Double team is a designed-for-digital, MTG Arena-specific Keyword action introduced in Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate. You get two creatures for the price of one.

Description[ | ]

When a creature with double team attacks, if it's not a token, conjure a duplicate of the original into your hand, and then both cards perpetually lose double team.[1] Despite the digital nature of this ability, if the attacker dies with the ability on the stack, the card being put in the graveyard will not lose double team once the ability resolves. As with other "conjure a duplicate" abilities, the duplicate created by Double team will not retain any effects on the original card, including perpetual effects.[2]

Double team took the place of Myriad from the original Baldur's Gate set.[3]

Rules[ | ]

Double Team is not included as part of the Comprehensive Rules.[4] It operates according to the programmed rules of Magic: The Gathering Arena.
