for riku is this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_%28entertainer%29

I think...I think...this is what you get if you punch a Mirror Gallery, with Doubling Season out.

Putting him in with intet is just cruel... play the card you get from intet for free, then copy it for two... if that happens to be, say, a hydra omnivore... that's two 8/8's for gu...

Yes. Yes. Eighteen thousand times yes. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at a big, splashy sorcery or awesome enters-the-battlefield creature again without thinking about how much I'd love to copy it with Riku.

I can't believe no one's mentioned double Storm Crow.

Absolutely thrilled with this guy. The fact that he can copy spells AND creatures makes his build-aroundability almost limitless but why the hell does his pre-con not include Nulltread Gargantuan or Crystal Shard!?
