    Mana needed: 687 decks on Commander Spellbook

    How it works

    Steps

The Necromancy Aura creature token is put into your graveyard as a state-based action due to being an Aura that is unattached. The Necromancy token leaves-the-battlefield ability triggers, as well as Clever Impersonator's enters-the-battlefield ability. Resolve the Necromancy trigger, causing you to sacrifce Clever Impersonator. Resolve the Clever Impersonator trigger, creating two token copies of Necromancy that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to their other types. Repeat from step 4.
