Parallel Evolution

Spitting Image's Color Fit

I'm a little surprised at the idea that Spitting Image isn't even much of a bend. When it was printed the only green cards that made token copies were Spawnwrithe and Sprouting Phytohydra (which only copied themselves, Parallel Evolution (which only copies tokens) and Dual Nature (which is the only thing vaguely like Spitting Image). Since then the only comparable card is Bramble Sovereign. Seems like a heck of a bend.

No, it’s an in-color ability used infrequently. There are many of those.

Jace and Chess Mystery

I found the idea of Jace playing chess disconcerting. Isn't it fantasy writing 101 to avoid referencing specific things from Earth? It's basically unbelievable that a game as complicated as chess would be created in a case of parallel evolution in another universe. It may seem like a small thin,g, but it really broke my immersion in the latest story (though overall it was a good story!).

The mystery of why chess exists across the multiverse has yet to be written. : ) I chalk it up a to a huge chess-loving planeswalker. #WotCStaff

Parallel Evolution Planeswalkers Story / Lore

Epic Goblin Tokens

Happy birthday! One time, I battled my brother's Riku of Two Reflections commander deck. He had out Doubling Season and Parallel Lives, and had Riku double-cast Chancellor of the Forge. Over the course of the battle, he proceeded to double-cast Parallel Evolution, then flash it back (and double-cast it again)! By the end, he had out over 6 million goblin tokens! Even with the 200 life I had gained over the course of the battle (with my Zedruu deck), I couldn't hope to win.

A kindred soul. : )

Doubling Cards Contribution

Is it safe to say that if a card has anything to do with doubling, you had a hand in it? (Doubling Season, Parallel Evolution, Rhys the Redeemed, and Dual Nature spring to mind, as well as Minion Reflector)

I’ve had a hand in many of the doubling cards but not all. Doubling Season is one of my favorite cards I’ve ever designed (Top 10 - yeah, there’s a column there).
