Adric, Mathematical Genius

Gameplan

Adric copies your best activated and triggered abilities, doubling value engines like draw triggers, mana abilities, and ETB/attack triggers. As a Doctor's companion he's almost always paired with a blue-inclusive Doctor partner, so you build around stacking and replaying triggers while protecting Adric, then convert that snowballing card and resource advantage into a combo or overwhelming board. His Ultimate Sacrifice doubles as interaction by countering a key activated or triggered ability.

Key Cards

• The Tenth Doctor — A premier blue Doctor partner whose suspend-and-cheat-time triggers Adric loves to copy.
• The Thirteenth Doctor — Strong blue companion whose time counter and value triggers scale with Adric's copies.
• Isochron Scepter — Imprinting a cheap instant gives a repeatable activated ability that Adric can copy for free value.
• Thousand-Year Storm — Spell-cast triggers copied by Adric explode card advantage and combo potential.
• Aetherflux Reservoir — Copying the life-gain trigger accelerates toward the 50-life laser kill.
• Strionic Resonator — Stacks with Adric to copy triggered abilities multiple times for runaway value.

Upgrade Path

Pick a high-impact blue Doctor partner that generates repeatable triggers (suspend, time counters, or ETB value) so Adric always has targets. Add cheap protection (Swiftfoot Boots, Mother of Runes-style effects, counterspells) and fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, signets) to power the activation each turn. Tighten toward a dedicated combo finish—Isochron Scepter loops, Aetherflux Reservoir, or extra-turn chains—rather than diffuse value.
